Chapman (1880), p. 677, read whole from the page-image text in Pass IV-2; Howard (1907), Vol. I, Ch. VIII §7, verified verbatim in the sibling pass; Shultz (1952), Part 12, at transcription strength
Two county histories fix the township's church. Chapman, in 1880, places a German Baptist church building on section 24, erected 1868, its first pastors Jacob Cripe and Christian Wenger, its pastor in 1880 John B. Wrightsman. Howard, in 1907, prints the passage entire: "Since 1868, the German Baptists have had a church in the middle of the western part of the township. Among the pastors have been Jacob Cripe, Christian Wenger and John B. Wrightsman. There is no other church in the township, except those at Notre Dame and St. Mary's." Chapman's section carries this build's standing caution (conflict C9): he names no range, the township holds two sections numbered 24, and his sections print at township strength — this article assigns the building to no range.
Shultz, writing the denomination's own history in 1952, describes the same ground from the other side: services first in houses and in a schoolhouse on Jacob Bowman's farm, then "a meeting-house was built two miles north of South Bend, and was known as the Ulery Church" — the first meeting-house of the St. Joseph church, before its territory was divided. This pass carries Chapman's section-24 building and Shultz's Ulery meeting-house as the same house and the same body, at moderate-strong strength, on the convergence of four things: Howard's statement that the township had one church only; the Wrightsman pastorate continuous across Chapman-1880 and Shultz-1881; the Cripe and Ulery family and deacon names common to both carriers; and Chapman's pairing of the church with its burying ground on the adjoining section, matching a meeting-house with the cemetery that still carries the Ulery/Ullery name. The limit is stated as plainly: no single carrier reached says the equation in so many words, and no carrier dates the Ulery meeting-house's building to 1868 — that date rests on Chapman and Howard alone, and a denominational building date stands as a named gap (G3-3). The name itself prints as its carriers give it — Ulery in Shultz, Ullery in the obituary and cemetery record — and is not harmonised.
