items 4 and 5 — every lodge by number, or the test printed
The floor's numbered lodges belong to the county seat, and this township's tests come back unnumbered: St. Joseph No. 27 and Monitor No. 286 are South Bend's Odd Fellows lodges, not this ground's; tested lodge by lodge for New Carlisle and Olive Township, no Odd Fellows lodge stands numbered in the record reached — the banked set's one-sentence sweep said as much, and this article prints the test behind the sentence: the gazetteers' society listings and the directory record reached name no Odd Fellows lodge, no Rebekah lodge, no Knights of Pythias lodge, no Uniform Rank company, and no Pythian Sisters' temple for this town at any date. The Rebekahs — the women's degree the floor names — are part of that negative: no Rebekah assembly is recorded for this ground. The deeper settler is named for both orders: the Grand Lodge of Indiana IOOF records and the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias of Indiana records, against which any numbered local lodge would have to stand. Until that read is made, the two orders print at this size: present in the county, numbered in the county seat, and not seated — on the record reached — in this town.
