The funeral line, 1916–1928: the congregation's last services

South Bend News-Times, 23 Oct 1916 (snippet strength); South Bend Tribune, 16 July 1920 (transcription read whole); South Bend Tribune, 7 Feb 1928 (snippet strength) — carriers as cited in the pass note

The obituary record is where the congregation's last years are visible. In October 1916 the funeral of Susan Wells was held "from the residence and at 2.30 o'clock from the Ullery church, Rev Cripe officiating. Burial will be in the Ullery cemetery." In July 1920 the funeral of Mrs. Lucinda Jones, aged 81, was held at a South Bend Avenue residence "and at 2:30 o'clock at the Ullery church, rev. Isaac Miller, officiating. Burial will be in Ullery cemetery" — Miller being the congregation's second pastor in Shultz's line, still officiating in its house a year before the end; this is the last carrier reached that places a service inside the church. In February 1928 the form has changed: Mrs. Permelia Greenwood's funeral was held at her daughter's residence in Clay Township, the Rev. Clyde Forney of South Bend's First Church of the Brethren officiating, with "burial… at the Ullery cemetery, north of Roseland." A residence service, a city pastor, burial in the old ground — consistent with a congregation disorganised in 1921, though the 1928 notice by itself proves no such thing, and both facts print. After 1928, no carrier reached names a service at, or a pastor of, the Ullery church; burials in its cemetery continue in the listings into the 1930s, and a continuing cemetery is not a continuing congregation. The cemetery's own course — its bounds and its present keeping — belongs to this build's cemeteries leg (Pass IV-6), cross-pointed here and not worked.
