1830s–2026 · PEOPLE, NOT JUST INSTITUTIONS
The checklist asks for the people, and the record names them in every era it covers. First generation: Jeremiah (J. H.) Service, storekeeper thirty years and banker; T. L. Borden, storekeeper; George H. Service, merchant-banker-grain dealer. Directory generation, 1916: A. R. Brummitt at the bank's desk and the Brummitt brothers behind the hardware house; Charles G. Fisher and Wm. J. Smith, hotels; Harry Roloff at the Journal; Isaac W. Borden at the dentist's chair; Francis D. Warner at the drug counter; Guy R. Smith and the Zeck brothers in hardware. Modern roll, 2026, at the association's directory strength: Margaret Czarnecki (Moser's Austrian Cafe; Carlisle Coffee & Sweets); Marcy Kauffman (Feeney's Hometown Goods); Michael Kaniewski (Kaniewski Funeral Home); Craig Langhofer (Edward Jones); Kim Huston (Spin City Laundry; real estate); Mary Anne Millar (Zahl's Elevator & Feed Mill); Mindie Colanese (1st Source Bank, New Carlisle Banking Center); Gary Kinney (OmniSource); Scott Swick (Five Star Sheets); Derek Ganshorn (St. Joseph Energy Center). The roster is a directory, not a prosopography: each name is printed at the strength of the roll that carries it, and the century between 1916 and the modern roll is this section's standing thin place, named's note.
