The test the leg requires first · printed whole
The test is run first because the leg requires it, and its result is negative — for the town, and instructively near it on every side. The Congressional Medal of Honor Society's rolls and the county and state records read for this build attribute no Medal of Honor to any man of New Carlisle or Olive Township, in any war. The near misses define the discipline. Frank Dwight Baldwin, twice decorated, is accredited to Constantine — in St. Joseph County, Michigan, the other county of the same name, and importing him would be the precise error this build exists to prevent. The St. Joseph County, Indiana, recipient in the record is Private Enoch R. Weiss of Company G, 1st U.S. Cavalry, decorated for valor against the Apache in the Chiricahua Mountains and buried in South Bend's City Cemetery — South Bend's man, in South Bend's file. The summit of this township's honors therefore stands where the record puts it: not a medal, but a Legion post named for a private, an unaccounted-for airman, and churchyard stones. That is the finding, printed at the strength of the rolls searched, and it closes the question the leg asks first.
