This Nebraska/Ohio bit by
Frank Sullivan ...
He made a few simple calculations, as a result of which he pioneered to Nebraska, so that when the next dust storm came up, instead of being blow [sic] from Ohio back to Holcomb Landing, he was blown from Nebraska back to Ohio, where he wanted to be.
I was puzzled to note that there is a place in Nebraska called Town in Ohio, Nebraska. But it turns out there is a simple explanation: it seems they named it after a town in Ohio.
