What the record reached does not settle, and what would settle it

GAP-HLT-1 — a practitioner between Chapman and the Clinic: whether any physician, midwife or nurse was seated in Clay or Harris township between the 1880 roll and 1987 is unsettled; the mid-century directory runs were not read whole. Settlers: Goff's History of Harris Township (1980), read whole — the Story of Granger section leg read it only through a trustee's letter; the Polk and Tribune suburban directory runs; the Harris Branch local-history file.

GAP-HLT-2 — the 1918–1920 township toll: the number of influenza and pneumonia dead in the two townships, and whether the district schools closed under the 1918 orders. Settlers: the Indiana State Board of Health's annual reports for 1918–1920; the county death records; the trustee cemeteries' stones as a partial check.

GAP-HLT-3 — the Fir Road campus chronology: the year-by-year building course of the South Bend Clinic's Granger Campus, and the Country Oaks practice's move north. Settlers: the Tribune archive behind the local-history catalogue; the Clinic's institutional history.

GAP-HLT-4 — the boundary campus's opening: the opening date of Beacon's Main Street campus. Settlers: Beacon Health System's institutional record; the Tribune archive.

GAP-HLT-5 — Bittersweet Commons' opening: the Beacon family practice's opening year, and any predecessor practice at the seat. Settlers: Beacon's releases; the county building record.

GAP-HLT-6 — the Fir Road pair's beginnings: the opening years and first licenses of BellTower Health & Rehabilitation and the Hearth at Juday Creek. Settlers: the Indiana Department of Health's facility files 013644 and 012229; the federal provider file's original certification dates.

GAP-HLT-7 — the place's own COVID-19 count: cases and deaths at the designated place's geography. Settlers: the state's archived cases-by-ZIP dataset for 46530, read with the ZIP's shape held in view; the St. Joseph County Department of Health's clinic and vaccination records for the ground-level counts.

GAP-HLT-8 — township TB and polio incidence: any count of the townships' tuberculosis and polio cases in the sanatorium and vaccine eras. Settler: the county health department's annual reports.
