item 3 — Royal Arch, commandery, and the Eastern Star
The town's seated lodge is Terre Coupee Lodge No. 204, carried in the civic register; around it, the appellate bodies of the floor's pattern — a Royal Arch chapter at either of its numbers, a commandery whether seated here or across the river in the neighbouring city — stand unaddressed in the grand-body records reached for this section, and no chapter or commandery is asserted for this ground. What can now be printed in a fragment, for the first time, is the Eastern Star's dated line, recovered by the NC-4 pass and until now standing only in its note: an Order of the Eastern Star chapter stood exempt at New Carlisle in September 1972 — the order's local presence proven at exemption-record strength, its chapter name and number not carried in the line as recovered. The residue is banked plainly: the chapter's name and number, and the Royal Arch and commandery tests at full strength, wait on the Grand Lodge, Grand Chapter, and Grand Commandery records of Indiana, named here as settlers.
