Carlisle Community |
|
The pioneer Carlisle Community, located between the western outskirts of Lubbock and the Reese Development Center on West 19th Street, was named for W. Augustus "Uncle Gus" Carlisle (1849-1920), who settled here with his wife, Lizzie (Spikes), in 1890. A cattleman and prominent land owner, Carlisle made significant contributions to the development of the area, including a donation of land for a school. In 1918, he set aside a portion of his property for use as a public cemetery. It was first used for the burial of George W. Wood, a victim of the 1920 influenza epidemic.
