Translate Your Name Then What A Chronicle Editorial
Miss Jennie Harmsen of 228 Main Street in Pella argues that translating names to their real meanings yields amusement. She cites Dutch-origin terms like Bruinekool and Geebbee, and notes the Goad meaning from Webster as a sharp implement. The piece reflects on changing times from oxen to cars and planes, and recalls the biblical phrase about kicking against the goad.
