Homework Lesson 5
The small town of Podunk, Arizona is located somewhere up there in the desert, maybe close to Superior or maybe further north around Globe. I don't actually remember. Anyhow, I think that it may have been founded around the late 1800s but it is a ghost town now and it never had a population over 1000 people or so. Nobody knows who founded it, but I kind of figured that as long as the Wiki here remains free and it doesn't cost me any money, I'll go ahead and try to describe where the birth and death records that were generated there can be found. I doubt if the Wiki will remain free to users for very long, so copy this information fast if you are interested. The little town had a hospital and a small newspaper when it was active, and the cemetery is still there. My birth certificate says I was born in the hospital in 1942. The hospital was a lot older than I was for sure because I've heard that they were issuing birth certificates as far back as 1910. My neighbor told me that those hospital records were moved to the new town that was built to replace Podunk. They bull dozed over Podunk and moved everybody to Kernel, Arizona, a few miles away. I think that the Kernel, Arizona health clinic has the records from the Podunk Hospital. So in case you ever get there, look me up in the 1942 section and let me know if you find me. My name is Joseph Middling Piddles, born June 1, 1942. I'll be in there! The newspaper was called: "Podunk Publishes" and it closed down before the town became a ghost town in 1963. Everybody in town saved the last newspaper they printed and there was even an article about it in the newspaper from Phoenix. I used to go to the cemetery there when I was a kid. The headstones were all worn down even then and I never was able to collect a name or a date off of any of them. They marked the graves with cement headstones and in the hot weather they cracked and after a while, they were standing but not much else. There is a list of the names of people who were buried there somewhere in the city hall of Kernel but I've never actually seen it. So take my advice and make a trip to Kernel and snoop around at City Hall and maybe they'll let you take a peek at what they have there left from when the town of Podunk had people living in it. Just don't go in the summer because it gets really, really hot in the summer in the desert and you won't have any fun at all. There were a lot of churches there but all I remember are Methodists, Baptists and a handfull of Mormons who met in a house. Catholics had to drive to Via Sonora to go to church.
