Ashley-Short Springs (OK) Book...

"I have written a book about the ghost towns of Ashley and Short Springs in Alfalfa County. I also have information on the ghost town of Ingersoll. If you would want any information about these 3 ghost towns I would be glad to share.

I finished the book on Ashley-Short Springs in January. I am selling them for $12 plus postage. The postage is $2 for book rate or $3.50 for priority mail. It is about 255 pages. The research on Ingersoll is going well. I have nearly completed the school records.

I am now compiling a list of people who purchased lots in Ingersoll. I have read the Ingersoll newspapers on microfilm and reading the nearby towns papers as some of them have columns on Ingersoll, such as Burlington, Carmen, etc. This was where my mother grew up and my Dad taught.

I am collecting information now on all areas and will try to interview some of the oldtimers soon. This will take some time to finish but I think it will be very interesting." -- Ila Wessell, R.R. 2 Box 52, Cherokee, OK 73728 - Email: gwessels@akslc.net
