ITEMS 1 AND 10 · FROM THE RECIPIENTS' OWN RECORD; VALUATIONS NAMED AS THE RESIDUE
Walkerton's largest documented gifts are not checks but buildings — two of them, both given in this century, both already carrying institutions — and the leg prints them first and whole, with their values stated as the record states them: nowhere. The Hiler gift (2022): the former license-branch building on Roosevelt Road — the town's old BMV seat at 302 Roosevelt Road, closed in the Bureau's 2021 consolidation — was given by the Hiler family to the Walkerton Area Historical Society, becoming the Heritage Museum's third and present home (Arts, "The Heritage Museum"; License Branch, "The building's afterlife"). Donor, recipient, building, and year are documented at the recipients' strength; no purchase price, appraised value, or deed consideration for the gift stands in any record reached, and no restriction on the gift is published. The Frash gift: the Frash family's Michigan Street house, given to the society as a heritage property — the second deed in kind, at the same documentary strength and with the same silence as to value.unpublished, this section's own word for a gift whose size the record keeps to itself. Ranked by the record's shape — the only ranking the evidence allows — these two gifts stand first and second in the town's documented giving: no gift of money or property documented for Walkerton exceeds them in any source reached, and the next articles show why the ranking is short.
