He became the legal guardian of Emerine's 7 year-old step-daughter Almeda Adams Hileman and became the step-father of her young son Robert Chester Adams Together they had three more children, George W.

The following obituary was published in the Elk County Citizen - April 1, 1903: ANOTHER OLD SETTLER GONE Mr. David Carey, passed away Thursday evening the 19th of March at 6:35 o'clock. Mr. Carey was born near Sidney, Miami county, Ohio, August 15th, 1828, where he spent the most of his boyhood days until about the age of 20, when he started west. His father died when he was about five years old and left him and a younger brother and two sisters to the care of his mother. David was therefore pushed out to care for himself early in life. In about 1848 he emigrated to Illinois and from there to Missouri a year or two later, but not liking the slavery law which the state was then under, he returned to Illinois and located near Saybrook, where he resided until he started for the southwestern country in the fall of 1867. In his journey he stopped near his brother-in-law for a short time in Missouri, and their located his claim in Crawford county, Kansas in the spring of 1868 where he lived for six years. Becoming dissatisfied and discourage because the land upon which he had settled had fallen into the hands of the railroad company, he again started westward and located on a claim on Elk River in the fall of 1874 where he resided until his death. Mr. Carey has been afflicted for a great many years. His sufferings for the past few years have been very great especially the last few weeks of his life. Before leaving Illinois he made a profession of Christianity and united with the United Brethren church, after he came to Elk county he never united with any denomination or society. He claimed that one could live a christian life on the out side about as well as on the inside of denominational lines. He knew that he was going to die and said that he was prepared to go. He was unconscious about ten hours before he passed away. He leaves an aged wife, a son and two daughters and grandchildren to mourn his loss.
