The exclusions: other Indian Villages' papers, named so they are never merged

The quarantine record of Passes IV-1 through IV-3, restated for this section

Three other places wear this name, and their press is not this town's. The Noble County Indian Village — the unincorporated community in Sparta Township, the reservation residence of the Miami chief Papakeecha (1827–1834) — has its own newspaper neighbourhood in the Directory's data, the papers of Ligonier, Kendallville and Avilla; none of them is evidence about this town, in either direction. Fort Wayne's Indian Village — the developer-built subdivision of the 1920s, a historic district with a documented building history — lives in Fort Wayne's papers, the Journal Gazette and the News-Sentinel; a search that returns an "Indian Village" newspaper story from Allen County has returned another place's news. And the name's third life, in the removal-era record of the other counties' histories, belongs to the tribes file's quarantine. The rule of this section is the rule of the build: a title, a story, or a date is this town's only when a carrier ties it to this ground — Saint Joseph County, Clay Township, the seven streets — and on that test the town's newspaper record is, whole and honestly, the empty set, with the county paper of record standing behind it.
