Do you know of La Jose ???

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

Our sources for La Jose (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 La Jose other than they indicate that La Jose would be found somewhere in Clearfield County, Pennsylvania.

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