This book does not mention the Lathrop house or UGRR activities in Sylvania. It does mention Laura Haviland's experience in Sylvania when the residents tried to stop a train carrying a runaway slave by tearing up the tracks. Charles Lindquist suggests that the event happened in the 1830's. This book is a good model for writing, discovering anti-slavery activities and I recommend it.
