at boundary size
Two more family grounds stand in the township's south, and they enter this section at boundary size, as the frame of the township's whole burial map. Eutzler Cemetery, at 41.63367 north, 86.14307 west on Downey Avenue, and Ferrisville Cemetery, at 41.60811 north, 86.17743 west on Kern Road at the State Road 331 corridor, are both carried in the federal names record for Penn Township. Ferrisville's name carries a correspondence this section notes and no more: the Ferris family whose B. J. Ferris kept the First Baptist Church of Penn Township's treasury from 1837 gives the south township its Ferrisville name — a correspondence of surnames across the same township's record, printed as such, with no association between the church's ground (wherever it stood) and this cemetery asserted. The south yards' own whole telling — their families, their readings, their keeping — belongs with the township's southern neighborhoods' record; here they fix the map: five of the township's nine federal grounds are small and family-kept, and four of those five stand outside every corporation line in the township.
