Do you know of Petri Station ???

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

Our sources for Petri Station (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 Petri Station other than they indicate that Petri Station would be found somewhere in Hancock County, Kentucky.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1889 and closed  in 1904.
