Do you know of Orneville ???

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

Our sources for Orneville (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 Orneville other than they indicate that Orneville would be found somewhere in Piscataquis County, Maine.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1844 and closed  in 1904.
