1837–1912, as reached
The government file carries the town's officeholding whole; this register cross-points and does not duplicate successions. From the records read: James P. Antrim, Justice of the Peace, elected at the first election, spring 1837. Norman S. Miller, Justice of the Peace (three successive terms from 1857), Township Trustee (1869, seven years), and Postmaster, "appointed by President Lincoln" — all as Chapman prints them. D. W. Reece, Township Trustee. Israel Irvin, first village treasurer of North Liberty, no year given. Del M. Woodward, Justice of the Peace (1898) and board of education (1906). Charles Earley, trustee of Liberty Township at Howard's writing (c. 1907). Leonard Amm, member of the township advisory board. C. Keck, postmaster at Howard's writing. L. W. Pommert, town board president in 1912 — the earliest town-board president reached anywhere.
At county level, the test returns one fact: Rev. Isaac Early served three years as a county commissioner, years not given — the only county-office fact for a Liberty man in either bedrock history as read. William C. Row was deputy surveyor of the county in 1893–1894, a deputyship, not an elective office; Albert O. Row was trustee of Harris Township, another township's office, and is not credited to this town. No state officeholder, no United States officeholder, and no other elective county officeholder was found in the record as reached.
