My father, Jesse Ray Rainer, grew up in Oaky Streak, AL, born there in 1901. When I was arounf 5 years old, he took our family to the site of the cabin where he grew up, which was nothing but a small rectangular patch of dirt bounded by eroded timbers. Nearby (<15 yards) was a small dilapidated church and graveyard. Oaky Streak is in Butler County, Alabama, about 2 miles west of the Butler/Crenshaw county line, and 3 miles north of the Butler/Covington county line, near Hwy 59. There was no sign of human habitation or industrialization in the area at that time, and the closest town is Industry, AL. Mapquest has Aerial Image of the area. I hope this helps

Regards,
Bob Rainer
