      THOMAS J. CARLISLE,
  
  [p. 640] a representative and substantial citizen of
  Lawrence County, who owns two valuable farms of seventy-five acres each,
  and three houses in Lowellville, has been a resident of Mahoning
  Township since the fall of 1901. He was born in Allegheny County,
  Pennsylvania, August 10, 1854, and is a son of James and Rebecca
  (McMasters) Carlisle, and a nephew of the late B. F. Jones, who was one
  of the leading iron men of Pittsburg.
  
  The maternal grandfather was a very early settler in Allegheny County,
  and at one time owned a large amount of the land on which a part of the
  present city of Pittsburg stands. He was a pioneer innkeeper there and
  conducted the old Eagle Hotel, a well-known hostelry, and the McMasters
  family was identified with much of the early development of that
  section. The Carlisles also were early settlers near Pittsburg, and
  James Carlisle resided almost all his life in the vicinity of Turtle Creek.
  
  Thomas J. Carlisle was educated in the public schools and a private
  school in Jefferson Township, Allegheny County, and when he reached
  manhood chose farming as his occupation in life. On April 9, 1884, he
  was united in marriage with Lynda Philips, who was born February 12,
  1862, at Library, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and is a daughter of
  David and Nancy A. (Allison) Philips. The Philips family originated in
  Wales and is an old established family in Allegheny County. Mr. and Mrs.
  Carlisle have three children: Velma Isabel, who married Joseph E. Pitts,
  a nephew of County Commissioner Pitts of New Castle; Larimer C., who
  resides in Mahoning Township, and Franklin J., who is pursuing his
  studies at the Ohio Northern University at Ada, preparing for mechanical
  engineering. Mr. and Mrs. Carlisle are members of the Mahoning United
  Presbyterian Church, in which he is an elder. Mrs. Carlisle takes much
  interest in the missionary work of the church. In politics he is a
  Republican.
