The era ledger: what is proven, what is open

The leg's own record, closed out

Stated by era, so no later hand over-reads it: 1907 — strong. Howard read whole: one township congregation (German Baptist, 1868), none at the future townsite. 1940–41 — open. The federal directory's county coverage is denominational slices that exclude the township's one known body, and its Methodist slice stands unread (G-RL-1); no negative for the town is claimed from it. The present day — moderate-strong. Multi-directory sweep: no congregation at a town address, corroborated by the county church-records file's silence. Two more negatives at their strengths: no parochial school has ever stood in the town (the nearest is Christ the King's, outside it) — a negative at searched strength; and the town’s one candidate church burying ground, Ullery Cemetery, stands inside the town — its placement settled by the land-records pass (R-8) on the boundary record and the ground’s own parcel record (rl-lr8-ullery) — though no present-day church keeping of it is proven, as its own article states. The leg closes where it opened: Roseland is a town that has always gone to church somewhere else, and the record, read whole, says so without embarrassment.
