Children: - Thomas Clagett Pyles [b. 6 Jul 1893-- Margaret Virginia Pyles [b. 23 Apr 1895-?] - John Kensett Pyles [b. 27 Dec 1897-?] Biography presented by his first cousin, 3X removed, Nancy H. Vest Clagett’s early life Claggett’s mother, Laura HAWKINS PILES passed away when Clagett was five and his sister, Nannie, was four. Claggett’s father married again to Laura’s sister, Fannie, who raised Clagget as and Nannie as her own along with the five children she had with Clagett’s father. Richard, Clagett’s father, made sure his children were educated. Clagett attended St. John’s Academy in Annapolis. According to his obituary in The Frederick Post, soon after graduation, Clagett was appointed to the State Tobacco Warehouse in Baltimore. In 1884 he passed the Civil Service examination and received his appointment in the Custom House in Baltimore. Friends in high places... Clagett was appointed to this position by the former governor of Maryland, Edwin Warfield, who was in charge of the Naval Office at the time of Clagett’s appointment. The Post reports that Clagett was intimate friends with Warfield. Clagett ‘also enjoyed the friendship of President Grover Cleveland.’ I imagine Clagett came to know the president through his association with Warfield. Clagett worked as the chief liquidating clerk at the Naval Office at the U. S. Customs House in Baltimore for 27 years. The Post reports that ‘at the time of his death he was one of the most efficient and popular men in the service in the city.’ Family is important to Clagett... Clagett married Mary MIDDLEKAUF PYLES (1871-1937) in Baltimore in 1892. He was 32 years old. Clagett and Mary had two sons and a daughter between 1893 and 1898. I couldn’t find Clagett in the 1900 census, but I found him in 1910 living in Baltimore in a rented house on Lanvale Street. Clagett loved his family and faithfully visited his family in Montgomery County including his stepmother, Fannie, and his half-siblings Percy and Lottie. Clagett’s sister, Nannie, and Nannie’s husband, Thomas O. White, owned the family home in Barnesville in Montgomery County. Clagett takes ill... In late May, 1911, Clagett took a month’s leave of absence because of an unnamed illness. He went to Nannie and Thomas’ home to rest and recover, but ‘his illness took a turn for the worse and he died’ there on 30 July 1911. His address at the time of death was 1625 North Calvert Street, Baltimore. I believe his house is one of the ones behind the tree. Clagett is buried at Monocacy Cemetery in Beallsville, Montgomery County, Maryland, along with his father, two sisters, and two brothers. Copyright © 2016 Nancy H. Vest All Rights Reserved https://nancyhvest.com/clagett-pyles-a-most-efficient-and-popular-man/ Obituary Frederick Evening Post - July 31, 1911 Mr. Clagett Pyles, for 27 years chief liquidating clerk of the Naval Office at the United States Custom House in Baltimore, died at 6 o'clock yesterday morning at the home of his brother-in-law, Mr. Thomas O. White, of Barnesville, Montgomery County. Mr. Pyles, who was a brother of Dr. J. T. Pyles, of Frederick, had gone to his old home five weeks ago on a month's leave of absence. There his illness took a turn for the worse and he died in the home where he was born 52 years ago. At 11 o'clock tomorrow morning he will be buried in the old family burying ground in Monocacy Cemetery, Beallsville. For 27 years, Mr. Pyles worked faithfully in the Custom House and at the time of his death was one of the most efficient and popular men in the service of the city. He was appointed to this position by ex-Governor Warfield, who was then in charge of the Naval Office, and throughout his life was his intimate friend. He also enjoyed the friendship of President Cleveland. Mr. Pyles was educated at St. John's Academy, Annapolis, and soon after his graduation was appointed to the State Tobacco Warehouse in Baltimore. In 1884 he passed the Civil Service examinations and received his appointment in the Custom House, Baltimore. He lived at 1625 North Calvert Street. Mr. Pyles was the son of the late J. Thomas Pyles, a merchant of Barnesville. Even after his father's death it was his custom to go there every year to spend a part of his vacation and to visit his step-mother, Mrs. Fannie Pyles; his brother, Mr. Percy Pyles, and his sister, Miss Lotta Pyles, all of whom survive him. Besides these relatives, he is survived by his widow, three children, Thomas Clagett, John Kensett, and Margaret Pyles, and two other brothers, Drs. Joseph T. Pyles, of Frederick and R. G. Pyles, of Baltimore.
