BOUNDARY · SOUTH BEND PATTERNS TESTED · OSCEOLA'S PAIRS RESTATED AT POINTER SIZE
The inventor-founder (Birdsell pattern).Birdsell stands among the incorporators of the St. Joseph County Savings Bank in 1869 in the Granger banks addendum's Howard reading. His company's whole course belongs to South Bend's build; here he is carried at the pattern's size — named, dated to his bank incorporator line of 1869, and no further. The branch-plant keeper chief (Leighton Pine pattern). Singer's South Bend works — the cabinet plant of the Mishawaka–South Bend Singer record — is the valley's branch-plant type, and its keeper chief stands in the pattern the floor names (Leighton Pine, Singer's man). This pass did not verify Pine's South Bend tenure at first-hand strength from open sources, and his dates are not printed; the pattern is carried as a named entry with its settler — the Singer company record and directory runs — rather than as a dated chief. The paired small-goods founders. The floor's pairs (Badet and Teel; Worden and Kuntz; the lathe twins John J. and Miles W. O'Brien) were tested against this county's directory record as openly reachable: none of the three pairs was verified as a South Bend seated pair in the sources reached, and none is imported.
