RE:
APRIL MEETING
DATE:
APRIL 11, 1991
Our meeting is April 15 in the County Council Caucus Room at 7:30 p.m.
In this month's packet you will notice that the minutes have been
abbreviated, but still retain some of the dialogue of the meeting. You
will also note that the pages have been +numbered and the motions underlined.
I hope this meets with your approval. All tapes from the meetings will be
available in the HPC office, should exact wording become necessary.
Just a reminder. . . the 1991 Mayor's Conference on Historic Preservation
will be on May 1st. This year's topic is Growth Management: Coordinating
the Resources of Yesterday and Today. The Conference will begin with
registration at 9:00 a.m., with the Conference itself beginning at 9:30.
Since we are the primary sponsor, I hope several of you will plan to attend.
Please make your reservations ($15.00 for lunch and breaks) with our office
no later than April 25th.
I will need to have a special meeting of the C. of A. committee within
the next two weeks or so. We have a sizeable C. of A. project which I
would like to act upon soon. They did not meet the deadline for this
month's meeting, so I could not place them on the agenda.

South Bend, IN 46615
PROPOSAL,
Replace existing metal shed in north -east corner of the property
with either of two prefabricated 8X10, wood composition, gambrel- -
roofed sheds as per attached specifications. The new shed will
be identically situated as the current shed on an existing
concrete slab.
STANDARDS
III. C. Accessory Buildings
1) Required
Accessory buildings shall be located at the rear of
residences and as unobtrusively as possible while
preserving the historical relationships between the
building, landscape features, and open spaces.
Proportions and materials shall conform to those
required for New Construction (see A -1 and B -1).
2) Recommended
Accessory building designs should be compatible in
character and mood to the residences and neighborhood.
3) Proh_i_bited
Pre- fabricated, metal sheds may not be used.
4) Not Recommended
Pre - fabricated wood composition sheds should not be
used unless they conform to all other standards.
RECOMMENDATIONS_
The existing metal shed is in deteriorated condition and has no
historical or architectural significance. As installation of
metal sheds is prohibited by the district standards, the removal
of this unit is favorable. The owner of the property has
proposed two replacement units which are relatively compatible to
the fabric of the East Wayne historic district. Although they
are pre - fabricated wood composition sheds, which the district
standards suggest should not be used, the proposed units appear
to conform to all other standards.

PROPOSAL
Owner has submitted a request for variance of part II of a C of A
reviewed and approved by the Historic Preservation Commission in
January of this year. The owner wishes to install four skylights
on the west side of the gable roof as per the attached
specifications and drawings instead of the approved dormers.
STANDARDS
II. A. BuAId ng_.,_Materials.
1) Required
Original exterior building materials shall be retained.
B. Roofs and Roofing
1) Regg - i_ red
.
The existing shape and materials of the roof shall be
retained.
3) Prohibited,
Nothing shall be done to change the essential character
of the roof as viewed from the thoroughfare by adding
architectural features, large, unsightly fixtures, or
by using roofing materials inappropriate to the style
of the house.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The owner has received cost estimates from several contractors
regarding the installation of dormers on the roof's west - facing
slope and has found it cost prohibitive to carry out the project.
The staff appreciates the owner's need for natural light and
ventilation in their newly finished attic space; skylights can be
installed in such a way that they are not unsightly and do not
detract from the aesthetic integrity of the structure or the
district environment. The staff recommends that the Commission
consider the submitted design and propose alternatives if
necessary.

CLEVELAND /LYNNWOOD CEMETERY
An 1875 plat map of German Township in Higgins' I_1.1_u_strat.ed
H_istor.i. al.... „_At_la__
sof St. .._.Joseph County shows a swath of land dUU
out between properties owned by two early white settler families,
the Sweets and Witters; a local history text [1] attributes W.
Witter as the donor of the land for use as a cemetery. Currently
referred to as Witter Cemetery by many local citizens and the
German Township Assessors Office, the property was actually
donated by John and Eva Cripe; the Cripes were also among the
first Caucasians to settle in what is now known as St. Joseph
County. A public record dated February 12, 1844 shows the
donation of the southwest corner of German Township's section 22
to the inhabitants of the township for use as a cemetery (as
deeded by John and Eva Cripe). Also known throughout local
history as Sweet Cemetery and Cripe Cemetery, this paper will
refer to the site as the Cleveland /Lynnwood Cemetery which
depicts its general geographic location by relation to existing
thoroughfares.
The grave sites of numerous. early Caucasian inhabitants of
the region are located on this plot of land. Members of the
Hague, Miller, Wagner, Witter, Cripe, Stutsman, and Frame pioneer
families are buried here among others. These early settlers of
European descent were largely of German nationality and farmers
by trade. Several became involved in the early politics, civic
duties, public works, agricultural organizations, and religious
denominations of the newly formed St. Joseph County.
The Cleveland /Lynnwood Cemetery is one of the first
established burial grounds in the county. The earliest known
grave marker in the cemetery, that of Maria Miller, daughter of
Elder David and Louisa Miller, is dated February 23, 1834; the
latest known grave marker, that of Catherine Miller, 2nd wife of
Elder David, is dated September 8, 1890.
The following material is a collection of short biographical
notes on the early settlers buried in the Cleveland /Lynnwood
Cemetery as taken from local history texts written largely in the
latter part of the 19th century (see bibiliography).
In 1829, before St. Joseph County was organized, John and
Sarah Hague settled a tract of land on the west side of the St.
Joseph River within what was primarily known as Portage township,
then in the latter part of 1830 as German township, and from 1840
to the present, Clay township. They were among the very first
permanent white settlers in the area. A local history text [2]
claims John Hague plowed the first furrow in the newly formed
German township.
John served as a petit juror on one of the county's first
circuit courts in 1830 and was reappointed to the petit jury the
following year. He died in 1857, Sarah in 1861; both died in
- 14
c
i
Warren township but were returned to German Township's
Cleveland /Lynnwood Cemetery for burial.
Aaron and Elizabeth (Hardman) Miller settled in German
township in 1831. Aaron was born 4/8/1785 in Virginia and moved
with his parents to Ohio in 1800. He married Elizabeth Hardman
in December of 1805; they had 7 sons and 4 daughters. In 1818 he
and his family moved to Wayne Co. Indiana and came to South Bend,
then an unincorporated trading post, in 1829. In 1831 they moved
4 miles north of South Bend and settled section 23 of German
township where David Miller, Aaron's brother, had settled the
previous year.
The Miller brothers were heavily involved in the early
politics of the county. Aaron was the county's second treasurer,
appointed in September of 1831 and held the office through 1833;
David was one of the 1st County Commissioners. He also organized
the first German Baptist congregation in the area and became its
first pastor;. Aaron was one of its first preachers. Aaron died
4/12/1839; Elizabeth died in 1861. Both are buried in the
Cleveland /Lynnwood Cemetery. David Miller is buried in German
Township's Mount Pleasant Cemetery.
John (Sr.) and Eva ( Roof) Cripe- are listed as early settlers
of that part of German township which was later incorporated into
Clay township. In 1830, they settled along the west side of the
St. Joseph River and eventually acquired acreage along both
banks.
John was born August 5, 1798 to farming folk in Pennsylvania.
He married Eva Roof, daughter of Peter and Margaret Roof on
December 26, 1813. They had 12 children. The Cripes moved to
Montgomery County, residing on a farm there until they moved to
St. Joseph County's German township where they entered 380 acres -
of land. Within two years their holdings included approximately
900 acres of land in the County. In 1844, they donated the land
for the burial ground that is referred to in this text as the
Cleveland /Lynnwood Cemetery.
John died in February of 1847 at the age of 58. Soon after,
Eva began to sell off the numerous acres that she and her husband
had acquired. Deed records show land transactions between
herself and Alexis Coquillard, Jacob and David Cripe. Eva died
in December of 1863. Although not currently visible, recent
field surveys [3] attest to the existence of John's grave marker
in the Cleveland /Lynnwood Cemetery. The existence of Eva's
burial site has not been verified by these surveys although a
local history text [41 notes the burial of both John and Eva
within German Township.
Samuel Witter settled in German township in 1831 on section
16 near Mount Pleasant. He was the eldest son of John and Anna
(Mayer) Witter. He married in Union County, Indiana, settling in
Cass County, Michigan in 1830.
Samuel served on the Grand Jury of the St. Joseph Circuit
Court in 1833. He is listed as an incorporator on the roster of
the county's first agricultural society (1841). He was elected
I
director of German township when the society was reorganized in
August of 1851 and again in 1852 and 1856. He was also appointed
to a committee of 3 to work up membership in German Township. He
held the presidency of the society in 1857.
Samuel died in South Bend in January of 1880 and is listed as
buried in the Cleveland /Lynnwood Cemetery.
Jesse and Nancy Frame settled section 22, Portage Prairie
(Warren township) in 1833. They had 7 sons. They were natives
of Virginia, moving to Ohio, then to Wayne County, Indiana in
1821 and finally to St. Joseph County. Their son, Neely,
predated their arrival to St. Joseph County by several years,
settling there in 1830.
In November of 1833, Jesse was appointed by the Board of
County Commissioners along with two other ealy settlers
(including Aaron Miller's brother David mentioned earlier) to lay
out 3 County roads.
Jesse and Nancy died within a month of each other in the
winter of 1865. Both were 78 years of age.
Local history texts [5] conflict on the arrival of Daniel
Wagner and his spouse to the St. Joseph County region. One
source [6] reports the Wagners as settling in section 16 of
German Township as early as 1832. They are documented as buried
in the Cleveland /Lynnwood Cemetery [7]. Mrs. Wagner's grave
marker, however, has not shown up in field surveys done in this
century.
In 1832, John Stutsman settled in section 24 of German
township which later became Clay township. He died December of
1862 at the age of 80 years. A field survey done by the
Daughters of the American Revolution lists a grave marker for
him. Currently, this is not visible.
The grave marker of Union Army soldier David R. Cripe, a
recruit of the 48th Regiment of Indiana, Company B, is located in
the Cleveland /Lynnwood Cemetery. The 48th Regiment of Indiana
consisted largely of St. Joseph County residents. Mustered at
Goshen in December of 1861, the regiment saw action at Corinth,
Iuka, and Vicksburg, serving under Generals Grant and Sherman
throughout its career. In January of 1864, the regiment marched
to Huntsville, Alabama, where it re- enlisted as a veteran
organization and returned home on veteran furlough, reaching
Indianapolis in Early February. The 300 plus veterans were
publicly received and welcomed with speeches by the Governor of
Indianapolis and others [8]. David Cripe's death apparently
occurred during this furlough. Documentation as to the cause of
death has yet to be found. His remains were returned to German
Township and he was buried in the Cleveland /Lynnwood Cemetery;
the grave marker is currently visible and intact.
It is uncertain as to David's relation to the pioneer members
of the Cripe family. John and Eva Cripe had a son named David,
but the no documentation has been found linking this personage to
the Civil War soldier.
6
The Cleveland /Lynnwood Cemetery was the original burial place
of another Union Army soldier, Prosper Wagner, son of William and
Sarah (Nichols) Wagner. The St. Joseph Valley Register, an early
South Bend publication, lists Prosper in its August 28, 1862
paper as a volunteer soldier with the 20th Indiana Battery from
St. Joseph County. A local history text [9] gives the account of
Prosper's illness and stay at a Nashville field hospital until
the end of the war, at which time he returned home only to die
four weeks later.
Prosper's remains were reinterred to Riverview Cemetery in
1908.
Elder David and Louisa (0'Conner) Miller settled in German
Township in 1839. Elder David (no apparent relation to Miller
brothers previouly mentioned) was born in Northumberland County,
Pennsylvania in July of 1806; he was a farmer by trade as well as
a D_unkard (German Baptist) minister. Louisa was born in August
of 1807. They had seven children, two of whom died in early
childhood and are buried in the Cleveland /Lynnwood Cemetery. One
of the markers, that of their, daughter Maria, predates their
arrival to St. Joseph County as documented by a local history
text [10]. Either the marker is honorary in nature or the
printed account of Miller's arrival to the region is inaccurate.
Louisa died prematurely in March of 1843. Within the next
two years, Elder David remarried to Catherine Keltner, who was 18
years his junior. They had nine children by their marriage. One
of their sons, Daniel C., died in early childhood and is buried
at the Cleveland /Lynnwood Cemetery. Elder David died November of
1876, Catherine in 1890. Grave markers are still visible for
Elder David, Louisa, and Catherine.
