Dorothy V. Corson, A Cave of Candles, ch. 4 (manuscript completed summer 1994; author note dated 5 August 1994), text opened; Erma Helmen Post, Gleanings of Clay Township (1973), as excerpted by Corson.
By 1994 the name was the ordinary way to point at this ground. Corson writes of land "south of the Toll Road, now Indian Village"; of an 1863 map showing that Sorin once owned land "on the east side of Juniper Road now known as Indian Village"; and of a late-1930s barn moved "from the Indian Village area." Every one of those is a 1994 locator looking backward — the dates inside the stories are the dates of the land and the barn, not of the name, and none of the three states an origin. In the excerpts Corson quotes from Post's 1973 Gleanings of Clay Township, no statement naming Indian Village appears; the full Gleanings survives as unindexed microfilm at the St. Joseph County Public Library and was not read whole, so that is a statement about the excerpts reached, not about the book. One non-attribution is printed here so it can never drift: in the same chapter, Corson quoting Post — "The Village liked the name and decided to use it for the name of their town … called it Roseland" — is about Roseland, named from Thomas Byerley's "Roselawn" flower garden. It is not about this town and is never cited for it.
