2021–2025 · BOTH NAMED SETTLERS READ; THE NAMES STAND UNMERGED

The set's one as-of defect (DF-NC-1) is a given name, and this section read both of its named settlers at their pages — they do not settle it. The town's own minutes, Special Meeting of 17 March 2021, record the act precisely: "Vice President Kauffman moved to hire Brent Croymans as a full-time officer on our department," carried 4–0, President Samantha Rush presiding, Susan I. Moffitt attesting as Clerk-Treasurer — a hiring as an officer, not as marshal. The town's minutes of 10 September 2024 style him "Marshal Brent Croymans." The state's salary record — the Indiana Gateway / State Board of Accounts compensation record the banked set dug — names a Richard B. Croymans, Chief Deputy in 2021–2023 and Marshal in 2024–2025. No record reached by any pass equates Brent with Richard B.: they may be one man under a used name and a legal name, or two men of one family on one department, and the record as it stands prints both forms because it cannot choose between them. This addendum records the candidate in its note; it does not resolve it, because resolution by assertion is the one verdict a claims leg may not give.
