Timothy Edward Howard's A History of St. Joseph County, Indiana (Lewis Publishing Company, 1907, two volumes) is the second county history and the only one that tells the town's own story as a town. Volume 1 carries the Union section (pp. 279–281), the Lakeville section (pp. 314–315 — the plat's Lots A–F on the Michigan Road's west side adjoining Coquillard's addition of 18 August 1857, the original plat recorded 23 December 1859, the plank-road episode, and the incorporation by order of the board of county commissioners on 7 July 1902), the Roads chapter (§II, p. 231), the Railroads chapter (§III, p. 236), and the Press chapter (§VII, p. 463) on which this section's newspaper article stands. Volume 2 carries a Lakeville and Union biographical cluster (print pp. 1097–1115 and scattered, twenty-two subjects and more) that LK-2 tested positive against the "South Bend only" presumption. The State Library files it at 977.201 S143h, film LH 8190, reprint at IND REF, both volumes online. Its extent carries a conflict of the shelf: the transcription carrier gives Vol. 2 at 887 pages, Google Books at 1,158 — both stand. Howard is good for the town's course to 1907 and the county's institutional frame; he is bad for the same transcription reason as Chapman, and his Union chapter contradicts his own book on the townsite's survey township (LK-1's C2) — a warning this build prints wherever his word stands alone.
