General Notes: Husband - Joseph Carlon, Jr.


His school advantages were all comprised in two years' attendance in the log cabin school house of early times, with its greased paper windows and split log seats. When a boy he learned the blacksmith's trade in Mercer, Pennsylvania, and followed the same for about ten years. In 1813, when he was six years old, his mother, with her family, located in Lawrence county on a farm which her husband had purchased a year previous, said farm adjoined the one on which Mr. Carlon later resided.
Both he and his wife were connected with the Rich Hill Presbyterian Church, in which he was for many years a ruling elder. Though deprived of the opportunities for acquiring an extended education, he, nevertheless, always took a deep and lively interest in the schools of his community, and for a number of years served as director.
