Yes, it's a little town in the southwestern part of Ross County, Ohio. This is how the town got its name:
The pastor's little boy didn't like it when people went to sleep in the morning worship services. So one Sunday the boy brought his bean shooter and some beans with him to church. When asked, he told people, "If anyone goes to sleep in my dad's services, I'll Knockemstiff!"
The word got around, and not only was the church called Knockemstiff, but that's how the town got its name.
