1860s
- 1860–2000The Jeremiah Service House, or Old Republic: the town's mansion, 1860–1861
The one house in town with a federal file of its own is the merchant's house at 302 East Michigan Street — a two-story Italianate brick dwelling of 1860–1861, square in plan, crowned with the most recognizable silhouette in New Carlisle: a central cupola topped by a Turkish-style onion dome.
- 1860–2026The Great Houses
The Service House — this section's whole entry: built 1860–61, Italianate, the grain-and-banking family's seat, carried entire in the architecture file with its farm at society strength; its building cost stands in no source reached, and the house prints with its cost unsized, under the head rule.
- 1861–1865The Civil War: the county's frame and the township's committee
On the night of 19 April 1861, at the second great war meeting at South Bend, committees were appointed for every township "to solicit and collect subscriptions to aid in forming and equipping volunteer companies, and to provide for the families of such volunteers as may need assistance."
- 1861–1865The township's soldiers, as the record names them
From Chapman's sketches: Andrew J. Bryant (born 1841), who came to the county in 1861 and enlisted in 1862 in Company F, 94th Ohio Infantry, fought at Murfreesboro (Stones River), and was discharged at the close of the war — an Ohio regiment and an Indiana farm, printed as the sketch gives both.
- 1861–1865One regiment whole: the 29th Indiana, and the township's company tie
The 29th Indiana Infantry was organized at La Porte, in the next county, in August 1861 — a regiment raised from this corner of the state.
- 1864–1865The township's dead: one named, two standing at the record's edge
The one: Michael McDonald , "a pioneer in this county," whose son Perry's sketch states he was "killed in 1864 in the war."
- 1865–1880Fred G. Miller and the Polanders
In 1865, Chapman records, he "imported the first company of 'Polanders' into Indiana," most of them settling in this township's marsh timber; he was "still importing them" in 1880, when about thirty-five families were there, "industriously clearing the marsh timber, and having farms of 20 to 80 acres each."
- 1866Incorporation: the election of 1866
Howard prints the instrument's whole course from the commissioners' record: "On June 7, 1866, Samuel C. Lancaster and thirty-one others filed with the board of county commissioners a petition for the incorporation of the town…
- 1866–2026The president line: the checklist's mayoral line, mapped to a town's office
Before 2008 the line does not run online at all: the presidency and council succession of 1866–2007 stands in the town's minute books and ordinance book, which no pass has read, and in part in the State Board of Accounts' schedules of officials — the instrument that does carry the clerk's line backward in the next article.
- 1868The Christian Church of 1868 — today's Community Christian Church
Early in 1868, Chapman records, Elder Ira J. Chase of Mishawaka "commenced a series of sermons on primitive Christianity" in New Carlisle, at the request of two or three disciples living in the town, assisted first by W. M. Roe, pastor of the Christian Church at Rolling Prairie…
