General Notes: Husband - Scott Winfield Carrier
He gained his early education in the public schools, and even as a boy began to assist in the work of his father's mills. Eventually he and his brother Euphrastus came into control of the flour mill, and in 1886 they installed the roller process, theirs being the second mill in the county to acquire the modern equipment. After a period of fourteen years Mr. Carrier sold his interest in the mill, and then turned his attention to the lumbering industry, his special field of operation being in the getting out of square timber, on the North Fork, in the district north of Brookville. In this enterprise he and his associates continued operations about twenty years, his partners in the business being G. B., C. E. and E. Carrier, under the title of G. B. Carrier & Company. The firm continued operations for a few years after the opening of the twentieth century, activities being abandoned only when the available supply of timber became practically exhausted. The firm installed a modern sawmill on the North Fork, which was operated under the direct management of G. B. Carrier. Since his retirement from the lumber business Mr. Carrier gave his attention principally to the management of his farm, which was comprised of 110 acres, and which was a part of the old estate of his father. It was located near Summerville, and he made many modern improvements on the place, including the erection of modern farm buildings. It was devoted to diversified agriculture and to the raising of good grades of live stock.
Mr. Carrier had no ambition for politics, but was a stalwart Prohibitionist, and both he and his wife were zealous members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
