An account from the chapter on Findlay city, in the words of 1903.

The county history of 1903 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

Museums hold 376 specimens collected within 10 miles of West Park between 1883 and 1975: 358 Animalia, 18 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by Auten, CL & LC Hubbs, CLARENCE CLARK 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.
