The county history of 1882 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

Museums hold 3,006 specimens collected within 10 miles of Otterbein between 1878 and 1975: 2,834 Animalia, 116 Fungi, 55 Plantae, 1 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by 14529, A Schwartz, A. J. Mix 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.
