Completeness — What Was Swept, What Remains, and the Detached Rows

The exact page text, read by your browser's voice.

Per-band counts: to 1869 — 16; 1870–1889 — 59; 1890–1909 — 8; 1910–1929 — 21; 1930–1949 — 0; 1950–1989 — 6; 1990–present — 3; Undated — 6. Total: 119 linkages. The founders-and-CEOs cross-check was run against the banked People and Famous files: Dick Grove and Richard W. Mangus are rostered above; the Huggart settlers stand as farm operators; no other founder of a firm is named in those files.

The name-detached rows — listed whole, so the loss is auditable. The 1875 Atlas was read in its text layer and the ldsgenealogy transcription only; its page images were not examined, and every row whose name the scrambled columns detach therefore stands unrostered: the Proprietor of the Forrest Hotel (nativity St. Joseph Co., settled 1833); the Saloon Keeper (St. Joseph Co., settled 1843, Sec. 35); Postmaster and Merchant (Stark Co., Ohio, settled 1853, Sec. 35); Merchant, twice (Secs. 34/35, settled 1846); Dealer in Dry Goods, Boots and Shoes, Groceries, etc. (St. Joseph Co., settled 1841, Sec. 35); Blacksmith (Chautauqua Co., N.Y., settled 1852, Sec. 1); Farmer and Blacksmith (Stark Co., Ohio, settled 1853); Butcher and Farmer (St. Joseph Co., settled 1846, Sec. 35); Boot and Shoe Manufacturer (settled 1868, Sec. 34); Farmer and Broom Manufacturer (Somerset Co., Penn., settled 1858, Sec. 36 — arrival year conflicts with Chapman's Daniel J. Fisher, 1855, and the attachment is not made); Farming and Milling (Randolph Co., settled 1858, Sec. 35); Farming, Milling, and Steam Saw-Mill (Akron, Ohio, settled 1854, Sec. 34); Farmer, Undertaker, and Justice of the Peace (Warren Co., Ohio, settled 1836, Sec. 32). The Forrest Hotel's proprietor is name-detached and not rostered — the Atlas page images are the named settler, and Businesses's hotels article carries the same gap from the house's side.

The unswept residue, named: the intervening Polk editions, 1890–1915, and every Polk edition after 1916–17 (the settler for the 1890–1909 thinness, the 1930–1949 emptiness, the first franchise point, and the Kloppenstein succession); Sheneman's Southern St. Joseph County (2004), unread in any pass; the Lakeville Standard run, unread in any pass; the bank's own records at officer strength (no president/cashier of charter No. 516 at any date — directors only, January 1925; the final liquidation outcome; the exact KeyBank branch closing date) — settlers in Banks and More Businesses; the Chapman/Howard business passages at page-image strength (the garbled names flagged in the bands — Shidler/Shiddler/Shideler, Van Lieu/Van Liew/Van Leiw, Thayer E. D. against Elisha, F. Shater, "How"); the Indiana corporation filings for Hoosier Tire & Rubber Corp.'s present status; and the Indiana ATC permit database for the modern alcohol negative. The counts in this roster will change if those classes carry linkages the swept record missed — the roster prints as the record reached, not as the record complete.
