I've been trying to find another photo of Henry Lanser, and I'll note that Baseball Reference incorrectly has him as Henry Lauser. Lanser played for Danville in 1885, Charleston and Denver in 1886, Akron and Sandusky in 1887, Hamilton in 1889, McKeesport and Erie in 1890, Erie and Elmira in 1891, Montgomery in 1892, and Norfolk in 1894. He was from Cincinnati, and as best I can tell died there in October 1933.
Lauser played for Lebanon PA at least in 1889 and 1892. I think he was from that area.
Update: The player for Lebanon was Luther Louser (b. Oct 1869 per 1900 Census). He was a local who played for clubs from Lebanon for a range of years in the late 1880s and early 1890s. His obituary was published in the Lebanon Daily News on January 14, 1902 (pg 1). He died January 13, 1902 at the age of 34.
