The complete chapter on this township from Commemorative Historical and Biographical Record of Wood County, Ohio; Its Past and Present, published in 1897. 68 words, covering 41 settlements. The chapter predates the incorporation of Perrysburg Township and Perrysburg City, so it covers both.

41 settlements

What the federal record holds for each settlement inside this township: wildfires and storm reports since the 1950s, mineral workings, and museum specimens collected nearby. These are counted within a few miles of each settlement, so neighbours share them and the columns are deliberately not added up. Every row links to the settlement's own page, where each figure is broken out.

The chapter

68 words

Reproduced complete and unedited. The text is machine-read from a scan of the 1897 printing, so expect the errors a machine makes reading a century-old page: misspelled names, dropped words, stray characters. Nothing has been corrected, because correcting a proper name invents one. The headings below are the book's own.
