General Notes: Husband - James Reed Lyle
He attended the district schools in Mt. Pleasant Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania. He continued to live on the home farm until 1866, when he moved to West Middletown, where he embarked in business as a merchant and continued until 1868, when he returned to the farm and there he resided thereafter. During his active years he engaged extensively in farming and stock raising. About fifty head of sheep were kept on the farm through the winter, and cattle were raised mainly for dairy purposes, a large amount of butter being produced. At different times, Mr. Lyle made substantial improvements on his farm and in 1908 completed the erection of what was probably the best barn in the township, it being a structure with dimensions of 36 by 56 feet. This new barn was utilized as a meeting place when the second family reunion occurred, June 16, 1909, the first one having been held on this farm in 1884. Kindred to the number of 400 came from many sections, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Iowa, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois being represented.
He and his family were members of the Mt. Prospect Presbyterian Church, in which he was an elder. In politics he was practically independent. He served as a school director, but otherwise did not accepted any public office. He was a stockholder in the Farmers' National Bank at Hickory.
