1850s
- 1850–1860The antebellum Black community, counted and named: twenty-nine in the county, none on this ground — and that is a count, not a silence
The count, whole: The 1850 census — the count this build's Population leg prints whole — enumerates twenty-nine free colored residents in St. Joseph County, seated in Centre, Penn, Portage and Union townships and in South Bend.
- 1850–1860The antebellum Black community counted: twenty-nine people, none in these townships, and the offers made to them
The count, as banked and re-verified against the census volume: the Seventh Census (1850), Table II, returns Clay Township 659 people and Harris Township 437, and returns both townships entirely white.
- 1850–1940The Census Series, as Used
The historical volumes on census.gov divide by their machinery: the 1850, 1880, 1900, 1910, 1930-state and 1950 parts carry OCR text layers, scrambled exactly where it matters — in the two-column minor-civil-division tables…
- 1850–1951Kamm & Schellinger of Mishawaka
Cross-reference, at pointer size as the checklist orders, never retold: the neighbouring city's house is the Kamm and Schellinger Brewery of Mishawaka — founded by John Wagner (the brewing record gives the founding as 1850…
- 1850–2020The frame's long run: Clay and Harris townships, 1850–2020
The Seventh Census of 1850 is the first to print the two townships by name (Table II, population by subdivisions of counties): Clay Township held 659 people (368 males, 291 females) and Harris Township 437 (216 males, 221 females — a female majority on a frontier township's page).
- 1850–2024Composition, as each census printed it
The place's printed composition begins as a single line: in 1850 the townships were returned as entirely white (the county's 29 free colored residents lived elsewhere in it, as the township article prints), and for most of the record the counts that follow barely move.
- 1851–1920Suffrage whole: the Indiana course, the county frame, and the tested local negative
The course, instrument by instrument: Indiana's suffrage movement is among the nation's earliest — its first women's rights convention met in 1851, three years after Seneca Falls, and Indiana suffragists presented the legislature's first petition for the ballot in 1859.
- 1851–1920Suffrage whole: the county frame, the editor, and the candidate the court ended
Granger has no mayor, no council, and in the suffrage years no village organization — so this item's true-size form is the county movement whole, tested for any woman of this ground inside it: Indiana's movement opened in 1851 (Amanda Way's Winchester convention; the Indiana Woman's Rights Association at Dublin).
- 1852–1972The saloon era as a trade, tested: the keepers owned the brewery — in South Bend
Its senior house was the Muessel brewery of South Bend, begun in 1852 by Christopher Muessel (1812–1894, born at Arzberg in Germany), rebuilt in brick from 1865 west of Portage Avenue, incorporated as the Muessel Brewing Company in 1893, and run on the classic tied pattern: Standard and Bavarian sold in barrels to the…
- 1852–2026The first lodge whole, and the two out-of-county seats township men actually joined
The first lodge whole is Mishawaka's: organized 26 May 1852, A. L. 5852, with the organization officers Chapman and Howard agree on word for word — R. S. Alden, W.M.; D. H. Smith, S.W.; J. Holdridge, J.W.; J. E. Hollister, treasurer; T. S. Cowles, secretary; A. C. Foot, S.D.; W. M. Wood, J.D.; A. L. Brimsmaid, Tyler.
- 1853–2026The auto-corridor big screen, and the cinema inside the brewery
The cinema inside another industry's building is the 100 Center Cinema : the Kamm & Schellinger Brewery at 100 Center Street, Mishawaka — brewery buildings from 1853 onward, brewing ended about 1951 — was converted in 1968 into the 100 Center entertainment and retail complex, with a cinema inside the brewery as one of its founding uses.
- 1853–2026Long studios in succession: the floor's chain, the nearer dynasty, and the townships' empty column
Baden or Württemberg, 1830; in Allen County by 26 December 1849) advertised daguerreotypes at one dollar to close out stock in October 1853; the 1860 census lists him as a book binder…
- 1855The successor line: the Bank of the State of Indiana, 1855–1864
Howard (1907), §16: "On March 3, 1855, a charter had been obtained for a bank to be known as the Bank of the State of Indiana, with a capital of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, to begin business on the expiration of the charter of the old bank.
- 1855–2026The federal line, in two runs
Run one, the founding generation, is a boundary run and prints at boundary size: the seat that held this county ground in Congress was South Bend's, and its holder was Schuyler Colfax…
- 1856–2025Later Orders: Moose, Eagles, Prince Hall and the Klan Era
The grand lodge itself was established 16 September 1856.
- 1856–todayThe station that wasn't: the Talley house and the Underground Railroad claim
Alfred Talley, born 1809, a printer from Chicago, bought 232.24 acres in Clay Township in 1856 from the widow of the farmer Samuel Brooks; the Brooks family's burying ground — the Tutt-Stuckey Cemetery, still on the brow of the hill between Juniper and Ironwood…
- 1857The diocese over the parish: Fort Wayne–South Bend
St. Pius X stands inside a diocese older than the township's churches: the Diocese of Fort Wayne was erected on January 8, 1857, by Pope Pius IX, carved from the Diocese of Vincennes, which had held all Indiana until then, with John Luers as its first bishop.
- 1858–1925Women of the trade, and the newcomers' studios
Almira Benham's Ladies Picture Gallery of 1858 (art-63-1) is the floor's founding entry: a woman's gallery run as a business in its own name, in rooms a male daguerreian had just vacated.
- 1858–2019The Enterprise, on Film at MPHPL
Its standing, from this build's experience: the film's existence and span (1858–2019) are holdings facts, printed from the library's own list.
