George Walters — saloon (Polk 1882–83, 1884–85).

W. S. Clark — grocer (Polk, all three 1880s editions, unchanged). A candidate for Chapman's second country store at grocer strength only — not promoted.

John Hupp — millinery and fancy goods (Polk 1882–83), expanded 1884–85 to "Millinery and Fancy Goods and Agricultural Implements"; postmaster in both editions. His relation to Michael Hupp of the plats is unstated.

William H. Robertson — undertaker and justice (Polk, all three 1880s editions). The Atlas's detached "Farmer, Undertaker, and Justice of the Peace" row is not attached to him — the name column is detached.

Christian H. Thorpe — hardware (Polk 1884–85 classified Hardware list, snippet strength: "Lakeville Thorpe Christian H").

Robert Moore — physician (Polk, all three 1880s editions; Howard: came to Lakeville after his marriage 19 March 1857, "for forty-two years he has actively engaged in the practice of medicine"; d. 11 May 1900; charter member, Lakeville Lodge No. 353, 1867, printed once "Robert Moor"). One of the two best-placed names for Chapman's three physicians of 1880 — but Polk lists four and no carrier names Chapman's three, so the slot stays formally open.

John Moore — physician (Polk, all three 1880s editions; Howard: came at nineteen, studied medicine with his brother Robert, Cleveland medical course 1860, "began practice and continued for forty years"; d. 23 April 1904; master of the Lakeville lodge at his death).

D. L. Moore — physician (Polk, all three 1880s editions). Conflict, printed whole: Howard's Robert Moore sketch lists "D. L. Moore, of La Paz, Indiana" among Robert's children without the "Dr." styling it gives another son — the identification is a name-match only.

F. M. Sawyer — physician (Polk 1880–81, 1882–83; absent 1884–85).

E. E. Fast — physician (Polk 1884–85 only, in Sawyer's place).

Samuel Annis — farming and lumbering, Section 5 (Chapman sketch, 1880). Township class.

John H. Bennett — farm operator, 103 acres valued at $5,000 (Chapman sketch, 1880). Township class.

Valentine Fisher — blacksmith turned farmer, about 200 acres, Section 24 (Chapman sketch, 1880). Distinct from Daniel J. Fisher; not merged.

Joseph T. Jackson — farmer, 315 acres, "one of the successful farmers of this tp." (Chapman sketch, 1880); married to Michael Hupp's daughter Mary. Township class.

Mahlon Heston — farmer, 100 acres, Section 10 (Chapman sketch, 1880; Howard: retired into Lakeville in 1892).

Michael Trump — farmer, 80 acres, Section 16 (Chapman sketch, 1880).

John A. Lamb — farmer, "farming the farm he was born on" (Chapman sketch, 1880; Company K, 29th Indiana, wounded at Stone River).

A. H. Jester — hatter for a decade, then farmer (Chapman sketch, 1880).

Frederic Losch — cabinet-maker (Chapman sketch, 1880; Saxon; Company H, 32nd Wisconsin).

Moses Pimches — farming and blacksmithing (Chapman sketch, 1880; Company C, 48th Indiana). His son John J. Pimches, milling in Marshall County, is out-of-ground, pointer only.

Ruth Brock — farm operator, her farm in Liberty and Union townships (Chapman sketch, 1880; b. 1802, North Carolina, née Frazier, twice widowed; of Chapman's thirty-one sketches, hers is the one sketch that is a woman's own). A woman owner — see the women sweep. Township class.

Edward Cordray — carpenter, teacher, Advent elder; farm operator, 40 acres (Chapman sketch, 1880). Township class. (The hotel keeper of 1882–83 is Henry Cordary; the name-forms travel separately in the carriers and the men are not merged on a spelling.)

William Annis — farmer and stock raiser, Section 31 (Atlas 1875). Township class.

G. H. Bunch — farmer and stock raiser, Section 25 (Atlas 1875; of Gates County, North Carolina; settled 1853). Township class — the same Atlas occupation form as William Annis's line, counted on the same footing.

J. D. Annis — farmer and threshing machine, Section 8 (Atlas 1875; Bremen post office). Township class.

Lock & Lightfoot — saw mill (Polk 1884–85). One linkage at surname strength. By the 1889 manufacturers' directory the names stand separate in the same Lakeville list — "Lightfoot & Co, saw mill" and "Wm Lock, saw mill" — carried here as the firm's split on this line, not as new linkages.

Isaac Dribellis — saw mill (1889 Directory of Indiana Manufacturers; appears in no other carrier reached).

John Reed — Reed & Shaneover, General Store (Polk 1882–83) → Reed John, General Store (Polk 1884–85). One owner's line, two firm forms; whether this store succeeded Swezey's or was the second store all along is unstated.

Shaneover — partner, Reed & Shaneover, General Store (Polk 1882–83 only; surname only).
