Indiana Historical Records Survey, Directory of Churches and Religious Organizations in Indiana (1940–41) — FamilySearch Catalog record 150928; HathiTrust record 000880870
The settler the plan named for this section's mid-century state turns out, on inspection, to be a narrower instrument than its name promises — and the correction is a finding. The directory's published set has no St. Joseph County volume: its volumes run Marion County; the Calumet region; and "Northern Indiana" in denominational slices only — part 1, Adventist and Mennonite bodies; part 2, Methodist bodies and the YWCA. A Roseland congregation of any other body — Brethren, Baptist, Catholic, Presbyterian — would not appear in it even if it existed in 1940–41, and the one congregation the township ever had was Brethren, a body the set does not cover. The directory's page text could not be read (its HathiTrust full view stands denied, and the denial was honored, not retried), so no entry is quoted and none is invented: the Methodist slice could still speak to a Methodist presence, and its read stands open as a named gap (G-RL-1) with its exact settlers — the FamilySearch film (1036694, Item 3; DGS 7955871) or member-institution access to the HathiTrust copy. What the directory test settles is the instrument: for this county, the federal directory of 1940–41 cannot prove a negative for the town, and this build does not ask it to.
