No soldiers' monument stands in Lakeville on any record — and the test is printed so the absence counts as worked, not assumed. The searches ran for a town soldiers' or veterans' monument, a memorial ground, a memorial park, and a veterans' corner at the town's Culp Park (201–299 S. Main St.), and returned nothing at web-record strength; the field check — the town's parks walked, the Legion hall's frontage read — is the named settler, and until it runs, the finding stands as none found, not none exists. (Two confusables were refused on the way: Lakeville, New York, has a veterans' monument and flagpole, and Lakeville, Massachusetts, an honor roll; neither is this town's, and neither is cited for anything here.) The schools' test returned the same form: no physical veterans memorial at LaVille was found on the schools' carriers — the 2000 programme in the article above is a programme, not a memorial — its settlers the school corporation's own pages read directly and the same field check. No memorial street, park, tree, flagpole, or plaque naming for a serviceman was found in the town (the Mangus Memorial Highway, a state designation on the old road south, stands in this build's corridors file at pointer). Newton Park, the town's recreation ground, carries no veterans memorial in any carrier read and stands at pointer.
What does stand, in the township, are the state's two markers — and only one of them is this township's. Indiana Historical Marker 71.1998.1, "Huggart Settlement," stands on Union Township ground at State Road 4 and Pierce Road at Mulberry Road, and its text, verified accurate by the Historical Bureau's own review of 17 March 2014, reads: "(Side one) African-American Samuel Huggart applied for a land patent in 1834 for property near here. He was one of the first landowners in the Huggart Settlement, a rural community of primarily African-American, white, and Native-American residents in southern St. Joseph County. (Side two) Huggart Settlement families socialized, attended school, buried their dead at nearby Porter-Rea Cemetery, and worshipped together. The Huggart, Bass, Boone, and Manuel families were early settlers and community founders. Settlement in decline by early 1900s; descendants remain in the area." The marker was placed in 1998; its dedication date and sponsors stand in the Bureau's marker file, a named gap. It is inventoried here as what it is — a settlement marker on the township's memory landscape, the physical anchor of this build's black-history file — and is not reclassified as a war memorial, though the ground it points to holds soldiers of two wars. The county's second relevant marker, 71.2003.1, Porter (Rea) Cemetery, stands in the ground itself — in Liberty Township, at the park — and its full text stands in this build's cemeteries file where the ground is worked whole; it is carried here at pointer only, its placement on Union Township ground not established on any carrier read, the county's parcel record its settler. The Bureau's county list of twenty-three markers was worked whole against the township: no other state marker stands on Lakeville or Union Township ground.
