From the record
“The Washington Cemetery is a historic rural cemetery on the outskirts of the city of Washington Court House in the southeastern part of the U.S. state of Ohio. Established in the mid-19th century, the cemetery was transformed from a typical cemetery into a masterpiece of design during its first several decades.”

Specimens collected near this property
12 of 229 shown
Regional context, not property-specific
evidence. Museums hold 229 specimens
collected within 10 miles of Judy Chapel between 1907 and
1975: 224 Animalia, 3 Plantae, 2 Fungi. 12 distinct Species records are shown.
Collected by Bowles, P. (Pearl), Brubaker, J. A. & Higgins, Brubaker, J. A. & Link, B. 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 Judy Chapel: 1 past producer, 1 producer.
1 still produces. What was taken out: Limestone, General, Stone, Crushed/Broken. Distance is straight-line from the
map coordinates, so a quarry counted here may appear on a neighbouring
settlement's page as well.
No historic map-sheet match is published
for this property yet. That does not mean no map exists. This record needs

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.
