"Charles J. Lisle, journalist, proprietor of the Richfield Recorder, of Richfield, Idaho, proudly bears this title, placing it in front of others justly won in the business arena, in political connection and in military service, and is, in himself, an answer to the query that sometimes has arisen as to why Idaho has so rapidly forged to the front. It is not climate, nor mineral, nor soil, nor situation; it is the manhood of which Mr. Lisle is a type that has made this young state interesting and valuable. Should he need the reflected glory of illustrious ancestors to prove the usefulness and value to his fellow-citizens of his own life, Mr. Lisle can easily turn history's page and read thereon names which bear imperishable honors. Major deLisle, the first known of the family in America, was a French soldier of fortune, who came to the American colonies to fight in the Revolutionary war, and remained here, marrying and leaving the family name. His son's given name is unknown, but the latter's son was Joseph Lisle, father of James Lisle, the last named the father of Charles J. Lisle. The paternal grandmother was Mary Evans, a descendant of Eleazcr Evans, who served in the Revolution, and as she did not belong to the Quaker faith, her husband was disinherited for wedding her. Three of their sons served in the Civil war, in Iowa regiments or batteries, and one, John Lisle, was badly wounded at the battle of Kenesaw Mountain. On the maternal side of the family, little is known save that it was of Irish stock, the grandmother, Hannah Briney, being Irish. Her father disinherited her for marrying Cephas Camblin a Whig. The mother of Mr. Lisle, who bore the maiden name of Sarah Camblin, was born in Ohio, in 1842, and moved to Iowa in 1855, where she taught school during the early days. Her father was a famous Methodist and a friend of Peter Cartwright, who baptised her. She was a woman of marvellous strength of body, as well as Christian faith and devotion. In Iowa she was married to James Lisle, a collateral descendant of Rouget deLisle, author of the Marseillaise Hymn. After serving in the Third Iowa Battery during the Civil war, Mr. Lisle became a Methodist preacher, and in 1911 celebrated his fiftieth year in the pastorate, and since that time has been librarian of Willamette University, Salem, Oregon.

"Charles J. Lisle was born at Des Moines, Iowa, November 2, 1869, and after attending the public schools of his native city worked his way through Nebraska Wesleyan University as an employe of the car shops and a printing office. While at college he was a famous member of the track team and a dependable unit in one of the greatest football teams ever turned out by that institution, and graduated with athletic honors and the degree of Bachelor of Literature. Following his graduation, Mr. Lisle was connected with various country newspapers in Iowa and Nebraska, and in 1897 located in Montana, with the Avant-Courier, of Bozeman, subsequently being a member of the staff of the Helena Herald and the Butte Inter-Mountain. In 1906 he came to Boise, Idaho, where he was connected with the Daily Statesman; in 1907 moved to Shoshone and took over the Journal, and there, with Edwin T. Barber, under the firm style of Lisle & Barber, had the promotion of the Gooding townsite, selling $400,000 worth of town lots. About the same time, Mr. Lisle established the Leader, in Gooding, and the Recorder, in Richfield, his principal interests now being in the latter city. In addition to owning the last-named newspaper, Mr. Lisle has land and other interests in other parts of southern Idaho, and is interested extensively in several new townsites.

"The family's eminent military record has been ably maintained in Mr. Lisle's career. In 1890-91, he served in the Sioux Indian war, in Nebraska and Dakota, and enlisted as a private in a cavalry troop in Bozeman, Montana, to go to Cuba, but this troop was not accepted. Subsequently he became a member of Company C, First Montana Volunteer Infantry, and saw eighteen months of active service in the Philippines, never missing a roll call nor an engagement participated in by any of his company. He was recommended by General Funston for a special bravery medal when in command of a post of eight men that was attacked by 150 Filipinos who were defeated. Mr. Lisle was discharged as a sergeant. During his army life he was a member of the football team of the Montana division that tied the heavy and speedy Minnesota team for the championship of the army.

"Mr. Lisle is a progressive Republican, but has never been a candidate for any elective office. He has, however, held many appointments from governors to various state and national conventions, irrigation congresses, dry land congresses, and gatherings of a similar nature, and in 1909 was appointed trustee of the Albion State Normal School, Idaho, for a period of six years. Mr. Lisle prefers his home to any fraternal lodge, and although he has held membership in the Woodmen of the World, the Modern Woodmen, the Odd Fellows and the Artisans, has not maintained his relationship. A consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal church since 1900, he has been a trustee at various times in the churches at Butte, Grangeville, Shoshone and Richfield. He is affiliated with all development clubs in his home town, and belongs to the Commercial Club, the Fortnightly Club, of which he is president, the County Fair and the Richfield Day Fair.

"On November 27, 1900, at University Place, Nebraska, Mr. Lisle was united in marriage with Miss Lena Mae Wineland, who attended the university with him and graduated in the same class in 1897, she securing the degree of Bachelor of Science. From that time until the year of her marriage she was engaged in teaching school. She is a daughter of George W. and Luella Wineland, students in Adrian (Michigan) College. Mr. Wineland served four years in an Ohio volunteer regiment during the Civil war, after which he removed to Michigan, and in 1878 removed with his family to Lincoln, Nebraska. Mr. and Mrs. Lisle have had two children, namely: Everett Willard, who was born in 1901; and Esther Luella, born in 1907".
