Carey, Charles Henry. "History of Oregon." Vol. 2. Chicago-Portland: Pioneer Historical Pub. Co., 1922. p. 547. HENRY LUPTON CARL Henry Lupton Carl, who in the year 1871 became a resident of Oregon, where he resided to the time of his death on the sixteenth of December, 1916, was born at Tipton, Iowa, in December, 1844, his parents being George and Cordelia Carl, who were natives of Ohio and who removed to Iowa at an early day, the father there taking up a claim upon which he and his family lived for many years, his attention being continuously given to agricultural pursuits. Subsequently he removed to Keokuk, Iowa. Henry Lupton Carl had been reared as a farm bred boy and early became familiar with the best methods of tilling the soil and caring for the crops. He continued to assist his father on the farm until the removal to Keokuk. After the family home was established in that city Henry L. Carl was united in marriage to Miss Matilda Tantlinger in 1868. She is a daughter of John and Caroline Tantlinger, who were natives of Pennsylvania but in an early day removed to Iowa, where Mrs. Carl was born. Following their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Carl resided for eight years in Iowa and during that period he engaged in farming. When the call came for troops to serve in the Civil war his patriotic spirit became the dominant element in his life and in 1861 he offered his services to the government, enlisting in the Twenty-fourth Iowa Volunteer Infantry, with which he served until the end of the war. In 1871 he determined to try his fortune in the west and made a stage trip to La Grande, Oregon, where he resided for five years. He then came to Portland, where he continued to make his home until called to his final rest and in this city Mrs. Carl still resides. To this worthy couple were born four children: Byron E., now living in New York city; Bert O.; George G., who is a physician of John Day, Oregon; and Lula, the wife of Bernard Mulchy of Portland. Mr. Carl gave his political allegiance to the republican party, which he supported from the time that age conferred upon him the right of franchise. He belonged to the Knights of Pythias and was also a member of Ben Butler Post, G. A. R., thus maintaining pleasant relations with his old army comrades and at all times manifesting in matters of citizenship the same spirit of loyalty which actuated him when he followed the nation's starry banner on the battle fields of the south.
