[FONT=times, times new roman, serif][SIZE=+1] I believe in adhering to the old names when they are appropriate, ancient and honorable. [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=times, times new roman, serif][SIZE=+1] Shannonville was the home of the Shannons; they owned the most of the village. The late Charles Shannon made provision in his will for the poor of the place and vicinity and although in the early days of the century it was called Hogtown, for nearly 100 years its post office was known as Shannonville. So with Evansburg, named after a famous family who built it. It also was once Hustleton, but certainly for a century it had been Evansburg.
