1950–1953 · THE OFFICIAL FILE IS CITY-BLIND; NO TOWNSHIP NAME REACHED
No Korean War name for this town was reached in any carrier, and the official casualty file is built so that it cannot supply one. The Defense Casualty Analysis System extract at the National Archives records Indiana's Army dead by home-of-record county — St. Joseph — with the home-of-record city given as "UNKNOWN": the file is structurally city-blind, and no township attribution can be drawn from it in either direction. The county filter of that file was not completed and stands in the note as residue. The township's Korean War generation is not invisible in the ground — a township soldier of the war rests under a VA marker in Fair Cemetery (Donald L. Clark, U.S. Army PFC, Korea, in the cemeteries file's carrier) — but a veteran's burial is a service fact, not a war death, and no Korean War death is claimed for this town on any carrier reached.
