The county record at its carriers' strength; the township experience tested and not found
The branch pass runs at county strength because the township record does not carry its own toll. The county's sickly season is a first-hand county memory: the 1875 atlas records that "the year 1838 was especially noted for great mortality… not enough well ones to care for the sick" — Clay Township was then nine years settled, and no carrier reached allocates that mortality to this township or any township; none is allocated here. The 1918 influenza pandemic carries county figures at their carrier's strength — 185 county deaths, of which South Bend 152 (the Notre Dame Magazine carrier, as the sibling builds read it) — and the remaining thirty-three are allocated to no place, here or anywhere in this build, by standing rule; the township's own 1918 experience stands as a named gap (G-WAR-10), its settlers the township columns of the county press for October–November 1918. Cholera left no township case in any carrier reached — the county's 1854 file belongs to Notre Dame ground and another build. COVID-19 closes the branch the way it closed for every small place in the county sequence: county-official figures exist, no official carrier publishes a township figure, and the gap is the finding.
