A painter working on a Wisconsin water tower left behind one big typo. The mistake had Stoughton (STOH'-tuhn) residents scratching their heads. The new paint job had the town's name without the second T. It was spelled "S-T-O-U-G-H-O-N," rather than "S-T-O-U-G-H-T-O-N."
It turns out a painter from Neumann Co. in Romeoville, Ill., had the correct information but simply forgot the second T when painting the 6-foot letters.
And the name was spelled right on one side of the tower. It's just the side facing town that's wrong.
Painter Mike Sandmire says it was the first time he had made such an error. He added that it would be easily fixed with a new coat of paint.

Stoughton makes the news! My grandparents lived there, as did my aunt and uncle. For about a year, my parents and I lived by Lake Kegonsa, outside of Stoughton. It used to be a very Norwegian town, celebrating Norwegian Independence Day as well as the 4th of July. Ny uncle joked that he'd lived there so long, he was going to change his name to Culverson instead of Culver.
