THE RECORD AS IT STANDS · NOVEMBER 2026
What these two sections could not settle is named, with the source that settles each item:
GAP-W10-F1 — The 1900 exposition's whole record. One advertisement (Independent, April 20, 1901) documents the Walkerton exposition of fall 1900, its judging and its first prize in seed corn. Its program, grounds, premium list, organizers, and whether it ran in other years are not in the record reached. Settlers: the Walkerton Independent's full run for the autumns of 1899–1902 (Hoosier State Chronicles; the society's microfilm).
GAP-W10-F2 — The state-fair names. No Walkerton or Lincoln Township exhibitor, exhibit or committeeman at the Indiana State Fair is named in the record reached; the test is unrun at name strength, not negative. Settlers: the state fair's premium books read whole (the sibling builds' instrument); the Tribune's fair reporting (St. Joseph County Public Library; Mishawaka-Penn-Harris Public Library).
GAP-W10-F3 — The 4-H-era exhibitor share at name strength. The township's club and its 1946 register line are banked; name-by-name exhibitor and auction records for Lincoln Township at the modern fair were not separately read. Settlers: the fair's premium books; the Farmer's Exchange's fair and auction reporting.
GAP-W10-C1 — The Masonic lodge's charter and present state. Walkerton Lodge No. 619 F. & A.M. is documented at press and book strength from before 1907 to October 1986, with named masters and secretaries in 1929 and 1932; its charter date, hall, and survival to the present are not in the record reached, and it holds no line in the register (the Grand Lodge group-exemption pattern). Settlers: the Grand Lodge of Indiana's lodge directory and charter record.
GAP-W10-C2 — The Lions club's course. The register's March 1966 ruling and club number (061255) are banked; the club's charter date, meeting place and continuity to the present are not documented in the record reached. Settlers: Lions Clubs International's club directory; the club's own records; the Tribune.
GAP-W10-C3 — The Historical Society's federal state. The society holds no line in the register read whole; whether it is unincorporated, fiscally sponsored, or exempt under a name the mirror does not carry is unsettled. Settlers: the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search queried by legal name; the Indiana Secretary of State's entity record; the society's own records.
GAP-W10-C4 — The post's street. The register seats Post 189 at "302 Legion St" and a second Legion line at "302 Lakeside Dr"; the town's directory record gives "302 Legion Drive." The three forms print unmerged in the Legion article. Settlers: the post's own records; the county parcel record for the hall's parcel.
GAP-W10-C5 — The chamber pair's course. The Chamber of Commerce (ruled February 1981) and the Walkerton Area Economic Development Corp (ruled March 1989) stand at register size at 612 Roosevelt Road; their officers, programs and present state are not documented in the record reached. Settlers: the Tribune's and the town paper's full text; the Indiana Secretary of State's entity records; the organizations' own records.
GAP-W10-C6 — The Knights of Pythias and G.A.R. courses. Castle Hall Lodge No. 263 and the Jesse Coppie Post, G.A.R., stand at Howard's 1907 book strength; neither order's course on this ground after 1907 is in the record reached, and neither holds a register line. Settlers: the orders' grand-body records; the town paper's full run; Howard's successors and the county histories.
