COL. JOHN B. CARLILE, Sr., member of the firm of Carlile & Litsey,
Lebanon, was born in Green County, Ky., on the 7th of August 1826.  Both
his grandfathers, James Carlile and John Brawner, were soldiers in the
Revolutionary war, soon after which struggle they immigrated to Kentucky,
settling in Green and Adair Counties, James Carlile coming from North
Carolina and John Brawner from Virginia.  To James and Elizabeth Carlile
were born nine children, William B., the father of our subject, being one
of the number.  William B. was born in Green County in 1799; devoted his
life to agriculture, besides serving for several years as sheriff of
Green County.  He married Mary Brawner and had a family of seven children,
John B. being the second.  The latter was reared on his father's farm,
attending the common schools of his neighborhood until sixteen years old,
when he entered the business house of Lewis & Shreve as store boy.  Thus
early in life he began his mercantile career, which has only been broken
for the period during his military and public life.  In 1861 he was
commissioned lieutenant-colonel of the Thirteenth Kentucky Federal
Infantry, serving until the spring of 1863, when loss of health
necessitated his resignation, having shared until then the fortunes of
his command.  He represented Green County in the State Legislature during
the sessions of 1864-65, and in the latter year removed to Lebanon, where
he has since been in active business.  He was married in Green County, in
October, 1864, to Miss Mary Lisle, a daughter of Thomas W. Lile, who
represented Green County in the Constitutional Convention in 1840.
