Do you know of South Stetson ???

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

Our sources for South Stetson (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 South Stetson other than they indicate that South Stetson would be found somewhere in Penobscot County, Maine.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1876 and closed  in 1905.
