The grave is the split — the 'road around' that's the county's answer, the 'shotgun' that's the grandson's guard. The '1831' is the wished — the 'hill' that's the burial's request, the 'Pocahontas kin' that's the bloodline's claim. The 'concrete capped' is the held — the '1912' that's the slab's date, the 'traffic hits' that's the mound's hazard.
The 'exhumed' is the studied — the '2016' that's the dig's year, the 'UIndy' that's the team's school. The 'not Indian' is the corrected — the 'legend' that's the error's form, the 'farmer's wife' that's the woman's truth. The grave is the kept — the 'middle' that's the lane's split, the 'plaque' that's the story's marker.
The file keeps the grave: the split road, the shotgun guard, the studied bones, and the corrected name.
Nancy Kerlin Barnett's grave is the archive's Indiana file — the hill the road couldn't take.

WHY THIS FILE MATTERS
The grave is the archive's Indiana file — the burial that stopped a road.
A grave keeps its hill — the file's suggestion being that the mound's hold is the defended: the 'shotgun' that's the grandson's stand, the 'concrete' that's the county's concession, and the 'exhumed' that's the science's turn.
