The open-questions ledger, I: the town's names, seats, and schools

EACH QUESTION WITH ITS SETTLER · THE FULL REGISTERS STAND IN THE LEGS' CLOSING ARTICLES

The ledger discipline: every unsettled question in this build already stands in its own leg's closing article with its settler named; this ledger carries the questions that cross legs, outrank their legs, or settle other towns' questions with them. The civic set: (1) The town's name-giver (GAP-W-NAME-1): John Walker in Howard, James H. Walker in the town's own History page as the scholarly carriers transmit it, a third telling in the same carriers — three tellings, no verdict; settler: the town page at its own seat (the Wayback capture) behind the county's early land and railroad records. (2) The Ward 2 general-election result (GAP-WKGOV-1): the primary is Clerk-grade and printed (Reese's loss; his service ends December 31, 2026); the general result rides on the carriers until the Clerk's certified summary posts — the same document that settles Granger's and Osceola's open government lines. (3) The school corporation's formation (GAP-WKSCH-1), expressly unsettled — no instrument, order, or contemporary account of the John Glenn corporation's formation was reached — with the unexploded "PLJ" reference riding beside it; settler: the corporation's and the county's records. (4) The two Christopher Winchells: the township-board member-elect and the school superintendent bear one name, and identity between them is not established in any record reached; the build prints them as two office-holders and flags the question rather than merging the men; settler: the corporation's and the township's own biographical records. (5) The Ira W. Place identity item, carried from the Businesses pass: Howard's agriculturist and the absconded 1925 trustee share a name and a county, and identity is not asserted; the item stands flagged to this build's depth audit, which owns the delta, and nothing in print depends on it.

Principal sources: the closing articles of the Story of Walkerton section, Government and Schools sections; the W-6 identity flag for item (5).
