SBAGS, St. Joseph County Cemetery Locations, read whole for Clay Township; Chapman (1880), p. 677; the directory sweeps of November 2026
One burial ground stands proven inside the incorporated Town of Roseland — the Brethren burying ground on Cleveland Road at the town's northern edge, Ullery Cemetery, whose placement the land-records pass (R-8) settled on the boundary record and the parcel record: the Census Bureau's current town polygon contains the ground whole, and the ground's own parcel (71-03-25-126-003.000-007) carries tax city "ROSELAND CIVIL TOWN" (rl-lr8-ullery). The genealogical society's county locations list, the federal map data and the directory sweeps this section ran do not themselves make that placement — they carry the ground at the township's edge, and this section left its in-town status unproven; the settlement stands on the later instruments. The town's dead rest where the township's dead have always rested: in the Clay Township grounds at its edges, above all in that ground. The sweep's census, at the fullest carrier's strength: the South Bend Area Genealogical Society's locations list tags seven entries to Clay Township — four burial grounds (Ullery, Stuckey, Saint Joseph Valley Memorial Park, and the family ground called Harris Family), one extinct ground (McCombs), and two church columbaria that are memorial gardens, not burial grounds. The federal (USGS-derived) list carries only three of the seven and says of itself that it may be incomplete; the difference prints, not harmonized (conflict C63 in the pass note's register — the enumeration conflict). Chapman, writing in 1880, names the township's three public cemeteries of his day — "one on section 25 near the German Baptist church; one on section 30, known as the Township Cemetery, and another in connection with Notre Dame University" — and the first two of those are this section's first two grounds, under the names the modern record gives them. Each ground follows at its own place and strength.
