As of November 2026 · OSCEOLA
The burial ground is Cemeteries' whole, and this article does not retell it: Osceola Cemetery and Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens carry the town's veteran burials at sample strength in the banked wars file, with Cemeteries owning the sections and the rolls. What this row still owed was the dated veteran population under its own instruments, and that part closes here as a named gap, with the attempt shown. The settling instrument is the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey, Table B21001 (Sex by Age by Veteran Status for the Civilian Population 18 Years and Over), 5-year estimates, for Osceola town (place 56658, Indiana) and for Penn Township as a county subdivision of St. Joseph County. Three retrievals were attempted on 11 November 2026: the Census API returned HTTP 500 on the ACS 2023 5-year B21001 query for the town and township, and direct API calls from this seat timed out without data.
Named gap: the ACS veteran-status count for Osceola town and Penn Township at a stated vintage. Settler: ACS 5-year Table B21001 (and subject table S2101) for place 56658 and for Penn Township county subdivision, St. Joseph County, Indiana — one successful Census API or data.census.gov pull closes the row with count, civilian-18+ denominator and margin of error. The institution as it stands at the stated date is already banked and stands: American Legion Post 308, 122 Lincolnway E, active in November 2026, its founding pair (IRS exemption ruling March 1946; directory “founding year 1955”) unmerged, settler the Indiana Legion's post history (DELTA DF-23).
