20th century 10 dated mentions
1900s
- 1900–1963The First National Bank of New Carlisle, 1900–1963
The firm's biography gives the course whole: the private bank was "established in the spring of 1897" in the Brummitt hardware building, A. R. Brummitt cashier, and "continued until 1900, when it was incorporated as the First National Bank of New Carlisle."
- 1903–2026Dealerships — the older record, tested
The horse-trade ground is whole: the Brummitt Mercantile Company's "vehicles" line of 1903, Charles C. Carney's harness shop and S. I. Lauver's livery in the 1916 roll, Ordung & Cunningham's wagonmaking beside them.
- 1906–2026The paper as archive — and the archive that is not there
The Gazette's largest surviving trace is the history it fed: Hugh V. Compton wrote his recollections of Terre Coupee prairie — the settlement country south and west of the town — for the New Carlisle Gazette of 16 November 1906, and Howard's county history lifted them whole into the county's standard record a year later, footnote and all.
- 1907–1934The first interurban: the Chicago, South Bend & Northern Indiana
Howard closed his town chapter in 1907 with the prophecy that "the two interurban railways soon to connect the town with South Bend, on the east and with Laporte, Michigan City and Chicago on the west" would make New Carlisle "one of the most desirable residence towns in the country"…
- 1908–2014The great works fires, as a set
The fires of record: the St. Stanislaus wood church, burned 1908, the parish rebuilding in brick on its ground at Terre Coupee (the Architecture section's ledger carries it); and the K-Fex fire of 2014, in which Assistant Chief Middlebrook died in the line of duty…
- 1908–2024The demolition ledger, whole
(1) The first St. Stanislaus church, wood, 1884, burned in 1908 while serving as the parish school — the township's one church fire of record, its replacement already rising beside it since 1903.
- 1908–2026The disaster set at building granularity
The church, 1908: the wood church of St. Stanislaus at Terre Coupee burned in 1908 — the parish's first building on its ground, replaced in the brick church whose glass the artists addendum gathers (the Architecture section's demolition ledger carries the fire).
- 1909–1947The stained glass gathered: St. Stanislaus's windows as the makers' major local work
What the gathered record does not carry is the makers: no glazier, studio or designer is named for any window in any carrier reached — the commissions print as the parish's work, and the artists' names stand as the article's named residue, settler the parish building records and the dedication coverage of 1909 and 1947.
- 1909–2013Monuments and markers, as built objects
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.
- 1909–2026The park built fabric, whole: memorial, honor roll, grotto, clubhouse
The Civil War Memorial (1909) — the set's anchor object: standing in the southern quarter of the New Carlisle Cemetery, reached from West Michigan Street (U.S. 20) east of County Line Road, inscribed "In Memory Of The Unknown Dead, Soldiers, Sailors And Marines Of The War of the Rebellion, 1861–1865," and erected in…
