Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. Museums hold 219 specimens
collected within 10 miles of Kilgore Union Presbyterian Church between 1896 and
1975: 179 Animalia, 36 Plantae, 4 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown.
Collected by A.W. Cusick, Allen, E. J., Ash, G. (Gail), Buchanan, F. W. (Forrest W.) & Trautman, M. B. (Milton Bernard) 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.

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.
