REGISTER · each gap with its settling source

What this section could not settle, named with what would settle it: GAP-W-FOD-1, the grocery succession whole — from Stephens & Grider through the LaFeber store to the Walkerton Market's opening and closing; settlers: the Polk and city-directory runs and the Independent's advertisement columns across the Hoosier State Chronicles run. GAP-W-FOD-2, the Keystone Creamery's course beyond its April 1892 start-up; settlers: the gazetteer runs and the Independent file of the 1890s. GAP-W-FOD-3, the Walkerton Burger Dairy's own dates — its opening and closing; settlers: the directory runs and the Independent-News file. GAP-W-FOD-4, the tavern succession after 1880, named in the saloons article; settlers: the Polk runs, the excise record, the Independent's advertisements. GAP-W-FOD-5, the Walkerton Milling Co.'s course — operating in 1901 at the market report's strength; its founding, its mill's site and its end unsettled; settlers: the Sanborn sheets and the gazetteer runs. GAP-W-FOD-6, the two hotels of Chapman's 1880 count — answered from this build's own record: the Businesses leg identifies both houses from the same record — Giberson's Walkerton Hotel (the Florence House, "the very fine house") and the Empire House, John W. Kirtsinger proprietor by 1880; their tables remain with the gazetteer runs and Chapman's full Lincoln Township text. The market report's full weekly series is named in its article as the price record's settler.
