Compilation claim · two carriers now
The date now has two tellers — the compilation and Geyer — and the county history's sequence still stands against both. The town's reference article states, uncited: "The area of Lakeville was first settled by Euro-Americans in 1836. The railroad in 1845 spurred further growth." — the sentence mirrored verbatim by the Alchetron copy and downstream scrapers. Geyer's narrative carries the same year with the line named: "The little village rapidly expanded with businesses and homes when the Vandalia Railroad was built in 1845, it ran from Logansport to South Bend." Howard gives the railroad no date at all, and his order cannot hold 1845: Michigan Road, plank road, the plank road's decay, and only "after another interval the Vandalia railroad came in" — the interval itself following his 1857/1859 plat account. The claim prints as compilation-and-Geyer telling, contradicted in sequence by the county history, sourced by neither teller — and the railroad's own measured course, with the branch's real dates, is the movement legs' file, pointed to here and not duplicated.
