Major Z. W. Carwile Annals of Newberry, Part Two by John A. Chapman, page 606-07 MAJOR Z. W. CARWILE, the son of the late J'ohn S. Carwile, and the last surviving brother of Mr. John B. Carwile, of Newberry, died of apoplexy at the residence of his son Nathan G. Carwile, in Buffalo, Wyoming Territory, on the 30th of November, 1888. Major Carwile Was born in Newberry District in 1818, and. came in his early boyhood to Newberry Village. When quite young he went to Columbia, where, with Mr. B. D. Boyd, President of the old Bank of Newberry, he entered the mercantile establishment of his cousin John H. Carwile. After a year or two he returned to Newberry, where he remained until about 1841, when he removed to Edgefield District (now county), of which he remained a citizen until his death. A short time ago he went to Buffalo to visit two of his sons who reside at that place. He was a member of the House of Representatives from Edgefield for several terms, and was for a good many years Commissioner in Equity for Edgefield County. Major Carwile was a man of unusual mental powers. Although his school education was limited, by reason of his having at an early age entered into business pursuits, yet he had by reading and observation so cultivated his intellect that he was in the best sense an educated man. His friends remaining in Newberry, who knew him both in times of prosperity and adversity, will bear testimony to his faithfulness as a friend and his unflinching adherence to the right. Major Carwile was at the time of his death, and had been for many years previous, a consistent member of the Baptist Church.
