The keepsake-money test: no small sum that lasted, on this ground

The exact page text, read by your browser's voice.

No keepsake-money tale — the coin kept, the small sum that founded or saved — is told of this ground in any carrier reached. The county histories' township stock as read carries money as prices, costs, and acreages (a church at $1,000, another at $1,162, a school parcel at $3,618.45) but no money tale: no dollar carried through a life, no first-earned coin kept, no small stake that lasted into legend. The Geyer-derived claims, tested whole in the stories file, carry no money tale either. The pattern's nearest documented instance is again boundary matter and prints as such: the county's disability agency LOGAN began, in the news accounts of its seventy-fifth anniversary, with $25 in the treasury — a South Bend founding fact of 1950, carried in this section's charities file, and not a Lakeville telling. The row closes as a named gap: the tale class is empty for this ground at reached strength, its settlers Geyer's Now & then and the Chapman/Howard texts searched at the strength this build reads them (transcription, checked against page images only where a passage is quoted).

Principal sources: the banked Churches & Religion and this history for the township's priced record; Famous Stories & the Record for the Geyer-derived stock; the LOGAN anniversary coverage (South Bend Tribune, December 2025) for the boundary instance.
