Specimens collected near this property
12 of 377 shown
Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. Museums hold 377 specimens
collected within 10 miles of Chesterville Methodist Church between 1835 and
1975: 352 Animalia, 18 Fungi, 6 Plantae, 1 Unrecorded. 12 distinct Species records are shown.
Collected by A. P. Morgan, Adler, K. K., Bird, C. 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.
Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. The federal mineral resources record lists
2 workings within 5 miles of Chesterville Methodist Church: 2 producers.
All of them still produce. What was taken out: Sand and Gravel, Construction. Distance is straight-line from the
map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring
settlement's page as well.

Chesterville, the town this property stands in, in 14 storm reports between 1993 and 2024: 7 hail, 4 thunderstorm wind, 2 flood, 1 tornado.
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.
In Morrow County, The Whetstone Creek flooded its banks in Mt. Gilead. The Lee Street apartments in Mt. Gilead were flooded. Seventy-five people in 20 units were affected by the flood waters. Flooding problems were reported along State Routes 95 and 314 in Morrow County, high water on another part of State Route 95 at the Knox-Morrow County line and the Richland-Morrow County line. A farm north of Mt. Gilead had over a dozen horses forced to swim to dry land as the property was inundated.
The tornado began in Chesterville. As the tornado moved southeastward, it crossed Township Road 180 before progressing into Knox County. Numerous trees were uprooted or snapped along the tornado's path. A couple of these trees landed on buildings in Chesterville. The storm survey did not note any specific damage to the buildings. Estimated peak tornadic winds were 105 mph.
Heavy rainfall of 1 to 3 inches over Morrow County on the evening of the 18th resulted in widespread flooding of local and state roads. Those roads include the following; SR 314 and SR 95, SR 314 and SR 229, Road 21, west of SR 314, Road 170 and SR 229, Road 20, east of 21, SR 61 and Road 25.

Named in the fire insurance atlases
Sanborn surveyors printed an index of the
town's establishments at the front of each atlas. This property is named in
one, read straight off the scanned sheet.
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 reproduced in full on its own page, word for word and 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.
