My book says that Bronson was an alternate name for Losantville. It apparently came from the name of a railroad official, as a railroad station called Bronson was established about three-quarters of a mile south of the original site of Losantville. Nancy

Incidentlally, Losantville's claim to fame was that it was the only town in the United States with that name. I don't know if that is still true and have never checked on this claim. Billy

That is where I have seen it listed, Nettle Creek Township along with Losantville and Modoc Census records 1900 and 1930. It is not listed on the maps that I have though, I looked on the Railroad Map of Indiana and it is not on that either.

I found some of my ancestors living in Bronson Town. I haven't been able to find that town on any Randolph Co. map. Does anyone know where it was located? It had to be in the lower portion as most of my family came from Nettle Creek and White River twps. Thanks!
