Carter) was born Aug. 2, 1828, Zanesville, Muskingum county, Ohio, died Feb. 10, 1901, Griswold, Cass county, Iowa. When seven years old, he with his father, mother and five brothers moved in wagons to Grant county, Indiana, and as the mother in a family of boys needed some help about the house he helped her during his boyhood days more than any of the rest of the boys which took some of the hard work of clearing up the farm off of him. But as he got older he did his part of the work at clearing and farming among the roots and stumps. He was a stout young man, always ready and willing to do his share of the work, and engage in the ball games and other sports of his school days and as better teachers were employed we had better schools and he got to study grammar and other studies that made him a better scholar than his older brothers. He taught several terms of school in the winter very successfully. The winter after he became of age he went to Ohio to visit the scenes of his childhood and relatives there. The trip was made on horseback. After he came back in the spring he went to work at the carpenter trade working for a contractor for two years when he and his cousin, James Heal, went to work at the business together, taking the responsibility of contracting and putting up some strong, durable buildings. A description of the first barn they put up will be of interest to some in the prairie country. It was fifty- eight feet long, twenty-two feet wide, with a shed ten feet wide on one side, sills twelve inches square and part of them the whole length of one tree; sleepers were made of trees about a foot through hewed on one side. The posts were eighteen feet long and ten inches square. The plates on top of posts were made of hickory trees the whole length and v/ere ten inches square. Most of the ties were eight inches square. This timber was all hewed out. The braces were sawed four inches square and a part of the ties were four inches square. The timber in the shed part was most all eight inches square and the rafters were made of poles hewed on one side. The roof was made of oak wood shingles, thirty inches long, riven out and shaved by hand. Weather boarding was all hard wood, five-eighths of an inch thick. It took some timber and and somework to build such a barn as that. Rhoda Mahala Parrill, daughter of Enoch and Esther (Sappington) Parrill, born July 16, 1834, Pike county, Ohio; died 19 . Mr. Parrill was born in Virginia, Miss Sappington in Ohio. When but a child she came with her parents to Grant county Indiana, and there she grew to womanhood where the forest had to be cleared away to make a comfortable home. Her mother was a tailoress and made coats for the neighbor boys to help support the family. She made the best use of the schools she could and had a fair education for the times. Joseph Carter and Rhoda Mahala Parrill were married Nov. 24, 1853, Grant county, Ind. To this union four children were born: Lyman Orlando, Enoch Norman, Sylvania Caroline, and Walter. His father helped him to eighty acres of land but he preferred working at his trade to clearing out a farm, so they sold out and in the spring of 1856, moved in wagons to Brodhead, Wis. Here they bought property and he worked at his trade and also learned the cooper trade. But he was not satisfied to live in town and in Feb. 1880, they packed their goods and put all on the cars and moved to Griswold, Cass county, Iowa, where he had bought some land which they improved and soon had them a comfortable home in the country. The daughter married and went to Traill county, North Dakota, where she died, leaving a young baby which the grandma went and got with the intention of raising, but it soon passed over with its mother leaving only one child (Waller) who is now married and has two children. He lives in Wahpeton, S. Dakota, where he has a good position in a bank. In Feb., 1864, Joseph Carter enlisted in the army thinking that all able-bodied men would have to go before the war closed, but it closed before he got into active service. He went east and was present at the grand review of soldiers at Washington at the close of the war, glad to get off so soon. They were good, honest citizens, loved and respected by their neighbors and all that had dealings with them. Raised by Methodist parents, early in life they became members of that church and were earnest, devoted workers in the Master's vineyard. But while in Wisconsin they heard the coming of the Lord and kindred doctrines preached and accepted that doctrine, as the First Day Adventists preach it, fully believing that whether they lived 'till the Lord came or not, they would have a home in the renewed earth when He did come.
