An account from the chapter on Columbus city, in the words of 1858.

The county history of 1858 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

Museums hold 10,371 specimens collected within 10 miles of Sharon between 1804 and 1975: 8,383 Animalia, 1,271 Fungi, 569 Plantae, 117 Chromista, 30 Unrecorded, 1 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by 19 V 1938 in original publication, Knull, =, ? 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.
