Finding Kerlin's Well -- the search continues

After finding a picture, a video and a few other references to Kerlin's Well,
we drove north out of Phoenix by way of Prescott to the small community
of Ashfork
which is west of Flagstaff on I40. The only directions we had to the
rock where my great-grandfather carved his name in 1877 was the brief
description of "9 miles north of Seligman."

We drove the few miles west from Ashfork
to Seligman
and quickly found the public library. This small library was housed in a
double wide mobile home. The library was supposedly closed, but the
door was open and we found the librarian working with maintenance
people. A toilet had overflowed and soaked the carpet and they were
drying out. Despite the flood, the librarian was very helpful and made

told me that there was only one road north out of Seligman, a
ranch road that required a pass to drive.
