General Notes: Husband - William Allen Carothers

---

The school at Patterson Heights was the scene of his youthful hours of study, and when a young man he began cultivating the homestead farm, later owned by the McHattie Brothers. After his father's death he left the homestead, purchasing his father-in-law's farm in Chippewa township, a tract of one hundred and eighty-three acres. Before endeavoring to make his newly acquired property a paying proposition he made numerous improvements, such as the erection of new buildings for both man and beast and the general renovation of the entire place. Farming was the only business to which he devoted his attention, and to this occupation he gave the methodical, thorough care of a business man. The practicality of his method was best shown by his uniformly good crops, in which he ranked second to none of his neighbors, among whom were some of the best farmers of that locality. On his farm he kept stock of good blood, doing no dealing therein but merely maintaining sufficient for his farm and household needs, raising a large part of their feed on his land. As a Democrat he was elected to numerous township offices, the duties of which he faithfully discharged, and was, with his wife, an adherent of the Presbyterian faith. His only fraternal relation was with the Masonic order.
