First, the station village itself. Chapman's Harris Township chapter (1880) closes the village's commerce in a sentence: at Granger station "there are a depot and postoffice… no business of any kind is done." Polk's gazetteer for 1880–81, printed the same season, names Henry A. Shaffer at that station as a grain dealer; Polk for 1884–85 names eight traders. The three statements stand together here, unmerged: Chapman may describe the moment before the village's trade began (the post office dates to 1875, the village's founding to 1883), or may simply be wrong at village scale; the roster follows Polk for names because Polk is a directory and Chapman is a narrative, and it prints Chapman's sentence so the reader holds both. Second, the Lowry arrival: 1833 in Howard's sketch, 1834 in the 1875 directory — both print at the Lowry lines. Third, St. Joseph's Farm: 1867 (township history) against 1870 (diocesan paper) — both print. Fourth, Kownover's arrival: spring 1865 (Howard) against 1868 (1875 directory) — both print, with the People leg's note that his 1865 Edwardsburg lodge initiation is a third, inferential witness for the earlier year. Fifth, Beiny Levy's name in Polk 1884–85 rests on an imperfect optical text and is flagged at its line rather than silently corrected. Sixth, the Heritage Square ground itself: the federal court locates the centre "in Mishawaka, Indiana," the press and trade record address it Granger — GAP-BIZ-1 stands open with the county parcel record as settler, and every Heritage Square entry in this roster inherits that seam.
