Homecomings: tested negative
Web-record searches for 1919 and 1945–46, method stated
No welcome-home record for this town was found. The searches were run for both homecoming generations — 1919, when the town was three years incorporated and had no village past behind it, and 1945–46 — and returned other places' celebrations only: Indianapolis's Welcome Home Day, Evansville's, Kendallville's. At web-record strength the negative stands, with its settlers named for the pass that owns the town's civic memory whole: the South Bend Tribune's 1919 and 1945–46 files and the public library's local-history holdings (G-MEM-8).
