We really liked Wonewoc’s Wikipedia entry, and are condensing it slightly here for you:  “The name “Wonewoc” is of Indigenous American origin, probably meaning “howling hills”. However, at the time of colonization, the site and subsequent town were known to the native Hoocąk (Winnebago) people as Wonį́wąk which derives ultimately from an infinitive meaning, “to be wicked, bad.” However, Josephine White Eagle says that wōnį́wąk means more precisely, “you are naughty, foolish, not thinking.” Apparently, a settler asked a native resident, “What do you call this place?” and the man replied, “You’re a knucklehead.”  The town was incorporated as a village in 1878, and once the railroad was built, village growth exploded, (but) when the railroad era ended Wonewoc’s growth halted. Wonewoc is now a quiet town known for its beauty and close-knit community.”  It sounds like our kind of place.  The card was mailed in 1909 with stamp and postmark.  Grade: 1
