My mother was born in the Royal community, just west of Silk Creek, toward Loraine from Cottage Grove. I know how Silk Creek got its name (by family legend) but I do not know the origin of the name of Royal. There was an SDA school there for a few years - Royal Academy - and a store/gas station, and a few homes.<BR>

If anyone knows the origin of the name, I'd appreciate it.<BR><BR>Roy N. Blaine<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR> </body>
