NAMED GAPS GAP-W6-1 – GAP-W6-9 · BOUNDARIES · IMAGES
GAP-W6-1 — the private-bank era. No banking house or private banker is named for Walkerton between the first store (1854) and the Commercial Bank's suspension (1893), and the Commercial Bank's own organization date and post-1893 fate are unrecovered. Settler: the auditor of state's annual bank statements, 1854–1903 (the chain banks filed there by law), with the secretary of state's corporation records.
GAP-W6-2 — the two state banks' ends. The Farmers State Bank's closure (February 28, 1930) is fixed by the bank-runs compilation; the State Bank of Walkerton's disposition after its February 26, 1930 suspension — receivership, liquidation, or a resumption the record read does not show — is not. Settler: Indiana Department of Banking / Department of Financial Institutions annual reports, 1930–1934, and the Walkerton Independent of February–April 1930 (Hoosier State Chronicles).
GAP-W6-3 — the Wyatt branch's opening. The Farmers State Bank of Wyatt's Walkerton Branch is attested January 1964 and August 1982 and descends to 1st Source by the merger of June 19, 1992 (FDIC History); its opening date, and with it the length of the town's bankless years after 1930, is unrecovered. Settler: the Independent's 1930s–1950s runs (Hoosier State Chronicles) and the Wyatt bank's own charter file (Indiana DFI).
GAP-W6-4 — the Rogers flour mill. Founding, seat, capacity and closing of the town's flour mill (Rogers & Son 1882; Rogers Bros 1884) are unrecovered; no later source read names it.Independent's files, and the Sanborn fire insurance maps of Walkerton (Library of Congress).
GAP-W6-5 — the pickle works after 1916. Atwood Brothers' course after the 1916 canvass — end, sale or successor — and the Heinz salting station's closing are unrecovered. Settler: the Independent runs; the secretary of state's business register; the Sanborn maps.
GAP-W6-6 — the franchise record between the canvasses. No automobile franchise is named for Walkerton between Apple's unnamed-make garage sales of 1916 and Williams Supply's Studebaker point of 1951; the trade's war-years course and any Ford, Chevrolet or other point in those decades — including the house, if any, behind the "1950 Ford Dealership Award" plaque consigned at a modern Walkerton auction (a lead, printed as a lead) — are unrecovered. Settler: the Independent's advertising columns, 1916–1960; the Ford dealer registers (The Henry Ford, Accession 387, dealer registers 1905–1924).
GAP-W6-7 — the DFI statement page.Settler: that report read whole (Indiana Memory, Department of Banking reports).
GAP-W6-8 — the Community State Bank line. The Independent-News of August 5, 1982 mentions festival acts using "the parking lot of Community State Bank in the same block." Community State Bank was a North Liberty house (organized May 1, 1943; FDIC certificate 15942) — the festival item's ground, Walkerton or North Liberty, is not fixed by the text reached, and no Community State Bank office in Walkerton is printed in this section. The item and the bank belong first to the North Liberty build; settler: the full August 5, 1982 article and the North Liberty bank's branch record.
GAP-W6-9 — Plas/Steel and Polygon. The two composites houses print as two records (1973 and 1949–present); any corporate continuity between them is unproven in the record read. Settler: the secretary of state's corporation files for both names.
Boundaries. A dealership, bank or firm seated outside the town limits is that build's at pointer size here: D. W. Place's house was a South Bend firm keeping a Walkerton branch, and is printed at branch strength; the Heinz salting station was a station of a national house and prints as a station; the Farmers State Bank of Wyatt was Wyatt's bank, printed at branch strength for its Walkerton years and at pointer strength for its Wyatt course; North Liberty's mill-machinery house (the Home Manufacturing Company) is North Liberty's whole, and only its machinery's move to Walkerton is printed here. The Walkerton of Leslie Motors, Harriston — Walkerton, Ontario — is a different town on a different continent's record, and nothing of it is in this section. Claims tested and failed: no elevator is named for Walkerton in any source read (Chapman's "grain depot," Henderson's "lumber and grain," Holser's "grain, wool and poultry foods," and Piowaty's onion "storage" are the whole of it, and none is an elevator); no tannery and no market house is named for the town in any source read, though both belong to the first-forms layer of a town of this age; no bank robbery, national bank, building-and-loan or credit union seats here on the record read (Crime carries the robbery negative whole).
Images. None for this section. No image was located in the record used whose rights basis the record itself states; the Walkerton Area Historical Society's cut-glass exhibit holds photographs of the Central Cut Glass works whose rights terms are the society's to state, and they ride the photo pass on that statement.
