AUDIT ROW #373 · POLYGON'S FOUNDER CLOSES GAP-W6-9'S LIMB · 1ST SOURCE, EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1, 2025

The modern founders' row closes two names. Walkerton's own: Sam Shobert, who founded Polygon Company in 1949 out of wartime composites work at Wright-Patterson — closing the founder limb of the standing GAP-W6-9 at directory strength, attributed as such, with the firm's Plas/Steel continuity expressly still unproven. The firm's present chiefs were not named in the records reached and stand open under the company's own disclosures, named as settler. The town's banking chief, by branch, changed hands on paper a year ago: 1st Source Corporation's succession took effect October 1, 2025 — Christopher J. Murphy III to Executive Chairman; Andrea G. Short to President and Chief Executive Officer of the corporation and Chief Executive Officer of 1st Source Bank; Kevin C. MurphyThose are the chiefs of the bank whose branch serves this town, printed as of November 2026 at branch strength — the corporation is South Bend's and its whole record is that build's; Walkerton's founders leg claims the succession line and nothing more. The retail-founders limb (the town's own modern shop founders) stands open under the Secretary of State's filings, named as its settler.
