Do you know of Odenthal ???

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

Our sources for Odenthal (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 Odenthal other than they indicate that Odenthal would be found somewhere in Cambria County, Pennsylvania.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1903 and closed  in 1907.
