Sources — Indian Village, Indiana
The leg's verdict, stated first
The build's three passes, November 2026
This town's history is assembled from county paper, federal paper, and the state's official series — and from no town archive, because none is open to be read. Indian Village has produced no history of itself that any carrier…
Settler G-T-1, discharged: the 1818 Miami treaty, read first-hand
Kappler, Indian Affairs: Laws and Treaties, Vol. II, pp. 171–174 — the Oklahoma State University digital Kappler edition, read first-hand…
The instrument is the Treaty with the Miami, made at St. Mary's, Ohio, 6 October 1818 (7 Stat. 189; proclaimed 15 January 1819), between commissioners Jonathan Jennings, Lewis Cass and Benjamin Parke and the Miami nation. Its…
The county-history shelf, book by book
Chas. C. Chapman & Co. (1880); Howard (1907), Vols. 1–2; Goodspeed Brothers (1893) — holdings at the Indiana State Library (977.201 S143 /…
Chapman (1880) is the shelf's foundation for this town: its Clay Township chapter (pp. 676–682) was read whole in Pass IV-2 from the Archive.org page-image text — the villages sentence, the cemeteries and church passages, the…
Howard Volume 1, §7: the re-pull that did not land — G2-2 stands open
The routes tried, reported whole; the Archive.org item historyofstjosep01howa; the specification carried from EXPAND-IV2-NOTE (gap G2-2)
The owed page-image verification of Howard's Clay Township §7 was attempted by every route the record allows, and it did not land. The item page on Archive.org was read: it returned the Archive's banner only, with no full-text…
The unpaged print: Stoll, the DAR volume, Suter
Indiana State Library catalog records, read (977.201 S143st; S143d; S143su); the mention test at search and catalog strength
Three county volumes stand on the shelf unread, and the build says exactly what it does and does not know about them. Stoll's Account of St. Joseph County from its Organization (1923) — the only county narrative printed after the…
Atlases and county maps
Indiana State Library atlas and plat-book catalog, read; the Library of Congress record for the Stokes map; the 1875 text layer executed in…
The 1875 Higgins, Belden atlas is the shelf's one executed atlas — in text. Its text layer was run whole in IV-2: the Clay early-settler footnote (which names twelve sections and not the town's 25) and the Clay directory of p.…
Newspapers: the papers, and where their runs actually live
The University of Notre Dame's Building South Bend property record for the runs; the repository carriers verified at catalog strength
Three papers carry this county's record, and only one of them can be read free. The St. Joseph Valley Register (1845–1887), the township-settlement paper, bought out by the Tribune in 1887; the South Bend Tribune, weekly from 9…
The official series the build rests on
Each series as read in the passes named; the citation disciplines stated with their conflicts
The build's skeleton is official paper. The State Board of Accounts' examinations of the town — B37330 (signed 8 July 2010; period 2007–2009) and B49994 (signed 12 February 2018; period 2013–2016) — were read whole in IV-2 and…
The archives, archive by archive
The repositories as used across the three passes; strengths as stated
Four repositories hold this build's unopened paper. The History Museum (South Bend) — its archives, including the Jeanne Denham Collection, whose online finding aid was searched whole in IV-2 with no town entry (a tested negative…
The digital shelves, and the denial class stated exactly
The shelves as used in this build, November 2026
Archive.org is the build's book carrier — Chapman's page-image text, Howard's second volume, the 1875 atlas text layer — and its one failure mode in this build is the whole-file timeout that keeps Howard's first volume open (its…
The pull list: what is not digitised, or not yet run
Consolidated from the three passes' gap registers; each item with its settler location and the gap it settles
The honest tail, as a working list. (P-2) The Recorder's plat books — the plat behind the seven streets — in person or on the county's paid portal under authorisation; settles the name-origin and plat gaps. (P-3) The town's own…
The source-trap ledger
Compiled across the three passes; each trap with the discipline that disarms it
The same name in several record systems is this build's standing hazard, and its traps are named so they stay disarmed. The two GNIS records — civil and populated-place, one ground — from which no founding sequence may be…
Method, and how to check us
The method of Passes IV-1 to IV-3, stated where a checker will find it
Every claim in this build can be traced to a carrier that was actually read, at the strength the read supports. Whole-chapter and whole-report reads print as strong; search snippets print as search strength and settle nothing…
