The chapter on Olive Township in History of St. Joseph County, Indiana :, published 1880 names New Carlisle. This is what it says, exactly as the scans read.
Among the oldest settlers of Olive township we may mention that man of great memory, Mr. Barvilla Drnliner, of New Carlisle, who was born July 7, 1807; Joseph Adams and wife, of section 31, the oldest couple now living in the township. Mr. A. made his start in the West by splitting rails, at 50 cents per 100, while boarding himself lie has made as many as 500 rails in one day. The young men uf to-day would as soon try Dr. Tanner's experiment of fasting iO days as to make 500 rails in one day. Jacob Kush, who was born in Ohio in 1806, is now living on section 36, one of our oldest pioneers. He held tiie plow for the first furrow ever turned in this township, and he also helped to i-aise the first cabin here, which belonged to his brotiier Israel Hush, who was afterward the first Justice of the Peace, and died in 1837. Jacob is still a lively and energetic man. Asher White was a boy of only 16 years of age when he came here in 1830. His biography is given more in full on a subsequent page.
This part of Indiana was surveyed in 1830 by "William and Noah Brock, the latter running the base lines, and the former dividing the land into sections; and this township received its name in honor of the wife of Charles Vail. She is still living in New Carlisle. Mr. v., who settled here in 1830, was alterward elected County Judge. After the survey of the township, the first Justice of the Peace acted as County Commissioner until the regular annual election.

New Carlisle, the town this property stands in, in 19 storm reports between 1996 and 2024: 12 thunderstorm wind, 4 hail, 1 tornado, 1 flood.
No death or injury is recorded in these reports. Each account below is quoted exactly as the forecast office
filed it, from the NOAA Storm Events Database, and each date
opens the federal record of that event.
Local residents south of New Carlisle reported seeing a funnel pass over several rows of trees, causing some damage to the tree tops. The funnel subsequently touched down in an open field and moved rapdily east. A section of an irrigation system was twisted and destroyed in an open field. In addition, strong winds entered an open barn area resulting in much of the roofing material being removed. The winds also weakened the supports causing partial structural failure to a lean-to. A combine in the lean-to sustained some damage. A large tree also fell onto the residence causing some roof damage. Debris was thrown a few hundred feet into an open field. It appears that the tornado lifted shortly after affecting the residence. No injuries occurred with the brief touch down. The irrigation system damages has been estimated at $13,000. Damage estimates to the house and barn are to be determined.
