Do you know of Pentacost ???

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

Our sources for Pentacost (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 Pentacost other than they indicate that Pentacost would be found somewhere in Lenawee County, Michigan.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1887 and closed  in 1929.
