AUDIT ROW #341 · THE KEYSTONE CREAMERY · A DIG FINDING, BOTH TELLINGS SHOWN
Here are both tellings. Farms & Agriculture records that no creamery is named for Walkerton in Chapman, in Howard, or in the gazetteers (the standing GAP-W6-15 position). Food & Drink records, from the St. Joseph County Independent of April 23, 1892, that the Keystone Creamery "was started up last week" at Walkerton. The reconciliation: Chapman's county history is 1880 and Howard's gazetteer coverage of the town's small industries is partial — a creamery started in April 1892 postdates the first and could escape the second, while the town's own paper, reporting the start-up the week it happened, is the strongest kind of evidence for a small industry's existence. The conflict is nonetheless banked as a delta candidate in the run note — Farms & Agriculture's sentence, as printed, asserts an absence the press record contradicts, and the conform is assembly's. The creamery's later course (its years, hands, and end) is not in this finding: it rides the standing GAP-W-FOD-2, settler the gazetteer and press record after 1892. The article's remaining makers are handled at their standing strengths: the bakery and candy limbs stand where Food & Drink and Businesses put them at directory strength, and no new maker was added — the house-by-house roll is the banked one, with the creamery's existence now settled at its head.
Principal sources: St. Joseph County Independent, April 23, 1892 (the Keystone Creamery start-up), as carried in Food & Drink (GAP-W-FOD-2); Farms & Agriculture (GAP-W6-15), the conflicting telling, both shown; settlers named — gazetteer and press record after 1892 (the creamery's later course).
