EXTINCT GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATIONS.



[This list of lost or extinct geographical locations suggests a world of interest to the student of

local history. It has been compiled from all sources of the Historical Society; from manuscripts,

archives, maps, emigration pamphlets, shippers' guides, directories, local histories and newspaper

clippings, and does not assume to be infallible. The changes in county lines, the renaming of

counties, and the indefinite descriptions given in acts of incorporation, make it impossible to

locate exactly many of the towns without help from local historians. This help we earnestly solicit;

with it we should be enabled hereafter to publish a complete and correct list of all lost towns of

the state. Even as the list stands to-day it will be of great use to public officers as well as students.



By this term "lost towns" we do not always mean that the town no longer exists, or has ceased to

hold a place on the map, but that it is no longer a post office, so far as we can sscertain, and has

either succumbed to the encroachments of the farmer or is simply a crossroads trading point. In

most instances. however, the town has ceased to be, has fallen, and lies buried with the hopes of

the promotors.



We have had much inquiry in regard to this list, and present it at this time in reply to the

solicitations of our patrons. No week goes by without requests for just the information contained

in this list.--SECRETARY.]

NOTE 1.--In a letter to the secretary, dated Okmulgee, Okla., July 3, 1912, L. de Steiguer says:

"Ohio City was owned by P. D. Ridenour, Abner L. Ross, Abe Morton, Mr. Iliff, Mr. Pilcher, L.

de Steiguer and some nine other Lawrence men, the names of whom I do not recall. Abner L.

Ross was secretary of the town company and P. D. Ridenour president. Mr. Ross is now living in

Los Angeles, Cal., is engaged actively in the real estate business, and, although eighty years old, is

in good health. The location of Ohio City was not a good one, as we could not get living water on

the town site. It was quite a thriving burg during the carpetbag emigration. It had a large Indian

trade. P.P. Rider was one of our first citizens, but . was not a member of the town company. I

hauled him from Lawrence to Ohio City on May l, 1857."
