Glass It looks like you have it located correctly. It is still shown on the county maps. According to one map, Clarion is located at the intersection of SR 124 and County Road 26 and Township Road 25. That is about 3.5 miles west of Wilkesville on SR 124. Two other maps show Clarion about a half mile north of 124 on Township Road 25 (it runs between SR 124 and County Road 9). I think this is more correct. ======================================== Charles R.

The road is called Clarion Rd. and it starts on St.Rt.124. It is about a half mile from the main road. It used to have a railroad stop and many people used to live there. The building fell into disuse and fell down some time ago. If you look on the right you can see the train stop, where it used to stop for water. The road ends at Hawkes.
