What happened here
An account from the chapter on Staunton township, in the words of 1880.
The War Of 1812
During these times, the early settlers of Lost Creek Township were not wholly without fear. The outbreak of the seoond war with Great Britain was calculated to seriously interfere with their repose. The Indians were not far distant, and more than once, the pioneer and his little family cowered, as it were, in the shadows of the tomahawk.

Collected by A V DEL, A. Gaufin, A. R. Gaufin 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.
