No first entry for Section 25 is asserted here — because the search that would name it could not be executed, and a non-search is not a negative. The settler of record for the first federal entries on the townsite section — Section 25, Township 38 North, Range 2 East, Second Principal Meridian — is the Bureau of Land Management's General Land Office record. Attempted, its front returned only its loading shell to a text fetch: no search form, no results table, no record detail is exposed, and the patent query therefore did not run. The run stands recorded as unexecuted, with the parameters that must be run standing on the record: patents — state Indiana, county St. Joseph, Second Principal Meridian, Township 38 North, Range 2 East, Section 25 whole, then by aliquot part; and the same township for the survey plat and field notes behind it. Two limits of that system, from the custodians' own guides, print with the want: the GLO site indexes patented or completed entries only — cancelled entries and expired leases are not in it — and the purchase dates live in the state's records, not the patent record.Fort Wayne land-office index firsteast, Range 3 East, not this section, and are not moved across the range line.
