The unglamorous source that settles successions. Two state series did the government leg's heaviest modern lifting, and their limits are part of the record. The Indiana Roster of State and Local Officials (editions of 1936–1987 are on the Internet Archive) prints every county's and city's officeholders — but in every volume tried (1943, 1946, 1948, 1949, 1950, 1963, 1983) the Fort Wayne and Allen County tables came down with their pages rotated or their columns detached from their row labels, unusable except once: the Fort Wayne city row of 25 March 1946 (Baals, Adams, Hite, Miller) is the roster's one clean yield here. The Board's audit reports repair the failure: each county and city audit prints a schedule of the officials who served in the audited period, and those schedules — not any published list — settled the sheriff succession for 1999–2006 and anchor the modern end of several other lines. Where the online audit run ends (about 2005 for the county reports), the named route forward is the printed rosters and the post-1945 Polk directories at the ACPL, and the government leg's notes say exactly that.
