The council-president line: the anchors dug, the line standing

GOV-2 / PEO-3 MIXED · THE STATE BOARD OF ACCOUNTS' SCHEDULES

The checklist asks for the council's presidents from 1877 to the present; the record this section reached supplies the modern anchors and names the archive that holds the rest. The anchors, at audit strength: Karol S. Jackson, President of the Town Council through the audit period January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2019 (State Board of Accounts, Town of Walkerton financial audit, Schedule of Officials — the same schedule that carries Clerk-Treasurer Theresa Buckmaster for the full period, Director of Public Works Jason Cox, and Town Court Judge Daniel P. Chamberlin). Between and behind the anchors, the line runs through records this seat cannot open: the town's minute books from 1877 forward, and the Board of Accounts' own schedule series, which prints each audit period's president in the same form the 2016–2019 schedule uses — the chained settler a future run can walk period by period from the state's online archive back as far as the archive runs, with the minute books carrying the years before it. The succession profiles the companion checklist item asks for — the presidents as people — stand on the same settlers and are not inflated from the anchors alone: two presidents in a decade of record do not make a prosopography, and the item prints its residue rather than its guess.
