extract from History of Nicholas County
Elijah West, with his family, moved into Carlisle about 1833. His first home was in the frame house on Main street, next east of Mr. J. F. Tureman. It was about 1841 he bought from the trustees the old brick seminary and an acre of ground, for |400. Here he lived until about 1865, when he built a new residence on his farm one mile south of town. He was elected magistrate several times and served also several years as member of the Board of Town Trustees. In 1863, he was elected County Judge of Nicholas. Judge West was a good, upright citizen and enjoyed the confidence and good will of the community. Some several years ago - having lost his first wife, he was married to Mrs. Rosanna Hughes, widow of Jesse Hughes, Esq. But, in 1877, the Judge died at the good, ripe age of eighty years. His son, William, is the owner of the homestead near town.
