The sweep's confirmations
The sweep re-tested the rolls against the rosters name by name. The names below are documented South Bend people a reader might expect to find entered; each already stands whole in the section that owns the record, and stands here at pointer size so that the sweep's coverage is checkable.
John Brademas (1927–2016) — boundary line: born at Mishawaka on 2 March 1927 and formed in South Bend, whose district he represented in the House for twenty-two years; his record stands whole in the Public Servants section, boundary-printed there in full. Mishawaka's son, South Bend's congressman: the one line here is the pointer, and the life is there.
Regis Philbin (1931–2020) — boundary paragraph: the name readers most often send to this city's roster. Philbin was born and raised in New York City; his South Bend tie is the University of Notre Dame, from which he graduated in 1953, whose football he championed for sixty years, and in whose Cedar Grove Cemetery he was buried after his death on 24 July 2020. He was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame in 2006. Under the rule the Famous People section states for itself — a university man's fame belongs to the university's record, not the city's — his entry stands with Notre Dame's, and this paragraph, printed where readers will look for him, is his size in the city's people record.
The Rev. Michael J. Biro, C.S.C. — the clergy pointer: the People record's open Hungarian item — "no St. Stephen's pastor of record verified" — is closed by the Religion section, which carries the parish record whole: Father Biro organized St. Stephen Parish in 1900 for some sixty Hungarian families at 1102 West Thomas Street; the Rev. Lawrence Horvath served 1916–22, and the Rev. Count Frederick Wenckheim followed. The clergy of record stand in Religion; no duplicate profile is made here.
James A. Kasler and the war heroes: the War Heroes section owns the city's decorated servicemen whole — Kasler first among them — and the re-swept rolls (the Air Force Cross and the medal rolls as that section carries them) return no name it missed. Leon Brazier likewise stands in the War Heroes and Sports records at his documented size.
Eddie Talboom, Jack Counsell, and Joe Hazinski: the College Football Hall of Fame's own roll was read entire against the rosters — fifty Notre Dame players and six coaches, as the Halls of Fame record counts them — and the South Bend sons on it stand entered: Talboom in the Sports Players record as the city's own enshrinee, Counsell and Hazinski in the Sports and Halls records at their documented sizes. The sweep adds no name to the Hall roll and removes none.
Jerry Scott: the cartoonist stands whole in the Authors and Comedy records (Baby Blues and Zits), entered there at his record's size; not duplicated here.
Albert Russel Erskine's birth — settled: the People record carried Erskine's birth year as an open item. The Smithsonian Institution's Studebaker biographies and the Huntsville History Collection agree: Albert Russel Erskine was born on 24 January 1871 at Huntsville, Alabama. The open item is closed; his entry stands in the People section at the size there, and the date is noted here for assembly to carry into it.
