General Notes: Husband - James Calvin Carroll


He received a common school education, and began work at an early age as trapper boy in the North Side mine of the Westmoreland Coal Company, continuing at this for a year or two, later mining coal for this company. In 1882 he secured a position as freight brakeman on the Pennsylvania railroad, which he filled for two years, being then promoted to conductor, in which capacity he served about three years. He was then made yard master at Jeannette, Pennsylvania, where he resided until June 17, 1904, and then purchased a property in North Irwin which he then occupied. He had previously built the first house in North Irwin, completed September 22, 1890, occupied by his brother, Harry O. Carroll. In religion Mr. Carroll adhered to the tenets of the Methodist Episcopal church, in which he held membership. In politics he was a Republican, taking an active interest in the affairs of that organization. He was appointed to fill the unexpired term of the first burgess of the borough of North Irwin, was president of the council for five years, and was later treasurer of the borough.
