Thomas Carlisle born in Scotland and reared in one of the shires in England.[A clue? This is the only place I have seen this information.]
I do not know what the relationship was but think he must have been the father
of Daniel Carlisle [Daniel Carlisle 1738-1794] given below.

Daniel Carlisle born in West Moreland County, New Hampshire in 1767 died
was married to Zipporah Wheeler born 1772, died 1821. [Other family papers say 1831.] Their children were
1. Daniel Carlisle born 1797
2. Betsy Carlisle born 1800.
3. Mahalia [Mahala]Carlisle born 1802.
4. Relief Carlisle born 1803.
5. Charlotte Carlisle born 1805.
6. Elvira [or Elvina] Carlisle born 1807.
7. Clarissa Carlisle born 1810.
8. Fanny Carlisle born 1811.

Isaac Ashley Carlisle (my father) always said on the irish side his great,
great grandfather Carlisle was High Sheriff and a Tory in the Revolution. [I think this would refer to Ashley's great grandfather, Daniel Carlisle 1738-1794 who was a Constable and a Captain in the Revolution.]

Daniel Carlisle and Hannah Lewis Glover (his 2nd wife, sister of his first wife)
were married in 1852 and had 1 child, Arabelle born in 1857. Arabelle was mar-
ried to Walter Osborn and had Arabelle, Leah, Charlotte and Carlisle.
Daniel Carlisle with his first wife wife Louisa Lambert Glover ran an inn in New
York State. Before 1940 [sic] they moved to Edwardsburg, Mich. and ran a hotel
there and Mary and Ashley were born there. Then they moved to a farm at LaGrang
where Fannie was born. Later he with his 2nd wife moved to Buchanan on a farm
south of town where Arabelle was born in 1857. Then they moved to Buchanan on
2nd St. (now Dewey Ave.) where their house was burned with part of the town.
They then bot the Main St. house in 1863 where Daniel died in 1872. Hannah
died in 1906 at Arabelle's in Council Bluffs, Iowa and was brot to Buchanan
for burial in Oak Ridge Cemetery.
Lillie Dale Warren born 1866 died 1885 of Gallopping Consumption. She was rais-
ed but not adopted by Hannah and is buried on the family Carlisle lot in Oak
Ridge Cemetery.

Memorial Day Tradition

From a letter written by Tamerson Carlisle Binns. She was talking about my great-grandfather, Isaac Ashley Carlisle.

My father was a loyal American & I do not think he ever for one minute felt but what it was his duty to serve it. I remember he talked with scorn about the young men who did not want to serve & bot their way free by paying someone to serve in his place. It used to be a common thing in those days. He was proud of his service for his country and as long as he was able insisted on marching to the cemetery on Memorial day & carrying the flag. He carried flowers for the many soldiers graves not only to our big cemetery but to the many outlying, small cemeteries & he also took flags along for them. As he grew older he found it better to visit the outside graves the day before. We always met with the wives & others interested in preparing the boquets & making them enough to go for each grave. Later years they gave up decorating each grave except for a flag & father was the only one who knew where they all were so he did it & later years took a Legion Vet. around to show them how and where.

Elizabeth Warner Camfield, 26 Dec 1912

In this letter Libbie thanks Anna for the Christmas gifts they received. Anna was still making rugs and Libbie seemed quite happy with the one she was given:

They were all nice but the rug was is very nice and will last a good many Christmases and be looked at every day in between!

The photos from the Warner's 50th aniiversary had finally arrived and Libbie wasn't thrilled with them. She said she was enclosing one, however there is nothing like the one she describes in my file. I will include her description in hopes that it helps someone that does have a copy.

The first man next to Fred is brother-in-law Bert Bidwell, the one a little back of him Bert Harris, and next to him is his son Howard. his chin is cut off by sister Albie Bidwell's head. Next to her stands my oldest sister who lives in Neb., then is sister-in-law Mattie, at whose house Uncle + Father slept. her husband >Boltie stands behind her but you wouldn't reconize him if you could see him plainly because he shaved his mustache last spring and looks like "Abe Lincoln"! Sister Ola Harris stands next to Mattie then Ma's only niece, from Wis. is next her. The big man next and woman are friends, next man is a nephew of Pa/s. his wife is beside him. Brother Lawrence is next man with his wife in front, beside her is a friend, then is sister-in-law Jennie where Daniel and Fred slept. Perhaps Daniel will recognize the last one named friend as the school ma'am at Raymond's! Raymond is the next man, sister Aurie is the short one under his chin! Next to Raymond's shoulder is a cousin from Ohio her father sits in front of Aurie and her mother, the woman beside him with dark waist, the putside man, sitting, is from Ohio too, also the 2 old ladies sitting next to Ma. The next to last man standing is cousin nephew of Ma's, his wife stands in front of him, (the little woman) the two large ladies and remaining man are friends. Pa's brother sits next to him with his wife beside him, then Pa's sister, then the Ohio cousins of Ma's already mentioned. The woman next to me is a friend, and the one next to her should have sat next to Ma for she is Ma's brother's wife, the Mrs. Ruple, whose husband was the undertaker when Grandfather died, and she is the only living person, I believe, who witnessed Pa's + Ma's marriage. Probably Boltie's girl is the only one of the children you saw, she is the smallest of the two girls in front of Pa. The "tags" on us are soveniers pinned on after each had eaten to "tell who had eaten and who not"!!!

Elizabeth Warner Camfield, 22 Nov 1912

In her next letter Libbie says that photos from the "Golden Wedding" haven't been received yet but promises to pass one along when they come. She was sending along a picture of her son, Earl. I do not know if the picture below was the one sent but it was taken c. 1911 or 1912 and appears to have been taken by his father, Fred, at home.

Photo of R. Earl Camfield, 

scanned by Apple from the collection of W. D. Carlisle.

Also in the letter Libbie wrote:

Mamie has written to you since the operation so I need only to say he was still doing finely yesterday. The Dr. who performed the operation said that then yesterday, "it is perfect and when you say perfect it can't be beat." Doesn't it seem wonderful? how glad we'll all be for him to be able to talk as he should.

There was no letter from Mamie in the 1912 file so I'm glad that Libbie mentioned this. See Mary Frances Carlisle's letter of 26 Nov 1910 for the beginning of the story.

Elizabeth Warner Camfield, 21 October 1912

Libbie's letter was written from Chicago the day after her mother, Laura M Warner, wrote hers to Anna. I found it humorous that she wrote:

Ma will write to you when she gets around to it but its rather hard and she slow for her to write and many to write to, so don't think you are forgotton if it is a little long in coming.

Libbie told of her parents 50th wedding anniversary as follows:

Now Aunt Ann I will try to tell you a little about the Golden Wedding, it began raining Tues. P.M. and kept it up at intervals till Fri., on Wed. it rained at the time people were coming then stopped till after dark, but we had a nice time nevertheless but it probably kept some from going, they expected about 75 but 56 were there I believe. My sister from Neb. included, so that all of the immeadiate family were the together, the first time since Earl was a baby. Four grandchildren were absent, three in Neb. and Earl did not want to leave school so he stayed here, we had our pictures taken and will send you a postal one when we get them, have the same as the postal in large size, also one of just the family. She thot you might like one of the postals. Six of Ma's relatives (cousins) from Ohio were there, one lady's birthday was the following Fri. she was 78. we helped her celebrate it Raymond's. (where Daniel stayed you know). One of her cousins and his wife who were there expect to celebrate their Golden Wedding next Aug. A neice of Ma's from Ohio and a sister of Pa's from Ind. were also there. They rec'd $47.50 in money, Bert Harris said he'd make it $50.00, besides several other things, yours was appreciated as much as any I think. The towel was exceptionally nice we all thot, it was different than anything there because of the "W", except a sofa pillow top sent by our cousin in this city she had 1862 - 1912 worked on it. Some common bordered towels were given, but looked very little beside the other things, which were a fancy cup and saucer gilt lined, a table spread worked in yellow and bows of yellow ribbon on corners, a large box of home made candy, a large glass table set, all gilt. a silver spoon with gold bowk, siver salt + pepper shakers the top of the salt being gold, a fern, a large picture with gilt frame, I guess that was all only - for few - a box of gold dust but it had attached to it a little bag of yellow silk containing a $5.00 gold piece.

She also talked of having visited Pleasant Hill cemetery and the white roses planted on the family graves there. There was some quick news of the family's health, photos that had been taken, sewing and the weather.

Public Service of Hannah L. Carlisle.
On the outbreak of the War of the Rebellion (Civil War) Daniel Carlisle was not
able to enter the military service of the coountry on account of disabliity
from poor health and old age. His wife Hannah L. Carlisle who was intensely
patriotic felt it her duty to take his place. Accordingly she volunteered as a
nurse and left her home Nov. 14, 1861 for St. Louis where she was assigned to
Post Hospital No. 1 at Columbus, Ky. Just before this she had charge of a Hos-
pital Boat for a few weeks and as the boat was leaky she worked in water to her
knees for 10 days or more. She remained at Post Hospital at Columbus until the
close of the War except for two months when she was stationed at the hospital
at Paducah, Ky. Her daughter Arabelle was with her at Columbus for about two
years and was in the hospital with her mother when the Confederates bombarded
the City, her mother having refused to leave the sick and wounded in her charge,
when advised to leave on account of the danger of capture by the Confederates.
After the close of the War Hannah entered the Freedman's Department of Superin-
tendents & Teachers & served in this capacity until July 3, 1886. As she re-
ceived a Nurse's pension in later years her recird of service can readily
be found in the Archives of the Pension Dept. at Wash. D.C.

P.S.
Buchanan is a much larger place than I thought it was thanks for the View you dont live very far from Main St or the farm either its a nice little walk.

April 2nd 1912

Dear Aunt Anna: -

I think spring is here at last and I am not sorry it was certainly lovely out today. Uncle Ashley will be planting corn soon.

Frank was here last week. I was surprised to see him. I went to the dorr but couldn't imagine who it was. I never would have know him, he is so changed. we had a good visit. Ben looks small beside of him. I never saw anyone change so. I certainly was glad to see him.

I have had two letters in the last week from Lenora's sister in Niles she wrote to tell me Lenora wasn't expected to live and her mother has gone there, "Hanford, Conn." so I am expecting bad news from there any time

Page 2

she has two lovely children it is to bad to leave them. I hope to live to see Vera grown and able to look out for herself. I am so thankful mother lived to raise her family, one has much to be thankful for.

Frank says he is homesick for Buchanan I expect the day will come when he will settle there, then you will have your family all near you. I expect you will like that. I told him I would make him a call when he moved there I would like to see his family, I never could picture him as a married man and even now it soesn't seem real to me. he has some good old fashioned ideas it really did me good to talk to him Mother worte and told me about you being caught in the storm. How is Tamerson and babies? give her my love.

Must close now. Love to all.
Mabel

I believe Lenora was a friend of Mabel's.

Dear friend Carlisle

The expression you made to ___ ___ you would take your ____ as to the future state has been in my mind very much and I have thought I would write you how I view the matter.

I take it by that expression that you so not believe the Bible for certainly no person who does believe the Bible would make such a statement that being a fact you make a mistake in using the word chances for there is but one chance for you and that is eternal darkness wheather in nihelation or in concuresness. But my dear friend I want to tell you that there is One God who is infinite in

page 2

goodness infinite wisdom and infinite power and do you realize that by disbelieveing the Bible you make him a liar for he says that it is his Word in which he has declared the truth concerning himself and family. Thad by unbelief which is the greatest sin man can commit and disobedience mankind have seperated themselves from him which is an eternal seperaion with all that is implied by figures made use of in the Bible to discrube it

But he shows us this unbounded goodness toward us by preparing a way through repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ by which we may be

page 3

reconciled unto him: be born again, become a new creation morally and by a life of righteousness be made by his power and through his grace be made heir to eternal life whith all the glory that his word discribes.

Friend we may never meet again in this world but it is certain that we shall all appear at the judgement bar of God and as one who knows by an experience that there is One God and that the Bible is his word and that he has revealed himself to the world in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ I could not free myself from the obligation to give you warning and an exhortation to except

page 4

Jesus Christ as your Saviour for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved ' Acts 4.12

Hopeing that these lines may be taken in a friendly manner I subscribe myself as your well wisher and one who feels an interest in the welfare of all mankind

Yours respectfully

Marshall C Warner

P.S. My best respects to your wife and family we would be very glad to hear from you again.

M. C. W.

Marshall was the husband of Laura Ruple Warner. See yesterdays letter for more details.

Its very pleasant today.

Hope to hear from you again. from Your friend well wishes Laura M Warner

Laura M Ruple Warner was the mother of Elizabeth "Libbie" Warner Camfield. Libbie was married to Anna's nephew, Fred Camfield and I believe that is why the letter is addressed to "Aunt Ann." Laura and Anna were contemporaries and I do not believe that they had a closer family relationship than that. The Warner family were friends and neighbors of Anna's parents, Michael & Sarah Ann Camfield. Boltis was Laura's son.

Amanuensis Monday, hosted by John Newmark at Transylvanian Dutch.

*************************

Three branches of my family were all in Ontario County, New York in the early 1800's, with the Hall's and Glover's settling in the town of Phelps at Oaks Corners. In celebration of the town's centennial the Phelps Citizen ran many pieces about the early history. I have been transcribing items as I have time. Other transcriptions may be found here.

Reminiscences of Oaks Corners and Vicinity.

(By Mrs. Philomela Cooper Wright.)

At the beginning of the present century the most imposing structure in western New York, was known as :Oaks Stand." It was a grand hotel for those times, and was as well known from Albany to Buffalo as any of the best hotels of the present time. Although not a temperance house, it was always quiet and orderly and no drunken brawls were allowed to disturb the rest of the many weary travelers who found ample accommodations at this famous hostelry.

Closely allied to the hotel and quite as well known, was the race course. Here were assembled every year some of the most noted running horses of Pennsylvania, New York, some of the southern States, and Canada. The races were continued from four to six days. The immense crowds in attendance were composed of every grade of humanity, from the genteel sportsman down to the lowest debauches. There were dog fights and cock fights among brutes in human form also. What would seem very incongruous, the racing ground was closely adjoining the church, the "old meeting house," the first church building erected in western New York. Speeding around the one mile course, the horse with his rider, passed within three rods of the building. South of the church, nearly in direct line to the point now occupied by the railroad depot, and extending west to the public road, was the common, occupied during the races by tin peddlers and hucksters. On the race ground was also held "general training." All able bodied men between 18 an 45 years of age, were required to assemble at this place annually for military drill, lasting three days. This was a proud time for the boys, who were delighted with the gay uniforms and the music of the fife and drum.

The first building north of the church was occupied by Benjamin Hartwell, a carpenter, John and Jacob Sheckles, brothers, lived on the farm occupied many years by the late Hiram Armstrong. They also owned land adjoining, extending north to the east and west public road. Lemuel Bannister lived on the west side of the road, and owned a large farm. Many years ago he built a large brick house which he occupied until his death, and where some of his descendants still live. Ashel Bannister, a brother of Lemuel, lived on the adjoining farm north. The building in which he lived and kept a tavern for many years, is yet standing. It is the first building west of the residence of John B. Armstrong on the opposite side of the road. Next west was the home of Gen. Philetus Swigy, farmer and owner of the Swift flooring and saw mills. These mills were operated by the General and his successor Henry Swift, until the year 1857 and have since been known as Barlow's mills. General Swift was prominent in the war of 1812.

On, leading south from Oaks Corners, was a small house where Alpheus Lang a shoemaker lived. On the east side of this road, lived Benoni Grover, south of Grover lived David Northam, a farmer who it is said, taught the first school in district No. 1. Opposite on the west side of the road lived Alex. Glover, Sr. Next we come to the old brick school house, around which cluster many pleasant memories not unmixed with sadness. Of the fathers, it may be said where are they! And the few that remain of the children and youth, are the grandfathers of today. Opposite the school house, and a little further south lived Capt. Nathaniel Merrill, a soldier in the war of 1812, and was wounded in the battle at Sodus, N. Y. Major Joseph Hall lived on the next farm, since known as the Chester Webster farm. Opposite thus was the farm of Col. Elias Coat, now known as the Kirtland farm. The next house on the west side of the road was the home of Enoch Eddy, a carpenter. He sold the place many years ago to Theodore Swan who is still living on the same house. Pne mile south of Oaks Corners, is what is known as Simmons Corners. Here Abram Simmons kept a tavern and owned a farm. The old building is yet standing. Osee Crittenden lived at Simmons’ Corners, a little west of the tavern. David Boyd, the father pf James, Hugh and David Boyd, and Jonathan Crittenden and William Clise lived on adjoining farms south of Simmons; Corners.

West of Oaks Corners on the hill, Thaddeus Oaks owned a tenant house, now occupied by Dr. G. H. Church. The next house on the north side of the road, was the home of Charles Crandall. Daniel Trowbridge lived on the opposite side of the road. Mr. Crandall was a carpenter, and Mr. Trowbridge a cooper. Dr. Joel Prescott, 2d. West of the corners was the farm of John Taylor; west of Taylor’s farm was Abner Bigelow. On the road leading north was Dr. Joel Prescott, 1st, Esq. Stearns, Capt. Hall, Thomas Kelley, Caleb Phillips and Abram Yosburg, in the order named. On the road leading south from Dr. Prescott’s, was the home of Jacob Cooper. Bela Wetmore lived in the next house and owned a large farm. On the road leading east from Oaks Corners, James Pullen lived, I think he was a shoemaker. The house in which he lived, was, for many years, at a later period, the home of Dr. John Spaisbury. Joseph P. Tower, a blacksmith, lived in the house now occupied by John Calu. Samuel Cross lived and died on the farm which is still the home of his descendants, known as the John Cross farm. The next farm east was owned by John Wooden, farmer and tavern keeper. One mile farther west, was another tavern kept by William Howell.

Dear Aunt Anna:-

It is just a week since I received your letter and I was certainly surprised when I read it. then I received one from Mother telling me about the girls seeing you at the depot. We had a terrible blizard here about that time I hope you wen't out in it I can't relize that poor grandma has gone I know she was ready to go. I expect it is lonesome at your place with out her. you have been used to having some one there, as long almost, as I can remember. it will seem strange to just have your own family. Are you folks all well? This seems to be our month as many things have have happened in February. This has been a very cold winter and O will be glad when spring comes again eggs are 40 cts a dozen they were as high as 45 cts. butter is 38 ct. I dont suppose you have to pay that much. I must close now write when you can . Love to all Mabel

Elizabeth Warner Camfield, 23 Feb 1912

The next letter was from Libbie. She expressed regret that due to her pregnancy she did not attend Sarah Ann Camfield's funeral. One of Sarah Ann's dress was to go to her and she was planning to make it over into a skirt. She also asked how Tamerson Carlisle Binns' pregnancy was going.

Local news mentioned:

Oh, O almost forgot to tell you I rec'd a letter from, she who used to be, Gladys Spero, (of course you know her name from Grandma + us) while Fred was gone, saying her husband has been offered the position of Supt. of the school in your town, his name is Siebel; she wanted to know about the town, so of course I praised the place telling her all 3 of us are in love with it.
