Gold Star Honor Roll (Indiana Historical Commission, 1921), St. Joseph County section, swept whole in full transcription; the county framework at the sibling builds' strength
The test was run against the whole county roll. The state's Gold Star Honor Roll (Indiana Historical Commission, 1921) records the Hoosiers who died in the service in 1914–1918, classified by the county in which they had lived. Its St. Joseph County section stands re-counted by a sibling pass at 109 county dead — 102 full entries and 7 more under the volume's own head for names "for whom complete records could not be obtained," the recount's method stated in that pass's note.zero times; no entry carries a Clay Township residence; the only township named anywhere in the section is Green Township, in a birthplace line. The seven incomplete-records names carry Mishawaka (four) and South Bend (three) residences — not one is this town's. At the strength the county record carries, then, Clay Township and Roseland have no name on the county's Gold Star roll; the finding is the sweep, with its method, and the page images of the 1921 volume (county section at pp. 571 ff.) are the settler for page-image strength (G-WAR-6). The draft machinery that fed the roll ran at county scale — South Bend's two divisions, and a separate county board for the county outside the city divisions (the machinery proven in the sibling builds from the South Bend News-Times of 14 July 1917, read whole) — and the township's home front, its loans and drives at township size, stands as a named gap (the county organizations' figures print whole and unmerged in the sibling builds and are not re-carried here).
