AUDIT ROW #419 · PEOPLE.HTML RESIDUE (7) RESTATED · THE WINCHELLS CARRIED UNMERGED

The lines out of the town's office run in three directions, and each is printed in its own discipline. Statehouse: Notable People's residue carries Thomas J. Wolfe with an unexplained "Hon."Federal: the boundary discipline stands as the banked set states it — the town is represented in Congress (Rudy Yakym holds the Second District, per Walkerton Today's 2026 line) by a man who does not live here, and representation is printed as representation, never as residence. The name collision:These addenda carry the two unmerged, everywhere, and print the question open — the merger of two same-named officeholders is precisely the error a public-servants leg must never make on inference.

Principal sources: Notable People residue items (7) and (8), restated with their positions; Walkerton Today (the Second District line), pointed to; settler named — Indiana legislative rosters, 1816–1903 (the Wolfe limb).
