History of Wayne County, Ohio, from the Days of the Pioneers and the First Settlers to the Present Time, published 1878; History of Wayne County, Ohio, published 1910 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. The federal wildfire occurrence database lists 8 fires within 5 miles of Pleasant Home between 2019 and 2020, burning about 2 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.

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:

• Lattasburg
• West Salem

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 126 specimens collected within 10 miles of Pleasant Home between 1897 and 1973: 88 Animalia, 38 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.
