township class, south end · 69988 U.S. 31
At the township's south end stands County Line Brethren Church — Church of the Brethren, formerly Mt. Zion Brethren, and a different church from the United Brethren of Olive Branch despite the near-identical names. The congregation's own site prints Sunday school at 9:00 a.m., worship at 10:10 a.m., a food pantry on first and third Tuesdays, and phone (574) 784-3352. The South Bend Area Genealogical Society's church-records index lists "County Line Brethren | Lakeville," its records at the Mishawaka-Penn-Harris and St. Joseph County libraries, and its crosswalk carries "Mt Zion Brethren | Lakeville | County Line Brethren" — Mt. Zion is the former name. The congregation's earlier course stands in this record at snippet strength only, and prints at that strength: a Marshall County churches page, seen as a search-result snippet and not opened under this build's discipline, states that Mt. Zion stood in an original frame church on U.S. 31 two miles north of La Paz for nearly three-quarters of a century before its destruction by the Palm Sunday tornado of 1965, with a new brick church built on the St. Joseph County side of the line. A February 2008 obituary confirms the church at 69988 U.S. 31 South, Lakeville, with the deceased a past moderator of the church. The Church of the Brethren's district directory entry was not captured; the congregation's first-hand history banks as a named gap with the Northern Indiana District directory as settler.
