Do you know of Saint Wendel ???

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

Our sources for Saint Wendel (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 Saint Wendel other than they indicate that Saint Wendel would be found somewhere in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1879 and closed  in 1902.
