Individual Notes
• [He] engaged in the lumber business, owning a large sawmill and five thousand acres of excellent timber at the mouth of the Sunfish Creek, in Pike County, Ohio, on the Ohio Canal. After the great fire of 1852, Mr. Carlisle sold the majority of the lumber and aided materially in rebuilding Chillicothe. He sold out in 1854 and spent several years in traveling and prospecting.
During the War of the Rebellion, he was appointed from the ranks by Governor Dennison, of Ohio, to an honorable position with the Thirty-first Ohio Volunteer Infantry, continuing until the close of the war.
After the war he was engaged in the wholesale grocery business at Chillicothe and Cincinnati, Ohio, with a branch store at Memphis, Tenn., supplying the five Government hospitals with food. He closed out the grocery business in 1867, and in 1876 engaged in the flouring and milling business at Worthington, Minn. In this adventure, through endorsing for others, financial reverses overtook him, and retiring from active business, he removed with his family to Cleveland, Ohio, and in 1894 removed to Evanston, Ill., in order to complete the education of his youngest son and to establish a home for two of his sons who had located in Chicago. In 1900 his sons, whose business associations made it necessary to locate in the East, concluded upon establishing themselves at Buffalo, and early in the spring of 1901 the family went to Buffalo, N. Y., to live.1206, p 8
• Estate probated without a will.
Value of Meade’s personal property did not exceed one hundred dollars. This is followed by:
“The said decedent seized of none real estate situated within the State of New York, and that the estimated value thereof does not exceed none dollars.”1291
