Papa Charles identified his station as #18 in a report that he gave to the local paper the following year:

A monthly summary of observations will be published for general distribution, in pamphlet form, one thousand to be sent by the Secretary of State to members of the Legislature, and one thousand to persons who may send their address to Prof. T. C. Mendenhall, Director of the Bureau, Columbus, O.
I checked, and found out that Prof. T. C. Mendenhall was Thomas Corwin Mendenhall, for whom Mendenhall Glacier was named. I sort of wonder if there's a Native American name for that glacier, but whether there is or not, TC Mendenhall sounds like an interesting person. Wikipedia says:
Thomas Corwin Mendenhall (October 4, 1841 – March 23, 1924) was an American autodidact physicist and meteorologist. He was the first professor hired at Ohio State University in 1873 and the superintendent of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey (one of the ancestor organizations of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) from 1889 to 1894. Alongside his work, he was also an advocate for the adoption of the metric system by the United States and is the father of author profiling.
