Ghost Town - Fitzlen, Oklahoma

"I found this description from an old postcard I found listed on the eBay auction site. It says, in part... FITZLEN, OKLA. JAN 27, 1909 hand cancel to Alva, Okla. Killer is early bullseye type (see scan). According to Helbock (1989:92) Fitzlen, Woods County with operational post office between 1899 and 1913. The postcard was on eBay. I'm not trying to help sell this, just to learn more of this old town. The card is addressed to Miss Opal Rose, 1026 Santa Fe St. in Alva, from a fellow named Melvin, in Fitzlen. It has a 'received' stamp at Capron, Jan. 27, 1909, with a 1-cent stamp attached. Has anyone ever heard of the town of FITZLEN, Oklahoma?" -- Rod Murrow, Freedom, OK - Email: rod@murrow.com   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
