Cemeteries — Lakeville and Union Township
Union Township keeps its dead in four grounds of its own — the town cemetery on the Michigan Road, a settlement cemetery on Miami Road, a Dice family ground in the southwest, and a Catholic parish ground on the highway north — and sends two of its oldest communities' dead across its lines: the Huggart Settlement's families to Porter-Rea, two miles west in Liberty Township, and the County Line Brethren's to Mount Zion, just over the Marshall County line. One presumed ground, the Olive Branch churchyard, is not evidenced anywhere the record keeps lists. The township's census of grounds is itself a printed conflict: the federal place-name record enumerates two cemeteries here, and the older apparatus — the 1939 WPA graves register and the county genealogical society's inscription volumes — carries more. this section works from the fuller apparatus and prints the two-name list as what it is, an under-inclusive extent, not the township's census.

the keeper statute, qualified · the reading apparatus
Indiana does not give its township trustees every cemetery in their townships, and this section assigns each ground on its own evidence rather than by the blanket rule. On the State Board of Accounts' own statement of the…

Olive Branch: the Churchyard That Is Not in Any List
the test, and its result · 22750 Osborne Rd.
The Olive Branch church stands, and its congregation's whole course is in this build's religion file — but no burial ground belonging to it is evidenced anywhere the record keeps lists. The presumption was natural: a United…
Mount Calvary Cemetery: the Parish Ground on the Highway
Sacred Heart of Jesus parish · north of town on U.S. 31
The township's Catholic dead lie in a parish ground whose keeper is certain and whose founding date no carrier reached gives. Mount Calvary Cemetery stands north of town on U.S. 31 (federal point 41.57211° N, 86.26318° W) and…

on Riley Rd., the township's southwest · burials by 1902 on the press record
