The Obituary of George Carlyle and Annie Carlyle Submitted by David Lowder

Winchester Sun, Wednesday, November 19, 1902 Death of George Carlyle "One of nature's noblemen died in this city Sunday afternoon, George Carlyle. He was born in Scotland in 1821, and came to this country, when a young man. After traveling over a great part of the country, he settled at Toronto, Ohio where he made the first sewer pipe ever made in the United States, with machinery, of his own design and construction. Forty years ago he was married to Miss Annie Hamilton, of Stuebenville, Ohio. Three children were born to them, George, Jr., who lives at Ashland, and is at the head of the Extensive Fire Clay Works at Olive Hill, in this state; Charles, who is in business at Brazil, Ind., and a married daughter, Mrs. Annie Cockrane, of Erie, Pa. There are six grand-children and this is the first death in the family. Mr. Carlyle retired from business with a competence and selected this city for his home. He was honored and respected by all who knew him. He with his noble wife, worshiped at the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, where the funeral ceremony was held yesterday afternoon, conducted by Eld. J. A. Francis. He was a man of decided convictions, but always a gentleman. He was a Republican in politics and his standard of morality was above that of today. He was a Scotch American gentleman of the old school." From "Early Kentucky Newspapers" Mrs. Annie Carlisle died at her home Wednesday morning of old age. She was the widow of the late George Carlisle, esq., a manufacturer here many years ago who died in 1902. She leaves 2 sons: Mr. George Carlisle of Portsmouth, OH and Charles Carlisle of Albion, IL.; 1 daughter, Mrs. G. W. Cochran of Erie, PA. Funeral will be Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the Washington Street Presbyterian Church with services by Rev. R. R. Murphy. (Note: Last name should be spelt Carlyle not Carlisle.)

Aged and Well Known Woman Dies at an Early Hour Wednesday Morning Mrs. Anne E. Carlyle, one of Winchester's aged and most highly respected women, died at her home on Jefferson street Wednesday morning at 1:20 o'clock following a protracted illness which was due to the infirmities of old age. She was in the eighty-sixth year of her birth and death came as a relief after months of suffering. Mrs. Carlyle, before her marriage to Mr. John Carlyle, was iss Anne Hamilton, of Knoxville, Ohio, and was the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. William Hamilton of that place. A number of years ago Mrs. Carlyle located in Winchester when her husband was engaged in the pottery business, having a large furnace located on the C. & O. tracks, near the city limits, and he followed the pursuit with remarkable success. Mr. Carlyle died about fifteen years ago and since that time his widow has resided in this city. She was well known and had scores of very close friends who regret exceedingly to learn of her death. Mrs. Carlyle was the mother of Mr. G. E. Carlyle, president of the Carlyle Paving Brick Co., of Portsmouth, Ohio, and Mr. Charles Carlyle, also of that city. Both have been at the bedside of their mother for several days and were with her when the end came. Mrs. Carlyle was a member of the Washington Street Presbyterian church, professing faith early in life. She was possessed of a noble character and was an exemplary Christian woman. The funeral services will be held on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Washington Street Presbyterian Church, the services being conducted by Rev. R. R. Murphy, and the burial will take place in the Winchester cemetery. (Note: Annie�s husband�s name is George not John.)
