Monuments and markers, as built objects

1909–2013

The town's smallest architecture is its most deliberate: the objects it built to be read. First by date is the Civil War Memorial of 1909, erected by Deacon Relief Corps No. 48 in the southern quarter of the New Carlisle Cemetery — a relief corps' monument in the ground it served, dug in the cemeteries leg and entered here as the town's one true monument of the classical kind. Then the markers: the DAR's tablet of 1965 at the Hamilton church site, a bronze text on the township's first sacred ground; the Indiana Historical Bureau's Hamilton Church Cemetery marker of 2013, the state's own sign in the state's own format; the Bourissa marker, carrying the scholar-grant story at the town's origin point; and the Lincoln Highway and Death Crossing marker, newest of the family, carrying the corridor's glory and its grief in one casting. The marker index for the cemetery's vicinity carries two more in-town objects at its own strength — a "New Carlisle Founded" marker and a New Carlisle World War II Honor Roll — printed here at the index's strength and no stronger. Every one of these objects was photographed for the marker database by its contributors — the cemetery memorial and the Hamilton markers by Duane Hall, in 2014 — and those photographs are contributor-copyrighted: they stand's image list as TERMS-CHECK candidates, their rights as the database states them, pulled by no one until the photo pass clears them.
