One of the native sons of Marshall county who has been content to spend his life here at home, wisely deciding that no better locality could be found than this favored section of the great Hawkeye state, is the gentleman whose name appears above. He has gained a deﬁnite degree of success, which he has merited, owing to the fact that he has been unaided, never depending on others to do either his work or his planning. He is the scion of an excellent pioneer family, members of which have played well their parts in the progress of the county. Mr. Carroll was born in Marietta, a village a short distance northwest of Marshalltown, on September 24, 1865, the son of Isaiah and Mary Jane ( Masters) Carroll. The parents were probably natives of Columbiana county, Ohio, where they grew up and were married, making the overland trip to Iowa in the forties, locating among the early citizens in Marietta township, Marshall county. Isaiah Carroll was a wood-worker by trade and he was also a blacksmith in early life. During the Civil war he was a soldier in the Union army, in Company A, Second Iowa Volunteer Infantry, proving to be a true American soldier. He was a man of retiring disposition and led a quiet life. His death occurred in I892, his wife having preceded him to the grave in 1878. They were the parents of three children, all of whom are living. A.W. Carroll, proprietor of the well known A.W. Carroll & Company of Marshalltown, was reared in Marietta and attended school there. Early in life he learned the painter's trade which he followed a number of years, but although he became very proficient in this line, he was never fully satisfied in it, and all the while was assiduously studying electricity, etc. In 1904 he started an electric supply store at the corner of Main and Second streets, and although he had a business partner the style of the firm was then as it is now. He remained in that location until September 1, 1909, when he removed to No. 130 West Main street, where he is still located. He has a large and carefully selected stock of electric supplies, fixtures, etc., carrying on a general electrical supply business, in connection with which he does a large contracting business. He has met with very pronounced success in his chosen line and his business rapidly increased until Mr. Carroll is widely known throughout this locality in this line, his minute knowledge of every detail of the same and his fairness in all his dealings with his hundreds of patrons winning the good will and the confidence of the public. Fraternally, Mr. Carroll is a member of the Knights of Pythias, and the Woodmen of the World; he is also a member of the Marshalltown Club and the Iowa Official Transcontinental Route Association. On November 29, 1909, Mr. Carroll was united in marriage with Mrs. Nellie Eldridge, nee Maulsby, a native of this county where her people are well known and highly respected. This union has been without issue. Mrs. Carroll is the mother of four children by her first marriage. "Past and Present of Marshall County, Iowa" Judge William Battin and F. A. Moscrip 1912 B. F.
