Single carriers · as of November 2026

Three names with one carrier each; the file prints them where a reader looks, at the strength they stand. Otto Leander Kochtitzky (b. 1855) is claimed born in Lakeville, Indiana by a single modern article — a drainage engineer's biography out of Southeast Missouri, where Kochtitzky published his 1903 Map of the Lowland of Southeast Missouri and led the draining of that swamp country; no second carrier for the birthplace was found, and his substantial engineering record waits on Missouri's drainage records, not on promotion here. Ernest Lawrence Dietl (b. 1909) is claimed born in Lakeville by a single aggregator entry (Prabook), an Indiana University M.D. of 1933; no second carrier. Harry Pierpont (1901–1934), the Dillinger gang's "trigger man," touches the town post-mortem only: the Indianapolis Times of 20 October 1934 reports his executed body brought from Columbus to Lakeville, Indiana, where funeral services scheduled that morning "were cancelled unexpectedly," and on to Indianapolis for burial beside his sister — a corpse in transit, entered so the transit is never inflated into a residence.
