At the time the Carlisle Military Academy was in existence, the
buildings consisted of the old Administration Building, later Fish Hall and
now torn down and replaced by the modern Davis Hall, three barracks for
cadets, the South Barracks being a residence for the superintendent and the
mess hall and quarters for thirty cadets, the East barracks was a brick one-
story building located just east of what is now College Avenue, and the West
Barracks which housed thirty cadets and was located on the east side of
Yates Street. All these buildings have since been removed and replaced by
newer buildings.
During his life, Mr. Carlisle was Superintendent of the Whitesboro
Public Schools, Superintendent of the Corsicana Public Schools,
Superintendent of the Fort Worth Public Schools, and three times
Superintendent of Public Instruction for the state of Texas.
When Carlisle died on July 21, 1922, many tributes were paid him.
Officials at Austin at that time upon learning of his death, ordered the
flag on the Stat Capitol to be placed a half-mast. State Superintendent S.
M. N. Marrs, when asked later by the National Education Association to name
three men that, in his opinion, had done most for the educational system of
Texas, replied by giving the names of Mirabeau B. Lamar, Oscar Cooper, and
James M. Carlisle. Many others named Carlisle as the outstanding leader and
thinker of the day.
Dr. Carlisle advocated the uniform textbook law, and the legislature
passed a bill to that effect during his administration as State
Superintendent. He recommended that the state furnish the books for the
children, and he lived to see this law enacted. A state course of study was
issued for the first time during his administration and stricter certificate
laws were secured. He also advocated state supported schools for all
children, giving the rural children the same advantages as those enjoyed by
the city youngsters. One acquaintance of Professor Carlisle said about
Carlisle's educational theories, "Professor Carlisle was twenty years ahead
of his time in his educational ideas and plans; he was a great leader and a
deep thinker."
While living in Arlington, Carlisle lived at the Academy and attended
the Presbyterian Church.
Mrs. Carlisle's first husband was George Franklin Sturgis of Hillsboro,
and following his death she married James Carlisle. Sturgis owned the first
bank in the city of Hillsboro which was later nationalized as the Sturgis
National Bank. Mrs. Carlisle's body was carried overland to the old
cemetery in the Sturgis family lot at Hillsboro after the services held at
the Presbyterian Church in Arlington.
Survivors of Mrs. Carlisle are her son, George Franklin Sturgis,
Laredo; two sisters, Mrs. W. W. Shepherd and Mrs. J. D. Delaney, both of
Kerrville; a step-son, Justin Carlisle, Sherman; eight grandchildren and six
great grandchildren.
Rev. J. H. Patterson and S. M. Bennett officiated at the services at
the Presbyterian Church.

Friday March 3 Citizen For Many Years Dies Last Sunday at Home
ILLNESS FATAL
DAVID CARROLL SIBLEY
An Arlington citizen for nearly forty years, David Carroll Sibley
passed away at 3:35 a.m. Sunday morning after a long period of declining
health.
Funeral services were held Monday at which a prayer was given by Bro.
Walker, and the scripture reading was given by Rev. Patterson.
Bro. Hall gave a sketch of Bro. Sibley's life as follows:
David Carroll Sibley was born in Tupelo, Miss. Aug. 26, 1867. When he
was about four years of age, his parents moved to Batesville, Ark. There he
spent his boyhood and young manhood days.
On Dec. 7, 1887, Bro. Sibley was united in marriage to Miss Susanna
Kinnedy. He was a young teacher at that time and feeling the need of
further education, he entered Quitman College, where he was graduated in
1890. After teaching there two years he was made president of the college.
About this time, he felt the lure of Texas and also the call to preach.
In answer to the first of these calls, he went on a hunting trip into Indian
Territory and continuing further into the great southwest, he found himself
at Johnson Station. He was so attracted by the surroundings that he sent
for his wife and children and began his long citizenship in this immediate
section. Still feeling the urge to preach he was granted license at
Kennedale in the Fort Worth District in 1895. Later he was admitted on
trial into the old Northwest Texas Conference at Georgetown. After a short
time he decided to continue the ministry as a local preacher. This relation
he held until (unreadable) responding to calls for service as supply,
preaching in out of the way places and to neglected groups, visiting the
sick, burying the dead, and in other ways making himself and family by
engaging in active business life, mostly as a citizen of Arlington.
For almost forty years, he has been an active member of the Arlington
Masonic Lodge, serving as secretary for the same thirty-eight years.
He is survived by his devoted wife and the following children: Miss
Gertrude Sibley and Roger Sibley of Arlington, Mrs. H. F. Lane and Mrs. R.
C. Thomas of Fort Worth; Mrs. Charles Pinson of Forney; and Mrs. Marvin
Coffee and William Sibley of Dallas, son.
Bro. Sibley has been in declining health for a number of years and
recently has been confined to his room. Here, surrounded by his friends and
family and assuring them of his unfailing trust in His Savior and his
readiness to go, he swung out on life's greatest adventure about 3:35 a.m.
Sunday, Feb. 26 in quest of a "city whose Builder and Maker is God."
Rev. S. M. Bennett, who had known Bro. Sibley for 25 years, told of
meeting Mr. Sibley on the street several months ago at which time the two
talked about a mutual promise each had made that the survivor of the two
would speak at the other's funeral services. "I shook hands with him and
Sibley reminded me of that promise," Rev. Bennett said, "I have never seen a
more resolute spirit in any man. He worked early and late, but was always
ready to go to the call of a friend as a servant of God and man."
Bro. Sibley loved home, wife and children, believed firmly in education
and good citizenship, and he had faith to carry on in the face of handicaps
and unsurmountable obstacles.
Friday March 3

Cemetery.

were shocked by learning of her death.
