C52–C61 in the build's register; C1, C5, C9/C47, C11 carried
The register's own conflicts append to the build's register unrenumbered in their facts and numbered here in its sequence. C52 — Woodward's News founding date. Howard Vol. 2's Woodward biography, as transcribed: "In 1895 Mr. Woodward located in North Liberty and established the North Liberty News. It made its first appearance on the 23d of March, 1905." Against it: the same entry's own 1895 locating; Howard Vol. 1 and the sources settlement, founded 23 March 1895; the Nomination's 1895. The "1905" is most plausibly a transcription or print slip for 1895 — and is printed whole as a conflict, not silently corrected. Settler: the Vol. 2 page image for pp. 1029–1030. C53 — Liggett / Leggett. Chapman: Joseph Liggett (1836 arrival; 1837 organiser). Howard: Joseph Leggett (b. 1835, brought at age one, seventy years in the township). Same arrival shape, same township, same longevity; the spellings differ between the two bedrock histories and are printed unmerged. Settler: page images of both passages, then a land-record signature. C54 — Early / Earley, and Summons / Simmons. Howard's Kane entry marries Ella to Charles Earley, trustee; Howard's Isaac Early entry names the eldest son Charles Early; Chapman spells the family Early throughout. And Chapman's Isaac Early entry gives his mother as Mary Summons; Howard's gives Mary (Simmons) Early. Both differences printed whole; this class is exactly the AI-transcription-risk class. Settler: page images. C55 — Steel / Steele. Chapman: Jeremiah Steel, George Steel. Howard: Steele throughout. Same man on the facts; spelling differs. Settler: page images, family signatures in land records. C56 — Houser Bros. dates. Chapman's narrative: 1875, the Houser Bros. erected their present sawmill. Chapman's biographies: C. D. Houser located at Colemans in 1873 and with his brother purchased the saw-mill; D. W. Houser entered manufacturing in 1872. Three dates for the firm's start across one chapter. Settler: page images first; a contemporary deed or newspaper notice would settle the purchase year. C57 — Jacob D. Row: arrival and enlistment. Arrival May 1861 (Chapman; Howard's William C. Row entry) against 1859 (Howard's Albert O. Row entry). Service: Chapman, "drafted in September, 1864"; Albert O. Row's entry, his father "became a member of a company at its organization." Settler: the compiled service record and the 1860 census. C58 — Edmund G. Geyer's arrival. Howard gives the family's arrival in the township as 1850, Edmund's birth as 16 December 1866 in Dearborn County, and his age at becoming a county resident as eight — the three statements do not reconcile on their face. The reading that 1850 is the family line's date and eight years Edmund's own is not printed as fact; the conflict stands as reached. Settler: page image, then census. C59 — Bauders / Borders. Howard's William Newcomer entry gives his wife as Sarah Bauders in the marriage line and spells the mother's maiden name Borders in the W. F. Newcomer portion. Settler: page image. C60 — The Lammedee second marriage. Howard dates it 25 November "following" Lydia's death on 6 July 1895 in one passage and 25 November 1896 in a later one. Settler: page image. C61 — Samuel Williams's children. Chapman's narrative lists Geo. W., Jerre, and Elizabeth; his biography lists Jeremiah, Lizzie, and George W. as living. A name-form variance, printed whole; both forms stand and neither is "fixed."
Carried whole from the earlier passes: C1 (the plat dedication), C5 (the May-1837 organisation wording), C9/C47 (the first-settler usages — John Rupel "first settler in Liberty tp." in his son's biography, David Rupel "second permanent settler" in his own, against the 1833 four of the narrative; all usages printed in this section's entries, none crowned), and C11 (the Waldsmith gristmill-builder claim, carried at claim strength in George Waldsmith's entry).
