The leg's verdict, stated first

SBAGS, St. Joseph County Cemetery Locations, read whole for Clay Township in the sibling pass; Chapman (1880), p. 677; the directory sweeps of Pass IV-3, November 2026

No burial ground stands inside the incorporated Town of Indian Village — tested, not assumed. The genealogical society's county locations list, the fullest carrier, tags seven entries to Clay Township — four burial grounds (Ullery, Stuckey, Saint Joseph Valley Memorial Park, and the family ground called Harris Family), one extinct ground (McCombs), and two church columbaria that are memorial gardens, not burial grounds — and not one of the seven falls inside the town's near-rectangle of seven streets. The Pass IV-3 directory record agrees at its own strength: the federal feature sweep at the town's point carries no cemetery at the point, and the nearest cemetery stands about 0.9 miles away. The town's dead rest where the township's dead have always rested: in the Clay Township grounds around it, above all in the Brethren burying ground on Cleveland Road that Chapman places in the town's own section — Section 25 — beside the township's one historic church. Chapman, writing in 1880, names the township's three public cemeteries of his day — "one on section 25 near the German Baptist church; one on section 30, known as the Township Cemetery, and another in connection with Notre Dame University" — and the first of those is this section's first ground, worked whole below at township strength. Each ground follows at its own place and strength.
