_______________
Moved to Milton, North Carolina around 1899 and purchased the Dr. Stamps home, which burned around 1929. Source: The Heritage of Caswell County, North Carolina, Jeannine D. Whitlow, Editor (1985) at 91 (Article #19, "Angle" by Lois Sydnor Angle Love). Note: The name of the house that burned may have been "Glenburnie." However, see the statement below about a T. M. Angle who lived in Caswell County as a boy.
Late in life James H. (Jack) Miles secured the services of T. M. Angle of Milton, North Carolina, to operate or assist in operation of the distillery in Anderson Township, Caswell County. Arch Lindsey of Yanceyville, North Carolina, was the bookkeeper. The exact dates of operation are not known. It appears that the distillery closed with the coming of North Carolina's prohibition law in 1908. Source: From Rabbit Shuffle to Collins Hill: Stories of Southern Caswell County, North Carolina, Millard Quentin Plumblee (1984) at 130.
It appears that the distillery business eventually caused legal difficultines for Thomas Mayes Angle. Note, however, that the outcome of the case is unknown:

Important Case on Trial
A very important case is on trial in the Federal Court in Greensboro this week, wherein B. F., H. C., and J. T. Sprinkle, T. M. Angle and Wm. Young, distillers and liquor dealers at Milton, Caswell county, are charged with perpetuating a fraud on the government by which the government was defrauded out of $100,000 in taxes on whiskey. Only Angle, Young, and B. F. Sprinkle are on trial. The storekeeper at the place has already been convicted and there is a case against another storekeeper. The case involves a good many people and others than those mentioned may be brought into it before it is finished.
When the jury was completed and counsel for the defense asked all who had formed or expressed an opinion that the defendants were guilty to retire nine jurors left the box.
Angle, one of the defendants, is an Iredell man, a son of the late Dr. Angle, of Eagle Mills.

The following is from When the Past Refused to Die: A History of Caswell County North Carolina 1777-1977, William S. Powell (1977) at 5:
T. M. Angle, writing in the Caswell Messenger, June 24, 1926, said that when he was a boy he was always looking for diamonds in the sand of the branches and creeks of Caswell County and picking up clear stones. "Once I found what proved to be a crystalized quartz of about two pounds. I felt sure for a long time," he said, "that my fortune was made. I had found the long looked for diamond and I never will forget how badly I felt when the discovery was made that it was only quartz.."
Thomas M. Angle Will Be buried at Milton Sunday [The Bee (Danville, Virginia) 9 March 1929]
The death occurred yesterday afternoon at 2:17 o'clock of Thomas Meise Angle, age 65, prominent citizen of Milton, N .C. He had been in declining health for some time but was seriously ill but one week. Mr. Angle was a native of Iredell County, N.C., but had lived at Milton for the last 35 years. He was a successful farmer and throughout his active life displayed large interest in community affairs, being for many years a political leader. He is survived by his widow and three sons T. S. Angle and Sol Angle, of Milton, and M. S. Angle of Greensboro, N. C. The funeral will be held from his late home at 3 o'clock late Sunday afternoon, services to be conducted by Rev N. R.
