Village of Claude and naming of town

I removed the following text:

"The name of the town officially became Morgantown on February 27, 1915 after previously being known as The Village of Claude.

It is unsourced, and the information appeared in this article, as well as in the article for Morgantown, Marion County, Mississippi. It is unclear which place this information should be attributed to, if at all. Please, if someone has any kind of source (that is not just a mirror site of the Wikipedia article), please add in the article, or here. Ditch ∝ 01:07, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It should be the Morgantown in Marion County. Here is a source. I believe it made it into this article via copy-and-paste by a newbie (me).Jacona (talk) 19:49, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough. The newspaper clipping is behind a pay-wall, so since I can't verify myself, I'm reluctant to re-add the material. But if you want to go ahead and put it back in the Marion County article with that as a reference, I will not object. Thanks! Ditch ∝ 23:03, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The single page of the paper has three references to "Morgantown, formerly Village of Claude", but they don't have the date and other verbage that was in the article Here is a clip you can use to get around the paywall. I don't love the source, I'd like to find whatever was used in the original Marion County article. Jacona (talk) 23:55, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Yeah, in my mind that confirms at least the "Claude" aspect. Maybe I'll pop in a (formerly known as Claude) somewhere if its not too awkward. I agree that it would be great to find the original source of the info. Everything online is basically a mirror of older versions of the WP page...but the date and the story all seem too specific to have just come out of no where. But also I love a good mystery, so we'll see what turns up. Ditch ∝ 01:48, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
