Gold Star Honor Roll (Indiana Historical Commission, 1921), St.
The test was run against the whole county roll. The state's Gold Star Honor Roll (Indiana Historical Commission, 1921) records the Hoosiers who died in the service in 1914–1918, classified by the county in which they had lived. Its St. Joseph County section stands re-counted by a sibling pass at 109 county dead — 102 full entries and 7 more under the volume's own head for names "for whom complete records could not be obtained." For the sibling pass the county section was swept whole in its full transcription: no entry carries a Clay Township residence, and the only township named anywhere in the section is Green Township, in a birthplace line; the seven incomplete-records names carry Mishawaka (four) and South Bend (three) residences. At the strength the county record carries, then, Clay Township — and with it this town, which did not yet stand on the ground as a town on any carrier reached — has no name on the county's Gold Star roll; the finding is the sweep, with its method, and the page images of the 1921 volume (county section at pp. 571 ff.) are the settler for page-image strength. The draft machinery that fed the roll ran at county scale, and the township's home front — its loans and drives at township size — stands as a named gap; the county organizations' figures print whole in the sibling builds and are not re-carried here.
