Famous People — Roseland, Indiana
The sweep — no name of national fame at searched strength
Searched Pass R-2: the reference record whole; notable-people and born-in registers; category listings
No person of national fame is born, raised or formed in Roseland, Indiana, on the record searched. The reference article for the town carries no notable-people section and names no person as born, raised or formed here — its sections are geography, demographics, government and education, and its only outgoing pointer is a trail. The notable-people searches, the born-in registers across the screen, broadcast, business, political and military sets the checklist names, and the category listings return no Roseland, Indiana name.
The negatives roll — names that are not this town's
Tested Pass R-2; printed where a reader looks for them
Three classes of names surface under "Roseland" and fail, each for a stated reason. The aggregator names: Bessie Coleman, Muddy Waters and Ida B. Wells-Barnett, asserted for this town by an automated local-facts page, belong to other Roselands' histories — the claim is tested and quarantined in the stories file. The university set: the famous names of the Notre Dame country a mile east — the coaches, players and presidents of the university — are the Notre Dame and South Bend files' people; no reached carrier ties any of them to Roseland as their place, and a Roseland street address or the shared 46637 ZIP on a business listing is an address, not a person. The surname collision: the county's one Ullery of print — Ira M. Ullery, the South Bend bank teller with a full biographical sketch in Howard's second volume — is of the German and Warren township family, not of this town, and stands in the long-tail's tested negatives so that the name is not promoted across the township line. What the town does hold, it holds in the people register: a founding grocer, a flag's designers, a clerk who kept forty years of the town in scrapbooks, and a line of officers — local weight, exactly stated, which is the fame a town of 854 honestly has.
