AUDIT ROW #285 · MOOSE AND EAGLES AT POINTER SIZE · PRINCE HALL AND KLAVERN TESTS

The twentieth century's two great lodge chains, Moose and Eagles, seat no lodge in Walkerton in the directory and register record as reached; their county homes are the larger towns', at pointer size. The Lions — the service-club form that did take here — stand in the banked register from 1966 and are pointed to, not retold. Two negative tests are printed as tests, as the checklist orders them printed: the Prince Hall test (a Prince Hall Masonic presence on this ground) returns nothing in the records searched — the town's Black community, counted in the population leg at nine to twenty persons across the modern censuses, held no lodge of any obedience that the record carries, and the Prince Hall settler of record is the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Indiana's own lodge roll, named here; and the klavern test — run once, on the same ground as the Black-history leg's Klan-era row, and printed in full there — found no Walkerton klavern in the records reached from this seat, its settler the Tribune's Klan-era files and the Independent's 1921–1925 run. Neither negative is dressed as more than the search that produced it.
