The Ghost town of Ogilby
< on 2/26/2007 5:19 AM >
Posted on Forum: UER Forum
 
From Ghosttowns.com "The town of Ogilby is now a ghost town. Ogilby had been a small town of workers for the American Girl Mine and a loading area for the Southern Pacific Railroad. All that remains of Ogilby is the foundation of the school house and the cemetery. The two lie only about 50 feet apart. According to the book, "Southern California's Best Ghost Towns" by Philip Varney, this cemetery was established in 1878. The proprietor of the Gold Rock Ranch R.V. Resort, which lies about 5 miles north, says that Ogilby Cemetery is mostly made up of Chinese who worked for the Southern Pacific Railroad."
Visited on my trip to Yuma. Not really much left, Wanted to visit tumco, but was out of time. Maybe next trip.

How did this make it in a book of "the best ghost towns"? There's nothing there...


...except that badass shallow grave. I'm digging it up.
