I am interested in Corley, Logan County, Arkansas. I understand that Corley is now a ghost town. The last time I was in that area was back in the 70's when my daughter was in a stroller...she is now 36. We visited the graveyard where many of my kinfolk are buried. My Great great grandfather,John Thomas Burnett, moved to that area after the Civil War. I think there is a springs there named after him....now named Burnette Springs. Also my Great grandfather, William O. Reynolds, was a Mayor of Magazine, Logan County, Arkansas. Magazine is still a living town. thanks, Kae **************It's only a deal if it's where you want to go. Find your travel deal here.
