With reference to your question of YOST, the Index only indicates the
surname, but with only a couple pages involved I checked on page 149 there
is made note of a Dr. J. Yost being appointed Master of the Six Mile Lodge
No. 412 Free and Accepted Masons, Hayden, Indiana. Also referencing page
100 it makes mention of J.L. Yost being in the first group of officers of
this same above mentioned lodge. This was organized May 24, 1870. There
was no reference to the names Langford nor Lankford. Hope this helps
somewhat.
Another thought, since you did not mention any years, have you checked the
census records for Jennings County, or possibly the county wherein Hayden
lies just for curiousity? I don't know if Hayden is in Jennings County or
not.

I have been reading your answers to people as they request their
Surnames. You mention that Yost wast was mentioned on page 100 and
149. I am researching the Lankford surname and there was a death of a
young mother and a Yost took the child and raised it. Would like to
know the names of Yosts that where living in Jennings Co. We have
searched and never found any. Apparently we have not been looking the
right place. Thank You
