FOUR CLASSES · RUN NOVEMBER 2026

A negative is only as good as the classes named behind it, so the classes are named here in full. First, the searchable newspaper record: the South Bend Tribune, the paper of record for St. Joseph County, as openly indexed and searchable — the Tribune's own site search and the open web index of its pages — run under every synonym in art-70-3, against Osceola, Penn Township, Mishawaka and St. Joseph County. Second, the court record: reported Indiana state and federal case law, searched through CourtListener and the Justia reported-opinion index, for Indiana decisions under the subject's names and synonyms, and for any case naming Osceola, Penn Township, Mishawaka or St. Joseph County in this category. Third, the directory record: the gazetteer and directory evidence for this ground — Polk's Indiana gazetteer entries for Osceola (1884–85 and 1916–17, transcribed whole in the banked businesses fragment and run again in the Hotels & Motels addendum) and the openly searchable county directory record — in which a licensed or advertised club would appear under its own name or under a trade heading, and in which no club or social-club entry for this subject appears on the ground. Fourth, print and broadcast sources: the published ordinance and code record of the town and the county, and the openly indexed print and broadcast record of the county, run under the same synonyms. No class was skipped and no class was searched under one name only. What each class returned is printed in the articles below, class by class, in full.

That limit is a limit of the open record, and it is the same limit the closing honesty line states.

Sources: the classes as described, run November 2026; banked businesses fragment for the gazetteer transcriptions.
