Looks like yet more depredations of the autostandardization bot. @N Tychonievich, it never ends, does it?
One of the results: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:MNZ6-BXW
Painfully amusingly, the index detail page also randomly sticks a pin in Ohio.
With the index detail pages going dishonest on us like this, it is no longer possible for users to determine what text was actually originally indexed in placename fields. I have no idea how "Brooksville" could turn into "Lafayette" or "Flatrock" (or "Henry" or "Madison"); the bot must have been inebriated for these entries.
