GAP-O7-R1: the Osceola Methodist congregation's founding date and its pastor line before 2012 — settlers, the Indiana Conference journals and appointment records, and the church's own archive. GAP-O7-R2: the First Baptist Church of Penn Township's 1849 house site and any burying ground that went with it — settlers, the county deed record for the Galor–Buck trustees' purchase, the DAR cemetery readings, and the page image of Chapman p. 799 for the damaged mileage. GAP-O7-R3: the Bethel Brethren congregation's course — settlers, its own records at the Mishawaka-Penn-Harris Public Library Heritage Center and the St. Joseph County Public Library, and the Northern Indiana District's directories. GAP-O7-R4: the Pleasant Valley Baptist Church's course after 1880 — settlers, the minutes and yearbooks of the Baptist association serving the county's Baptist churches. GAP-O7-R5: Osceola Grace Church's founding and any predecessor seat — settlers, the Charis Fellowship's district records and the church's own archive. GAP-O7-R6: the Tamarack Methodist church's seat (Penn or Baugo Township) and its after-course — settlers, the Elkhart and St. Joseph county deed and conference records. Two negatives stand tested and are printed as findings, not gaps: no Catholic parish seated in the town or township in any record reached; and the "Osceola Methodist Church, founded 1854" history circulating on the web is Osceola, Iowa's, sourced to that town's own centennial newspaper — a namesake, refused here so it is not imported by a later pass.
