The record claim behind the claims: the book exists, the library holds it, and no catalog reached gives its date. Two independent carriers state the work. The Indiana State Library's county-history guide lists "Now & then, a collection of pictures and stories about Lakeville, Indiana (Jeanne Geyer)", call number 977.201 S143zLg, "copy located in closed stacks" — and gives no date, publisher, place, extent or OCLC, though the same page prints those facts for neighbouring entries. The 2011 plan credits its history narrative "from the book: Now and Then - A collection of Pictures and Stories about Lakeville Indiana" — the title variant printed whole against the Library's form. The claim record prints it so: the work and its author are confirmed at two carriers; its bibliographic particulars stand as a sharpened gap, its settler the title-page verso of the Library's closed-stacks copy. The same pass found no centennial or anniversary volume on any carrier — the 2002 centennial stands documented as an event, not a publication — and the only second published history carrying Lakeville is Franklin N. Sheneman II's Southern St. Joseph County (Arcadia, Images of America, 2004; Library number 977.201 S143sh; ISBN 9780738532929 on the publisher's catalog), county-ground shared with North Liberty and Walkerton, with a modern-era sequel listed by the publisher. Both Sheneman items are carried in the artists file; the plan's own copying of the Geyer narrative — a document that labels itself "DRAFT, June 27, 2011", stating the plan "is not a legally binding document" — is the frame every claim below is read through.
