Chapman (1880); Howard (1907) I, pp. 711–757 read whole; the county framework at its record
Both halves of the test print. What was not here: no fort, stockade, or wartime installation on Clay Township ground in any carrier — the township was farmland from 1829 and a town only from 1916; no militia company of the township is named in any county history (this section's one organizational fact is the civilian subscription committee of 19 April 1861, carried in the Civil War article above); no armory or National Guard installation stands in the town in any directory or record reached — the county's armory is South Bend's, at pointer. What was here is machinery at county scale touching the township's men: the enrollment and draft boards of two world wars (the 1917 county board framework proven in the sibling builds), the recruiting that filled the county's companies from this township's farms, and the soldiers' dead brought home to the township's own burying ground — the three names under the Ullery heading in Howard's burial roll, carried in the cemeteries file. One county institution of the war era does stand on the township's edge in the record: the Grand Army post seated at Notre Dame — Post No. 569, composed, Howard says, exclusively of chaplains and members of a religious society — is carried in the memorials file, at its own place. The leg closes where a town of 854 must close: the wartime footprint of this ground is its men, and its men are the articles above.
