Missing ghost towns in Georgia

HELP!

Various correspondents are looking for information on the following ghost towns in GEORGIA. These are not listed on my main page for this state, nor do I have anything in my records on them. Are you able to help? If so please respond to me and I will forward the information on to those looking for the information.

BOOK!!! I am looking for the book Abandoned Towns of Georgia (or Extinct Towns of GA). I’m not sure of the exact name. If any of you know of it, please let me know. I’d like to obtain a copy.

AQUILLA:

“Looking for a community in GA called Aquilla. Can anyone help locate it for me?”

BEECHAM:

1860's

CYRENE: Decatur Co.

DRY LAKE: Brooks Co.

“I am trying to find information on the Dry Lake settlement, Brooks County from 1880 to early 1900s. According to the 1880 census I have at least 12 family groups there and wonder if there is any history available for it. Some are still there on 1900 census. The settlement was somewhere between Quitman, Tallokas and Pavo on the Dry Lake road.”

FROG TOWN: Forsyth Co.

LUTHERSVILLE:

“Looking for info and wondering if you could tell us if there is anything still left standing there.”

(GBS’s note: possibly the same as Lutherstown?)

OWL DEN:

“I am looking for any information on Owl Den, GA and Willis, GA.”

Unknown town on the Flint River:

“A few years ago, a friend of my father mentioned to him a town which was once located on the Flint River in Georgia, and was abandoned after an epidemic spread through the community. I don't know what year or time period this took place or even if it's true. However, I thought it was worth a try asking if you had any idea where I was talking about.”

WILLIS:

“I am looking for any information on Owl Den, GA and Willis, GA.”
