German Township's own cemetery page, record strength; SBAGS Cemetery Locations
West of the town, on another Cleveland-and-Adams-Road geography, stands the ground this one is confused with — and the confusion is now documented in the society's own file, which lists "Ullery Cemetery" as an alias of the German Township ground while also listing Ullery as its own Clay Township entry (C57). The German Township ground is Portage Prairie Cemetery, on the north side of Adams Road, a quarter-mile west of Orange Road in German Township — "also known as the Dunkard Cemetery, Ullery Cemetery, and Rough Cemetery," deeded as a cemetery in 1844 by Christian Holler and James Miller, in use since 1836, kept today by the German Township Trustee, at 41.7515840, −86.3476870. It is a different ground from the Clay Township Ullery of this section — different township, different road, some seven kilometres apart, a different congregation's dead — sharing a family name and a faith and nothing else, and the two are never merged in this build. German Township's second ground rides in the same article because it carries the third trap of the same kind: Cripe-Witter (Witter) Cemetery, on the north side of Cleveland Road between Portage Road and Lynnwood Avenue — Cleveland Road again, but German Township's stretch of it — deeded to the township on 12 February 1844 from John Cripe, its graves dating to 1834, declared the county's first cemetery historic landmark on 13 August 1991. Road names repeat; townships and sections do not, and the record in this build is kept by the latter.
