Son of Isaac and Jane Priest Carlile; Husband of Lucinda E. Fisher Carlile; Father of Mabel & Fisher H. Carlile
Isaac Carlile was born May 12, 1857, in a covered wagon in an unknown spot not far from Heber, Utah. He was the eighth child of a family of nine.
His parents had been converted to the Restoration movement by Orson Pratt in England. They came to America expecting to dwell in a Zion but finding the church divided, decided to follow Brigham Young to Utah.
They made the long, torturous trek to Utah during the summer of 1856 and established themselves in Heber. The western church with its polygamous practices was a deep disappointment to the parents and the following spring they decided to go back to Council Bluffs.
Mr. Carlile's mother herself went to the Bishop of Heber and begged to leave the church with her family unharmed. The US army had moved into Utah and they were permitted to do so under protection. It was on the trip back while they were still in Utah that Isaac was born.
Their covered wagon was deserted by the rest of the caravan that moved on for fear of the drunken Indians who were spending the night in war dance ceremonies. Some squaws heard the baby cry and demanded to see the white child. Fearing to anger the Indians, they were permitted to see the baby. The Carliles were immediately offered a papoose in exchange for their infant.
Isaac's early memories were of living in a log house with dirt floors near Council Bluffs. Their only lights were the fireplace and a braided rag drawn through a potato which was placed in tallow.
His parents still retained the strong testimony they had received regarding the movement established by Joseph Smith. When the Reorganization came into existence, they joined it and remained faithful to the church.
Isaac himself joined the church when he was 24 years old, but not until he had read each of the three standard books three times and had received his own testimony of the divinity of this work. While living on a farm not far from Council Bluffs he was ordained an elder.
In 1895 he married Lucinda Fisher. They moved to Lamoni in 1890. Besides his wife, he leaves their two children, Mabel Hyde of Lamoni, Fisher Carlile of Independence, and two grandchildren, Sue Marie and Wayne Carlile.
When he moved to Lamoni he established a paint and cement store and also sold real estate. He served on the town council and laid many of the first cement walks in Lamoni. He himself shingled, painted, and papered the Brick church.
He was always a man of great faith. He loved the church and had many wonderful testimonies to bear regarding the Reorganization. The earliest memories of his children were of home conversations regarding the gospel. They were taught Bible and Book of Mormon stories from childhood. When 9 o'clock came the family knelt in evening devotions no matter who was there.
He was called for many administrations in his younger days and seemed to have the gift of healing. His daughter says she was instantly healed under his hands many times. When the terrible flu epidemic of 1918 came, he was seldom home. Night and day he was administering to and sitting up with the sick and dying.
He had a remarkable gift for memorization and could quote long passages of Scripture at will. To his last days, the family would ask him where certain passages of Scriptures could be found and he always knew. About five years ago, he completed his thirteenth reading of the Bible.
He passed quietly away in the home of his daughter and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hyde at 9 a.m. Wednesday, April 21. Had he lived until May 12 he would have been 98.
Funeral services were conducted at the RLDS church Friday, April 22, with Robert Farnham and James Thomas officiating. Interment was in Rose Hill cemetery.
