Famous Locations — the boundary stated first, then the grave, the works, the Register, the cameras, the rescue test, and the grounds
#97 — The boundary, stated once, plainly, at the head of the leg
The rule of this section, in one paragraph, before any place is named: a famous place is Walkerton's only if a record or a measurement puts it inside the town of Walkerton, in Lincoln Township, St. Joseph County — the town the…
#98 — The famous grave: Harold Urey at Fairfield Cemetery, Corunna, with its 2026 marker, and no move to tell

#103 — Sporting fame on working ground: the John Glenn school grounds and the Lions' gym, written as places
