n. 11. Carmichael came to Texas from Missouri when he was 14 years old. It was during the Civil War, and he was accompanied by his mother, sister, and others. They came through in an ox-wagon, their destination being Georgetown and Helena, where they had relatives. After the close of the war they returned to Missouri, where Mr. Carmichael finished his education in the Columbia University. When he was 20 years old he came back to Texas, and at Helena bought his first herd of cattle to take "up the trail." In 1873 he came to Bandera to buy cattle, and received at the Jones ranch.
Mr. Carmichael was married October 22, 1876, to Miss Mary E. Risinger of Helena, coming directly to Bandera. They lived for several months with Grandma Hay. mother of George Hay, while waiting for their home to be built, the first home being started where the J. E. Browning home at Medina now stands.
The land on which Medina City is now located was the pasture of Mr. Carmichael at that time. When the new home was almost finished the Indians made a raid between Medina and Bandera, and killed a Mr. Phillips, a brother to Mrs. Buck Hamilton. As there were no near neighbors, he felt it would be unsafe to establish a home there, so the almost finished dwelling was torn down and moved to Bandera, rebuilding it where the home of Lee Risinger now stands. Mr. Carmichael engaged in the mercantile business with George Hay, and acquired an interest in the mill and gin here. The first mill and gin was washed away in 1900. It was then established on the hill and is now the ice plant. He continued in business in Bandera, and was also interested in the firm's branch houses at Ozona and Sanderson, until the break came.
The present Carmichael home was built for his sister and was used as a boarding house. After her second marriage he obtained the property and moved there. It is still the Carmichael home, a grand old colonial mansion, with spacious grounds and stately trees surrounding.
Eight children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Carmichael, two dying in infancy. Lawson the eldest son, died six years ago. Those now living are Hal Carmichael of Sabinal, John Carmichael of Tuscon, Arizona: Mrs. Stanley Lewis of Sabinal, Mrs. M. M. Peters of Many, La.; Gervys Carmichael of Houston.
For several years after he returned to Texas Mr.Carmichael bought and drove cattle to Kansas markets. It was a remarkable fact that on these drives he was younger than most of the men who were working for him. His death occurred nine years ago. Mrs. Carmichael survives him and makes her home with her children.
