THE RECORD AS IT STANDS · NOVEMBER 2026
What this section could not settle is named, with the source that settles each item:
TESTED NEGATIVE — a zoo on this ground (rows #613–#626, Osceola halves). Searched: the twenty-eight banked fragments whole (the audit's full-text search: no zoo article, test or mention); the parks and fairground record; the AZA list, November 2026. Each founding mechanism was tested separately; each is negative.
GAP-ZOO-OS1 — Potawatomi fire and escape record beyond the file reached.Settler: the Tribune archive at full-text strength (St. Joseph County Public Library; Hoosier State Chronicles).
GAP-ZOO-OS2 — The PHM field-trip roll by school and year, for Moran Elementary. The zoo's course, entrance and 2026 rates are documented; no PHM publication reached names Osceola classes' trips by year, and the zoo publishes no attendance by school. Settlers: PHM newsletters and board record; the zoo's group-admissions record.
GAP-ZOO-OS3 — Leeper Park's closing (1912 vs 1914) and the Cat House year (1936 vs 1940). Both conflicts print whole above, as South Bend's file leaves them; South Bend's whole to settle. Settlers: park board minutes and annual reports; the Tribune of 1912–1914 and 1936–1940.
