Ullery Cemetery — inside the town, settled whole

U.S. Census Bureau TIGERweb, Incorporated Places layer, 1 January 2026 vintage (GEOID 1865988); Indiana Geographic Information Office, Parcel Boundaries of Indiana 2021 (parcel 71-03-25-126-003.000-007)

The question the ground has carried since the cemeteries pass — whether Ullery Cemetery lies inside the Town of Roseland — is settled: it does, proven by two independent instruments that agree. The boundary instrument: the Census Bureau's current incorporated-place polygon for Roseland (a single ring of 78 vertices; land area 977,531 square metres; internal point 41.7176362, −86.2506009) contains all three published coordinate pairs for the ground, each tested by point-in-polygon: the federal pair (41.72296, −86.24864) falls 17.8 metres inside the town's north edge, the South Bend Area Genealogical Society pair (41.72244, −86.24972) 76.0 metres inside, and the aggregator pair (41.723037, −86.248512) 9.2 metres inside. The parcel instrument: the state's parcel record at the federal coordinate returns exactly one parcel, and it is the cemetery's own — parcel 71-03-25-126-003.000-007, street address 142 Cleveland Road, DLGF address "CEMETERY E OF CLEVELAND," prop_city ROSELAND, tax city "ROSELAND CIVIL TOWN," tax township Clay Township, county tax district 71007, class code 630, its ground 2,959.26 square metres, sourced from St. Joseph County in the 2021 statewide parcel file. Every vertex of that parcel, and its mean point, also tests inside the town polygon. The three published coordinate pairs still disagree with each other — the Society pair falls some 28 metres west of the parcel's own ring, though inside the town — and that disagreement stands in the register as the coordinate conflict it always was; the placement question, which is what the gap asked, is closed for all three points and for the parcel itself. The ground's keeper stands on a different limb and remains open: no text-reachable trustee cemetery list naming Ullery was found, and the state's historic-cemetery registry sweep for the ground stands unexecuted, stated in the sweeps article below.
