N mystery solved by Superintendent Darrell Treece

PHOTO of SIGN

Adair County Supt. Darrell Treece has a very most interesting suggestion on the italicized letter "N" in the Amandaville Christian Church sign. He wrote, "If you look at the degree of slant in the M, the A and the V in AMANDAVILLE,they all appear to be the same as the N. The N in CHRISTIAN is different.Evidently that was just the way the letters were made."

At first, I couldn't get the meaning of Superintendent Treece's insight, but it's readily aparent if one considers that the signmaker may had more Roman "M's" and no Roman "A's" or "Ns," and that the signmaker may have cut the Roman M's to make the Roman A's and italicized N. The N in Christian is Roman form, and would not have been a jury rigged letter.-EW
