DF-11: the Gold Star figure of 109 — a recount attempted, and closed as a named gap

The Wars leg prints the county's First World War Gold Star roll at 109 dead, carried from the Granger build's recount (109 = 102 + 7) and expressly “not independently recounted here”; the register names this section wave as the settler for an independent recount, and the attempt is reported exactly. The roll is the St. Joseph County section of the Gold Star Honor Roll (Indiana Historical Commission, 1921) — the county section running in the book's page 560s–590s (a cross-posted entry places a St. Joseph man at page 571) — and a full transcription of the county section stands open-web at GenealogyTrails. This pass located that transcription, confirmed its head (the entries open with Barkley, Cecil Ross, of South Bend, and Baumgartner, Fred M.) and its tail (a closing list of names “for whom complete records could not be obtained,” Adams, Ward Lester of Mishawaka among them — the class from which a recount's marginal names must come), and confirmed from the banked Wars sweep that a text search of the roll for “Osceola” and “Penn” returns no matches.not do is re-read the transcription whole, entry by entry, in a form that permits an honest independent count: the one attempt to fetch the full transcription failed at the tool level, and the search record returns the roll only in excerpts. A count built from excerpts would be theatre, not a recount, and none is printed. DF-11 therefore closes as a named gap: the figure 109 stands exactly as banked — the Granger recount, carried, not independently recounted — and the settler is named in full: the GenealogyTrails transcription of the St. Joseph County roll, or the printed Gold Star Honor Roll (1921) itself, read entry by entry (complete entries and the incomplete-records tail counted separately, the method stated), against the Granger method of 102 + 7.
