History of Fayette County Ohio, published 1914 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 1 fire within 5 miles of Shady Grove in 2002, burning under an 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.

Regional context, not property-specific evidence. Museums hold 11 specimens collected within 10 miles of Shady Grove between 1882 and 1972: 4 Fungi, 4 Plantae, 3 Animalia. 7 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Kellerman, W.A., Lloyd, C.G., Murphy, William 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.
