For years I've wondered about a main road here in Springfield, called "Ingram Mill Road", which runs parallel to I-65 at the eastern edge of town. Now I know! But I don't know anything about apples....sorry. However, On INGRAM MILL ROAD in Sprngfld is an LDS Family History Center. You might be able to find some info there.
