Afton is a small community of about 900 people right on the junctionof Hwy 34 and 169 in S. W. Iowa. Creston is county seat. Would bet the county clerk can get you probate, maybe a will, death cert should be available for those after 1880. Good luck cdp Cindyburd@aol.com wrote: > Does anyone know where Afton is?
