You'd have to really enjoy a circus performance to name your child after the company that presented it, but that's exactly what happened in the 1860s. Angevine June Titus and Company Favor (his actual name) grew up to plat the town of Pataha in Garfield County, Washington Territory in 1882. https://www.washingtonruralheritage.org/digital/collection/pomeroy/id/754/rec/343

Anything we can do, #Victorian #circus performer Madame Yucca could do “genteel in the costume of the parlor” - not backwards, but undoubtedly in heels (and definitely in a serious corset!) (c. 1898) #CircusHistory #VictorianHistory #Strongwoman #FemaleAthletes #CircusArts #FeatsOfStrength
