From the 1887 History of Vernon County,
Missouri. Brown & Co., p. 888:
|
| JOHN W. CARLILE |
| (Farmer and Stock-raiser,
Section 23, Post-office Little Osage). |
|
Among other enterprising
agriculturists of the northern portion of the county is John W. Carlile,
who was born in Hampshire county, Va., October 20, 1832. His
father, Archibald Carlile, a native of the same county, was of Scotch
ancestry, and by occupation a farmer. John's mother before her
marriage was Miss Sarah Zull, a Virginian by birth, but of German
origin. John W. was the oldest of 10 children, and as such was
kept busily occupied in attending to duties about the home farm, a
calling with which he became familiar in a very early day. He was
reared in Ohio, his parents having removed to Champaign county, that
State, when he was six years old, and there his home continued to be
until during the war, when he enlisted in the 62d Ohio volunteer
infantry, serving for a year, when he was honorably discharged.
Re-enlisting in the 156th Ohio, he continued in service until the close
of the war, participating in a number of hard-fought battles, among
which were Chatman Farm fight, Mill Spring, etc., going through as a
member of the Army of the James until the surrender of Lee at
Appomattox. After the war closed Mr. Carlile returned to Ohio,
remaining occupied at his old calling until 1879, when he came to this
county, and here he has since occupied an enviable place among the
progressive, go-ahead citizens of the community. He is the owner
of 164 acres of land and is cultivating it in a manner above reproach.
January 29, 1863, Mr. C. married Miss Electa E. Faulkner, of Madison
county, O., and daughter of Hiram F. Falkner and wife, who were marred
(sic) April 20, 1837. Five sons and three daughters have blessed
this union, and five of the number still survive: Sarah Elizabeth,
William H., Alandon, Amy and George Irwin. Three are deceased:
Oscar, Daisey and Joseph W. Mr. C. is a member of the G.A.R.
He belongs to the United Brethern Church, in the affairs of which he
takes active interest.
