General Notes: Husband - Israel Carnahan

---

He was born Sept. 18, 1849, in Bell township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and came to Indiana County with his parents in 1848 [sic] and received his education in the common schools in that county. He continued to reside with his parents till he was married, when he located on part of the homestead, a tract of seventy-two acres in Armstrong township, to which he later added, having eighty-five acres, and he was improving the place continuously throughout the period of his residence there. In 1893 he built a large, substantial house and a fine barn, and by reason of natural advantages and intelligent management the property became one of the most valuable of its size in that section. It was richly underlaid with coal. Mr. Carnahan engaged in general farming and stock raising.
He was one of those chiefly instrumental in having the telephone line between Indiana and Parkwood established. In December, 1909, he and Mr. William Glass started out to take subscriptions for the enterprise, and when they had enough guarantees to insure its success went to the Bell Telephone Company with the proposition and were promptly accommodated. He was elected president of the local company, known as the Indiana & Parkwood Telephone Company (a subsidiary of the Bell Telephone Company), and served as such two years.
Mr. Carnahan was foreman of the State road from Indiana to Apollo, during 1912-13, and he was frequently honored with election to public office, serving served his township as school director, assessor, tax collector, road supervisor and member of the election board. Politically he was a Republican. For thirty-four years or more he was a member of the Crete United Presbyterian Church, to which his family also belonged, and he served same twelve years as trustee and for over twenty years as elder.
