Lamb's Settlement Cemetery, also Union Cemetery: the Ground the Brief Did Not Know

66521 Miami Rd., the township's northeast side · a whole ground found by the sweep

A fourth ground stands in this township that no assignment list named — the sweep found it, and the file works it whole. Lamb's Settlement Cemetery stands at 66521 Miami Road on the township's northeast side (federal point 41.55688° N, 86.22431° W — essentially the federal point of the Union Church place-name, an observation printed as one). Its name sets conflict, and both print: the aggregator's aliases give "Union Cemetery" only; the county genealogical site's transcription page, at labelled snippet strength, gives "Union; Carson; Mennonite, Shively Cemetery"; the WPA register's key heads its entry "Lamb's Settlement (Union)." The word "Union" in its name is explained by no carrier read — whether it names the township, a union character, or the Union Church of 1875 is a named gap — and the connection its other name invites, to Esau Lamb, the c.1836 settler of this build's people file, is asserted by no carrier and made by no one here. Its founding was not reached: no instrument, deed, date, or denominational statement under any of its aliases in the carriers read, its settlers the WPA register's typescript history at pp. 1090–1096 — the largest Union-side page range in the register after Lakeville's own — this ground's inscription-volume headnote, and the Recorder's deeds under all four names. Its present keeper stands at snippet strength: the transcription page directs "Contact the Union Twp. Trustee," a direction this section carries expressly as snippet-strength only, though the telephone number it gives is the trustee office number this build banked from the township's own record — corroborating the number, not the direction's authority; on the statute the trustee reads as this ground's likeliest statutory home (a fundless pre-1939 ground, or a township-owned one), and the trustee's published cemetery list is the settler. Its reading state: the WPA register's seven pages, an online transcription begun 27 August 2005 and updated 2 January 2008 on the county site (snippet strength), an inscription-volume reading implied by the volume's township scope, and an aggregator index of 253 records at index strength. One exclusion stands against confusion: this ground is not Lamb's Chapel, or Lambs Cemetery, of La Porte County, a different county's ground on different carriers, and the two are never merged.
