Congressional Medal of Honor Society recipient database, swept whole; U.S. Army Center of Military History, full-text citations
The summit test: is there a Medal of Honor recipient of this city? The Congressional Medal of Honor Society's whole recipient database — every recipient, by entered-service place — was swept: "Roseland" returns zero. At official-record strength, this town has no Medal of Honor recipient, and the leg prints that result whole, as it would print a name. The county's sole accredited recipient stands at pointer: Artificer Joseph A. Nolan, Company B, 45th Infantry, U.S. Volunteers, who at Labo, Luzon, on 29 May 1900 "voluntarily left shelter and at great personal risk passed the enemy's lines and brought relief to besieged comrades" (the Army Center of Military History's citation, read whole; medal issued 14 March 1902). Nolan is a three-places hard case and prints as one: he entered service at South Bend, was born at Elkhart, and died at Niles, Michigan, on 19 August 1921 (secondary strength) — South Bend's build owns him; the one limb that remains at pointer strength only is his resting place, named in the sibling record as Silverbrook Cemetery, Niles, with his individual Society page as its settler (G-WAR-8). Below the summit, the decoration record was tested war by war for this township and the absences state plainly: no decorated serviceman of Clay Township or Roseland is named in any carrier reached for any war — the township's distinction record is service and, in the named cases, death; a name-strength decoration pass stands as a gap (the county's newspaper Service Notes index against the township rosters is its settler class). The women of the record were tested whole on the same carriers: the Gold Star volume's county section carries no Roseland or Clay Township woman, and no woman of this township is named in any war carrier reached — a negative printed whole, at the searches' strength.
