The Legion Auxiliary of 1933; the rest, silence at searched strength

The Auxiliary's paper predates its own post's. The American Legion Auxiliary unit for Post 363 carries a federal exempt record dated 01/1933 — earlier than the post's own two conflicting dates, which print with it, unmerged: exempt ruling February 1945, department post data March 1946. None of the three is a charter date and none is printed as one. The Auxiliary's own course — officers, membership, work — is a named gap (settler: Department of Indiana Auxiliary records). Beyond it, the searches print negative with their settlers named: no Lakeville women's club by name in any carrier reached; no Union Township Extension Homemaker club named (that such clubs were near-universal in Indiana counties is context, not a local fact, and none is asserted); no Lakeville PTA/PTO course found; and the religion file names no separate women's society for any Lakeville or Union congregation. Each absence is documented; existence is neither asserted nor denied beyond the record reached.

The clubs record's later digs stand at lk-digi-wom-ywca and lk-digi-wom-sisters (assembly pointer, DELTA-I-4).
