The Guard and the armory: negative for this town

The exact page text, read by your browser's voice.

NO ARMORY EVER; NO GUARD UNIT EVER SEATED HERE

North Liberty has never had an armory, and no National Guard unit has ever been seated here. The town's own Guardsman proves the pattern by his exception: Edward Z. Sousley, the town's First World War dead, enlisted not in any home company — there was none — but in the LaPorte company (Co. B, 151st Infantry). The county's Guard ground is the county seat's, at pointer size only: the South Bend Armory, 2402 E. Rose Street, which has stood vacant for roughly four years and, as of late 2025, is under renovation (October 2025 to spring 2026) for a 130-soldier engineer company. That is South Bend's file; it stands here solely so the county frame is complete and the negative for this town is printed against the thing it is a negative of.
