Lucian Lathrop and plank roads

References to Lucian's involvement with the construction of plank roads and the Toledo Plank Road Company:

"February 8th [1848], the citizens of Richfield, Lucas County, met, with Pliny Sanderson as Chairman, and Oristen Holloway as Secretary, when it was resolved to take $3,000 stock in the Toledo and Indiana Road, provided it pass through that Township, and John G. Klinck was appointed to hold meetings in promotion of the enterprise, and L. B Lathrop, Isaac Washburn and Hoary H. Fuller, as a committee on the location of the Road."

Clark Waggoner also lists "L.B Lathrop of Richfield" as being "prominent in the prosecution of the work" [Plank roads] while discussing the failure of the Toledo Plank Road Company in 1854. ibid, p430
