1964 - "Mountainside"

In chatting with a neighbor (whose name I wish I could recall so as to attribute this information properly) we discussed the original names of the neighborhood.  Her reference was 1964.

Her description was that Ohio was the dividing line.  North of Ohio was "Fireside" and south of Ohio was "Green Mountain Estates".  In Fireside, Richard Kelly was the man.  The first house was occupied was in 1964.  Back in those pre-incorporation days, Mr. Kelly was the law for his territory.

She went on to say that Green Mountianside (emphasis on 'side') was east of Alkire.  It was a turkey farm.  I suggested that Cedar was a dirt road on the Haden property.  She didn't know the owner but did know that it was for turkeys!

Investigation Is Needed:  Why is GMCA "Green Mountainside".  The speculation is that "Green Mountain Civic Association" was taken.  We'd like to know.
