EACH CONGREGATION TESTED; BOUNDARY ITEMS KEPT OUT

St. John's Lutheran is the township's only church ground (above); every other congregation tested carries none. Catholic: negative — no Catholic church, mission, or parish has stood in town or township in any era searched (the banked religion file's test stands), so no Catholic cemetery exists to find; the task's "St. Philip's/Catholic" candidate resolves as an Episcopal mission (c. 1873–1902) with no burial ground attached in any carrier reached, and St. Stanislaus Kostka at Terre Coupee is New Carlisle's ground, boundary only. Methodist: negative at reached strength — the town congregation (first 1851; building replaced 1878) carries no cemetery in Chapman, Howard, or any carrier reached in either pass; its dead lie, on the record reached, in the town ground — printed as the record's silence, not as a claim about any individual burial. United Brethren / Olive Branch: negative at reached strength — no ground under either name appears in the county record's file, the gazetteer's four, or any carrier reached. Brethren: negative at reached strength, and one half of gap G-RL-14 still open — no cemetery attaches to Pine Creek Church of the Brethren or to the town Brethren congregation in any carrier reached; because a congregation's own records could carry a ground the county file missed, the item prints as a tested negative with the congregation's own records as settler, the same settler the religion file named. Seventh-Day Adventist: negative at reached strength — the town's Adventist church (built 1868; gone from the roll) carries no burial ground in any carrier reached. Moved grounds, as a class: none found — no carrier reached reports any Liberty Township ground moved, relocated, or built over (the lost-grounds test's positive results are Inks and Snell, above). Boundary, printed so it is never imported: Crumstown Cemetery, on a North Liberty mailing address, resolves in the county record's file under Warren Township — as do that file's Chamberlain Family and Riddle grounds, each "no longer exists" — Warren's losses, not Liberty's. And the state's Cemetery Heritage sign programme touches none of this township's grounds: the Bureau's North Region list names four county cemeteries (Byrkit, Hamilton Church, Mount Pleasant, South Bend City), none in Liberty Township — a tested negative distinct from Porter-Rea's Historical Bureau marker, which is a different programme and stands in the heritage file.
