Carleton The history of a county or state, as well as that of a nation, is chiefly a chronicle of the lives and deeds of those who have conferred honor and dignity upon society. The world judges the character of a community by those of its representative citizens and yields its tribute of admiration and respect to those whose works and actions constitute the records of a state's prosperity and pride. Among the well known citizens of Hardin county is the Carleton family, a worthy member of the which is John J. Carleton, real estate dealer of Iowa Falls, his success in private affairs and his interest in public life having ever been commendable. Mr. Carleton was born at Iowa Falls, Iowa, on June 4, 1870. He is the son of John H. Carleton and wife, a complete sketch of whom appears elsewhere in this work. The subject grew up at Iowa Falls and here attended the public schools and the high school, later Ellsworth College, receiving an excellent education. After leaving college he was assistant postmaster at Iowa Falls for two and one-half years, under his brother, James P., who was postmaster. He also had charge of the business here of the United States Express Company for his brother for some time. About 1889 he entered the First National Bank as bookkeeper, remaining in this institution for about eleven years, rendering high grade and eminently satisfactory service. From there he entered the real estate and farm loan business with his father, whom he has assisted ever since, but he also engages in this line of business for himself, having built up an extensive and ever-growing patronage and becoming widely known to the business world. He is a director in the First national Bank and also of the Security Savings Bank. He has been very successful in a financial way. Fraternally, Mr. Carleton is a member of the Modern Woodmen and the Knights of Pythias, having been keeper of records in the latter for the past five years. On May 23, 1894, Mr. Carleton was united in marriage with Lillian M. Stewart, daughter of Robert and Rhoda (Orr) Stewart. She was born at North Branch and came to Hardin county, Iowa, with her parents when she was a little child. Mrs. Carleton's parents still live in Iowa Falls, both highly respected citizens. Their family consisted of five children. Mr. Stewart is an active Mason, a Knight Templar and a member of the Mystic Shrine. He and his wife belong to the Methodist church. To Mr. and Mrs. Carleton two sons have been born, Wendell S., born June 19, 1896, and John Robert, born October 17, 1898. Mr. Carleton is a member of the Methodist church. He has the reputation of being a man of exemplary character, advocating wholesome living in private and public life, and he has the confidence and esteem of all who know him. (courtesy of Robert)
