Do you know of Glen Summit Springs ???

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

Our sources for Glen Summit Springs (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 Glen Summit Springs other than they indicate that Glen Summit Springs would be found somewhere in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1905 and closed  in 1908.
