Judge E. B. Green and Esq. Joel Bowen had the naming of Rome Township. Bowen wanted it called Bowenville. Green proposed to cut a piece out of a rough pumpkin and throw heads and tails; this was done.
Green prepared the piece, left the oval green side on and the bottom flat, threw it up, and chose the green side. The oval side made it come up three times, and he named it Rome; he had just been reading the history of Rome.
