Completeness statement: what was swept, and what remains unswept

November 2026

Swept for this roster: the pass's three findings files whole, and through them Chapman (1880) as carried in the earlier passes and the Story of North Liberty section; Howard (1907) as carried in the earlier passes, including the Woodward biography conflict; the 1875 atlas Liberty directory (pp. 94–95) read whole, its business column swept heading by heading; Polk 1880–81 (town list plus the classified Saloons and Distillers lists), 1882–83, 1884–85, and 1916–17 (town list plus the classified Flour & Feed — Retail section); the Commercial District nomination whole, including its c.1886 patrons list, its Sanborn-derived streetscapes, and its 1940 telephone-directory transcription; the 1967 yearbook's sponsor advertisements whole; the town links page whole; the FDIC record and the Federal Reserve carriers; the Palmer and Hydro firms' own published pages; the Schlosser carriers; and the 1943 grain-journal item in snippet only, flagged wherever used. The coordinator's sweep of this build's banked people files (the deep pass's Chapman and Howard biography registers) was run at search strength and added the Aukerman livery lines, Henry Geyer, the Cole, Ragon & Co. firm form, the Comstock House land line, and the Houser sawmill readings — each carried at the strength stated in its place.

Unswept, the roster's named residue: every Polk gazetteer edition between 1884–85 and 1916–17, and every edition after 1916–17 (the 1920s gazetteers are a named settler in the gaps file); the Polk classified headings not separately read within editions otherwise read (Ice Dealers, Laundries, Draymen, Livery Stables, Printers, Coal Dealers — the cheapest settlers in the gaps file); the North Liberty News film run of 1912–1962 at the Walkerton Heritage Museum, the single settler named most often in the gaps file, unread in every pass; Saltzgaber's Genesis of North Liberty (1978), no copy located by any pass, the documented negative standing; Karst's Potato Creek (1980), a shelf copy only; the Chapman and Howard business passages and the 1875 atlas pages at page-image strength, which govern the garbled names flagged in the bands (Hagon/Ragon, Stakestraw/Rakestraw, Kellogg's year, Lec/Lee, the Price and Kilmer initials); the Sanborn sheets read directly (every pass has used the nomination as the worked carrier); the Indiana corporation filings and banking-department reports; the 1943 grain-journal item read whole; the 2022 Comprehensive Plan's business content; and the credit-union locator and bank-locations records at database strength, on which two negatives in the banks file stand at search strength. 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.
