History and Description of the Remains 

On an unknown date, human remains 

representing, at minimum, one 

individual were removed from a mound 

in LaPorte County, IN. The human 

remains (registration number 6505 CW) 

were acquired by Eugene Davis who, in 

turn, gave the human remains to the 

Chamberlain Memorial Museum in 

Three Oaks, Michigan. The Chamberlain 

Memorial Museum was founded in 

1916, by Mr. Edward K. Warren. In 

September of 1952, Michigan State 

College Museum (now Michigan State 

University Museum) acquired the 

contents of the Chamberlain Memorial 

Museum from Fred P. Warren, President 

of the Board of Trustees of the E. K. 

Warren Foundation. 

The human remains belong to an 

individual of unknown age and sex. No 

known individual was identified. No 

associated funerary objects are present.
