Re: "I go to Troublesome to mourn and weep," which someone thought might refer to the name of a town, many postings back. In fact,Troublesome was a name which was often given to a flood-prone creek.

There is a wildlife refuge, the Flint Hills NWR, about 60 miles SE of Kansas City, and it has a creek called Troublesome. Since most refuges were purchased in the 1930's as the government bought up flood-prone, failing farms, this all makes sense.

It gave me a tingle to see that name on small, smudgy printing on the refuge's map of long-forgotten places.
