AUDIT ROW #284 · THE PARISH-AND-PAPER RECORD, TESTED FOR AN UNCHARTERED SOCIETY
The checklist's subtlest item — a mutual-aid circle that never took a charter, findable only in a parish profile or an obituary's aside — was tested against St. Patrick's own profile and the town's lodge record, and no such circle appears. The diocesan profile that dates the Knights names the parish's societies and activities at length, and an unchartered circle of the floor instance's kind (a hometown society of immigrants, meeting in a hall, burying its own) is not among them; Walkerton's immigrant mutual-aid ran through its chartered orders and its churches, both of which this build carries whole. Printed as a tested negative at parish-profile strength, with the honest limit stated: an unchartered body is by construction the thing least likely to leave a record, and the item's settler — the Independent's obituary file, read name by name — is named for the residue.
Principal sources: Today's Catholic, December 1, 2017 (the St. Patrick profile's society list); the banked lodge record, whole; settler named — the Walkerton Independent's obituary file.
