On the record

The test asks two questions: is there a famous grave inside the line, and does the ground's one famous burial story involve a grave that moved? Inside the line, the answer is no, and the build's own burial record is the evidence: Cemeteries and Wars & Military Service carry this ground's burials whole, including the 183 indexed veterans at St. Joseph Valley Memorial Park, and no famous grave stands among them. The one famous burial of a Granger resident points outward. Ara Parseghian, who coached Notre Dame to the 1966 and 1973 national championships, died at his home in Granger — the university's announcement and the Tribune obituary agree on the place — and he is buried not here but in Cedar Grove Cemetery at Notre Dame, Section K, Row 3, Lot 15: the fame attaches to a Granger death and a Notre Dame grave, and each half is printed at its own ground. The moved grave belongs to the same boundary cemetery. Knute Rockne lay in Highland Cemetery, South Bend, from 1931 until April 28, 2024, when, at his family's request — the family citing litter and damage at the old site — his remains and those of his wife, a son, and a grandson were disinterred and reburied at Cedar Grove. So the template case, the famous grave that moved, exists in this county's record, and it moved between two grounds neither of which is Granger's. The conflicts in the Parseghian record are printed unreconciled: the university, the NCAA, and the Tribune give his death as August 2, 2017, at 1:30 a.m., while a grave-visit account gives August 1, 2017.

Notable People (Parseghian, died at his Granger home, buried Cedar Grove); Cemeteries and Wars & Military Service burial records (183 indexed veterans, St. Joseph Valley Memorial Park); University of Notre Dame news release, August 2, 2017, and South Bend Tribune obituary via Legacy (died at his home in Granger); South Bend Tribune coaches' burial compilation (Cedar Grove, Section K, Row 3, Lot 15); Cedar Grove Cemetery, University of Notre Dame, "Rockne Family Reinterred at Cedar Grove, April 28, 2024," and its Knute K. Rockne burial page (interred at Highland Cemetery until April 28, 2024); WNDU report, April 29, 2024 (family's reasons for the move).
