CHARLES CARROLL

     who resides about fifteen miles southwest from Mitchell, was born in Linn
county, Oregon, on September 3, 1866. He has always resided in this state and
has been on the frontier a good portion of his time. His father, Samuel Carroll,
was born in Peoria, Illinois, crossed the plains with ox teams to Linn county in
1847 and there settled on a donation claim. Twenty-seven years later, or in
1874, he came to Wheeler county, Oregon, bought land and engaged in the stock
business. He married Margaret Scott, also a native of Illinois, who crossed the
plains with her parents in 1852. They are both dwelling now in this county. Our
subject was eight years of age when the family crossed the mountains and since
that time he has continued in central Oregon. He received what education the
common schools offered and then engaged in farming and handling stock. In 1892
he took government land where he is now living and to the improvement of this,
together with stock raising, he has devoted himself since. He is one of the well
known citizens of this section and has displayed substantially and industry
during his career here.
     In 1894 Mr. Carroll married Miss Emma Marvin, who was born in the
Willamette valley, the daughter of Joseph and Clara (White) Marvin, pioneers of
that country. Five children are the fruit of this marriage, Clara, Joseph,
Bertha, Chester and Harry.
     Mr. Carroll is a member of the M. W. A. and a good, substantial citizen.
