1900s
- 1900–todayThe country clubs individually, and the public courses stated plainly as public
(The forum record's separate line — a "South Bend Country Club" incorporated 25 January 1900, its course question unresolved against the St. Joe Valley club of the same ground — is printed as it stands, unmerged with the 1916 establishment.)
- 1901–1907The 1901–1902 pair — Drs. Seaman and Proudfit
Dr. J. B. Seaman, born at Clyde, New York, 21 June 1864, graduated from the Medical College of Indiana in 1900, and "in 1901 came to Osceola and entered upon practice"; he married Margaret Morgan on 17 May 1904.
- 1903First public ground — the river, the creek, and the bay before any park
What the settlement used instead was what the Land leg's ground offered: the St. Joseph River's banks, Baugo Creek's course, and, after the dam project the road guides date to 1903 raised Baugo Bay across the old roadbed — the date undated and unproven on the record reached…
- 1903–1969Clubs and ballot institutions: the county's women's organizations at boundary, the Osceola seat tested
The working women's institution that hosted it has the longest line of all: the YWCA of North Central Indiana publishes its own service as running since 1903 in South Bend, serving women across St. Joseph and Elkhart counties…
- 1903–2026Baugo Bay — the town's water, and the fight to keep it
The bay's making in 1903 is The Land's article; its unmaking by sediment, and the town's answer, are this section's closing chapter of the park's history to date.
- 1904–1907The orders founded here, tested: both foundings are South Bend's; none is this ground's
Two orders were founded in this county — in South Bend, not here: the Order of the Owls, a fraternal benefit order founded at the law offices of Talbot and Talbot on 20 November 1904 by John W. Talbot and his associates…
- 1905–2019The public official as memoirist; a national name's newspaper years
The newspaper years belong to Ring Lardner, who worked at the South Bend Times from 1905 to 1907 — society reporter and sports editor in the staff records' telling — and discovered baseball writing there before the national career.
- 1907The Howard generation: the second wave of sketches, 1907
At the boundary of this wave: Amos Williard (pp. 800–801), born in this township 1 April 1862, whose father Emanuel spent three years in Civil War service and still resided in Penn Township in 1907 — Amos's own career (well-drilling, the Dodge works, first chief of Mishawaka's paid fire department) is Mishawaka's…
- 1907The dated lodge census read as orders: Howard's 1907 roster, parsed
Timothy Edward Howard's A History of St. Joseph County, Indiana (1907), vol. 1, carries the county seat's fraternal roster at 1907, and it is parsed here order by order, as the row directs.
- 1907The assessment-insurance alphabet: tents, hives, and camps as a benefit machine
Howard's 1907 South Bend roster seats the machine in triplicate: South Bend Tent No. 1, Knights of the Maccabees ; Pixley Division No. 2, Uniform Rank, Knights of the Maccabees ; and the rival Modern Maccabees' St. Joe Valley Tent No. 1108 — two Maccabee orders in one city, each with its tent numbered.
- 1907–1914The downtown social and athletic clubs, tested: a class this town never had the downtown for
The class is real, and it is South Bend's: Howard's 1907 biographical volumes name the Commercial Athletic Club again and again as the businessman's club of the county seat — Birdsell, Kelley, Neff, Dolph and Summers all carry membership in it beside their Elks, Masonic and Country Club lines…
- 1907–1922Knights of Pythias, whole
Howard's 1907 roster gives the order whole for the county seat, in its three period parts: the subordinate lodge, Crusade Lodge No. 14 ; its uniformed branch, the Uniform Rank, South Bend Company No. 12 ; and the women's temple, Moonlight Temple, Rathbone Sisters No. 255…
- 1907–2023The county home's second life: Portage Manor, and its end
The St. Joseph County Infirmary at 3016 Portage Avenue — 113.8 acres bought in 1905, opened 4 April 1907 — was renamed the St. Joseph County Home under the 1947 state-law changes, licensed in 1966 for 108 residential beds and 12 comprehensive nursing-care beds, renamed Portage Manor in the 1980s after eighteen months…
- 1908–1940The electric system whole: consolidation, the 1917 strike, the jitneys, the fires, the end
The system's whole course, in the order its own history lays it out: CERA Bulletin 132, the Northern Indiana system's history, builds its middle on the decisions of 1908–1910 — "Major Decisions on Electric Power, Consolidation and New Shops" — when the competing lines were gathered into one company and one power and shop plant.
- 1909The official count that names the trade — a named gap, over a tested Osceola absence
For the floor city, South Bend, the quoted manufactures sentence itself could not be retrieved from open sources: the 1909 Census of Manufactures' Indiana tables are not open-web readable to the sentence.
