Leonhardt's of Alfalfa County, OK

"Recently, I was in Cherokee/Alva to search for information on my great grandparents - Philip John Leonhardt and his wife Christina Ahlbrandt Leonhardt.

Fortunately, I was able to locate their grave in the Short Springs Cemetery - it's just to the right after passing through the gate. I also obtained copies of their wills from the courthouse in Cherokee.

Now I'm wondering if there is further information available about their lives in the area. I think they lived in Ingersoll and I took photos of the tile elevator. In my g grandmother's will there is mention of grain harvested by my grandfather, Alexander S. Leonhardt, being stored in an elevator.

I also noticed (and didn't have time to check it out) a one-room schoolhouse building with a sign "Short Springs Cemetery Assn."

Does the association have records of families in the area? Any information you could provide to me would be greatly appreciated." -- Loreva Joyce Leonhardt Norton - Email: sunjoyce74@msn.com
