Hi Shirley,
If you do had near etc in the Location field, you don't have to wade
through them in the Master Location list - you can sort without
prepositions - see checkbox on the sort.
I don't use this much but I would regard "near Wichita Falls" and
"Wichita Falls" as two different locations - just as Folke, Dorset
and North Wootton, Dorset are two different locations even though
they're less than a mile apart.

To me, "of" means that the person resided at that place at some
time. It is not necessarily related to the event. So I don't use
it. Instead, I add a residence event, using the date of the event
if appropriate (a lot of the "of" in the IGI have nothing to do with
the event, the person simply lived there at some point).
For "near", for example, I enter "Wichita Co. Texas, USA" in the
location field, and then in the address field I enter "near Wichita Falls".
The net result is that in the master location list I never have to
wade through all the "near" and "of" and I don't have a location
listed more than once.
