History of Wayne County, Ohio, published 1910 names this settlement in its chapter on Chester Township. These are the passages that mention it, exactly as the scans read.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 5 fires within 5 miles of Lattasburg between 2019 and 2020, burning about 1 acre 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.

The most recent of them, most recent first, with the day each was reported and the service that recorded it.

Settlements close enough to share some of these fires:

• Pleasant Home
• New Pittsburg
• West Salem

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 175 specimens collected within 10 miles of Lattasburg between 1897 and 1973: 125 Animalia, 50 Plantae. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by A C ALLEN, Bruce, J. A., Collector(s): Woodrow W. Goodpaster and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
