Well Vashti/Nalora I wasn't saying you were wrong, heaven forbid, I was only stating my opinion as I had recently visited there, now maybe we can stop wasting peoples time with this, ok, Bill Cook In a message dated 10/3/98 8:20:35 AM Central Daylight Time, vashti@theshop.net writes: << Ghost Towns of Oklahoma includes cities that once were thriving and growing and now are slowly dying out, as the oldsters of the town die, and the young folks move away. Berwyn (Gen Autry) in the last paragraph it says: "During World War II Gene Autry was given a brief period of growth. Large Aviation facilities were located just north of the village, and many people working there lived in the community. One rock building completed in 1904 still stands, it houses a small grocery store. The store, a church, and the post office plus a few homes are all that remain of a place that in 1915 had ten stores, a newspaper, two lumbermills, a hotel, an oil mill, two cotton gins, an elevator, and its own electric light plant. There were also two lawyers, two doctors, and an undertaker. The population has dropped from over 600 to 120 in 1970 and an estimated 90 in 1975. The consolidated grade school which continues to function is known as the Berwyn School." Not all Ghost Towns are filled JUST with Ghosts. Some of us kinda like to live with ghosts. (Heck, I live in a city but live across the street from a cemetary) Personally, I think Meeker and Mulhall OK are ghost towns, but they still exist, just slowly but surely....dying out. Nalora >>
