Tested and not entered

The documented negatives

A completeness sweep that only adds names is a press release, not a record. The tests below were run and failed, and they print at the size the failure supports.

A. J. Cronin: the Scottish novelist Archibald Joseph Cronin (1896–1981) is cited in one local listing as carrying a South Bend tie. This pass could find no source documenting any South Bend residence, work, or connection for him — nothing in the standard biographies, which place his life in Scotland, London, and Switzerland, accounts for the citation. The tie stands unverified and he is not entered; the flag remains open, honestly, against the day a document carrying it can be read.

Joseph Mitchell, the justice who was Goshen's: the Indiana Supreme Court's roll contains one more name a hasty sweep might claim — Joseph A. S. Mitchell, justice from 1885 to 1890, who sat in judgment on a dispute over a dam on the St. Joseph River in South Bend. Mitchell was born at Mercersburg, Pennsylvania, and made his lifelong home at Goshen from 1860; a ruling about this city is not a life in it, and he is not entered. The judicial sweep closes, therefore, at exactly the names entered: two justices of the state supreme court — Howard, whose life was here, and Sullivan, who was born here — and one South Bend-born federal judge, Miller, besides the judges the Government and Public Servants records already carry.

The birth-list residue: the aggregator birth lists from which the Famous People pass worked its candidates were re-run; every name on them with a documented South Bend birth or raising is either entered in the two rosters, entered, entered whole in a sibling section and pointed to above, or rejected in the Famous People record itself, whose documented negatives — the broadcaster and the actor the record tested and refused — stand as printed there and are not relitigated here.
