The markers counted: two in the town, twenty-three in the county — and a third number, printed whole

Indiana Historical Bureau county list, counted at November 2026; banked this history lk-rem-heritage

The town's markers are two of a county set of twenty-three — and a third Lakeville marker number stands in the build's own hotel articles, unmerged with the count, because the record has not merged it either. The county count: St. Joseph County (county 71 in the Bureau's numbering) carries twenty-three state historical markers on the Indiana Historical Bureau's list as carried in March 2024 and counted again — the set within which Lakeville's share is two. The town's two, as banked: 71.1998.1, Huggart Settlement (1998), its text verified accurate by the Bureau's own review report of 17 March 2014; and 71.2003.1, Porter (Rea) Cemetery (2003), standing in Potato Creek State Park, its placement on Union Township ground honestly not established in the banked memorials file. Two markers, both run for the township's Black history — the finding the banked article headlines, now with its denominator. The third number prints whole and unresolved (NEW-F-1 in this lane's accounting): the build's hotel articles cite an Indiana Historical Bureau marker file numbered 71.2019.1 in the Lakeville file, attached to the Forrest Hotel record — a 2019 marker number the heritage article's count of two does not carry. Whether 71.2019.1 is a third erected marker, a file opened and not completed, or a citation error in the hotel pass, no carrier reached in this section decides; the Bureau's marker file itself is the settler, and the count prints as two erected and counted, one further number standing in the build, never silently harmonised. No town marking programme or landmark tour of Lakeville's own is named in any carrier reached; the town's marking is the state's, twice — or, on the third number's resolution, three times.
