No aircraft accident in Roseland or Clay Township was found, and the famous one that looks like it is a different town. Searches for Roseland, Indiana aircraft accidents returned only Roselawn, Indiana — a different place in Newton County, the site of American Eagle Flight 4184, an ATR 72 that crashed on 31 October 1994 with 68 killed, under NTSB reports AAR-96/01 and AAR-96/02. The disambiguation is printed so it is not imported: Roselawn is not Roseland. Searches for Granger, Indiana accidents returned no Granger-place accident — the hits were a pilot surnamed Granger and accidents in Bloomington, Gary, Shelbyville and Kokomo, none in Clay Township — and the known South Bend fatal crash in the secondary coverage, a Beech Premier in March 2013, was in the city of South Bend. The negative rests on web-search indexing of NTSB records rather than on a completed CAROL place-query form, and its strength is moderate for that reason; the form query is registered as gap G-AIR-4. No Clay Township exhibition or first flight was found. The county's first flight belongs to South Bend's file anyway: René Simon's first successful airplane flight in St. Joseph County, on 10 September 1911, at a field near Ironwood and Dragoon Trail.
