The county histories read whole; the DCAS federal files swept whole, November 2026
Roseland has no war record of its own before 1916, because it was not a town until then — and the record does not pretend otherwise. What the ground carries is Clay Township's record, and it is thin in the way a farming township's record is thin: one named Civil War dead man in all three county histories, one settler who died a Mexican War soldier, one War of 1812 veteran who died on the township's ground, and three soldiers sleeping in the Brethren burying ground at the town's northern edge. The federal files of the twentieth century were swept whole, not sampled: this town's Vietnam allocation is zero, dug and proven against the county's fifty-four; its Korea allocation cannot be settled from this section's city field, and the file says why; its Second World War dead cannot be named at official strength from any carrier reached, and that is stated as a fact about the carriers, not about the town. The summit test was run first in the research and stands in its own article below: there is no Medal of Honor recipient of this town, at official-record strength. Every article that follows is the evidence, war by war, at the strength its record carries.
