Do you know of Radnor ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Radnor. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Radnor.<1>

Our sources for Radnor (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Radnor other than they indicate that Radnor would be found somewhere in Peoria County, Illinois.
