College Corner sits on the state line. It is an interesting place to do genealogical research because not only do you change states, during part of the year, you change time zones when you cross the main street. The local cemetery is actually in Union County IN -

Butler County, Ohio Places compiled by Larry Helton 1993:

Many of these places still exist. Those that do not often have a nearby road, school, or business named after the place now gone. I can tell you where most of these places were or is located and possibly where the name came from, others I can give you my guess. *Most common name followed by other known names if applicable.
Enjoy,
