The chapter covers the township.

evidence. Museums hold 1,339 specimens
collected within 10 miles of Congregational Church Of Austinburg between 1872 and 1975: 1,169 Animalia, 145 Plantae, 23 Fungi, 1 Unrecorded, 1 Chromista.
12 distinct Species records are shown.
Collected by A. A. Bill, A. B. Fuller, A. Burhanna 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.

Austinburg, the town this property stands in, in 11 storm reports between 1996 and 2018: 5 hail, 4 thunderstorm wind, 2 flash flood.
No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
Heavy rainfall of 2 to 4 inches fell in an east-west line across Ashtabula County just north of Jefferson. Several flooded basements were reported due to high creek flows, and multiple roads in the area were closed due to high water, including State Route 306 northwest of Jefferson.

When this property was proposed for the
National Register, someone wrote the case for it: what the building is,
and why it matters. That document is a federal record in the public domain.
It is quoted below word for word, never summarised. The text was read off the scanned case file by machine, so the
occasional stray character is the recogniser's and the 1970s
typewriter's.
