What happened here
An account from the chapter on Steubenville township, The inset identifies its exact
source book and publication year.
AWFUL ACCIDENT---One of the most horrible accidents on the Panhandle R.R. for some years occurred near Coshocton Tuesday evening. . . in which WHEELER BURGESS was fatally injured, JOHN CURN and ROBERT DAVIS of THOS. FRITH's crew of stone bridge builders from this city were killed. . . (men were riding on a hand car, overtaken by train, these three had no time to jump from car).
Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. The
federal wildfire occurrence database
lists 8 fires within 5 miles of Central Public School between
2000 and 2015, burning about 3 acres in total. None started naturally. 2 were 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.

Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. Museums hold 516 specimens
collected within 10 miles of Central Public School between 1836 and
1974: 295 Animalia, 179 Plantae, 41 Fungi, 1 Chromista. 12 distinct Species records are shown.
Collected by A. W. Cusick, Allison W. Cusick, BANKS, C S 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.

evidence. The federal mineral resources record lists
5 workings within 5 miles of Central Public School: 4 producers, 1 plant.
All of them still produce. What was taken out: Iron, Zirconium, Sand and Gravel, Construction, Iron, Chromium. Distance is straight-line from the
map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring
settlement's page as well.

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 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.
