The chapter on St. Charles City in History of Winona County, published 1883 names St. Charles. This is what it says, exactly as the scans read.
The city of St. Charles is located in a triangular valley, through which, on the north side, flows the Whitewater river. This valley has been formed by the erosion and removal of the original layers down to solid magnesian limestone, and upon the bed of that layer the city is located, while upon every side are displayed the precipitous sides of those ancient layers which have remained protected by their cap of solid flags of Trenton limestone, and have withstood the forces of the destroying elements.
The lower Trenton formation here has been described by Prof. N. H. Winchell, state geologist, in the following language : " At a quarry near St. Charles, half a mile south of the city, the lowest portion of the Trenton appears as follows, in descending order: No. 1, hard, crystalline, calcareous layers, ringing under the hammer ; of a light drab color, without shale ; fossiliferous, fifteen feet. No. 2, bluish-green shale, about ten feet. Total, Trenton, twentyfive feet."
Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. The
federal wildfire occurrence database
lists 12 fires within 5 miles of Trinity Episcopal Church
between 1992 and 2008, burning about 6 acres in total. None started naturally. None was recorded as arson.
Distance is straight-line from the map coordinates, so a fire counted
here may appear on a neighbouring settlement's page as well.
