Do you know of Lanthus ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Lanthus. 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 Lanthus.<1>

Our sources for Lanthus (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 Lanthus other than they indicate that Lanthus would be found somewhere in Lake County, Indiana.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1897 and closed  in 1900.

Found in a comprehensive list of Post Offices that was created by Cameron Blevins and Richard Helbock.<2>
