He was born December 22, 1852, in Ottawa, Illinois, and his parents, Patrick J. and Letitia (Shannon) Carlin, were natives of the north of Ireland, who came to America in 1844. He received his early instruction at Lyons, Iowa, and in 1870 became a student in the public schools of Correctionville, this state. He taught school in Woodbury county for nine fall and winter terms and during the summer months engaged in farming. He was placed at the head of the schools at Oto, Iowa, and in 1889 was elected recorder of Woodbury county. His work was very satisfactory and for eight years he was the incumbent of that position. He was in the employ of the Boston Investment Company for a year and in March, 1891, was appointed superintendent of the waterworks system of Sioux City. For thirty-six years he has continuously filled this office, establishing a record of public service equalled by few and surpassed by none. Throughout this period the work of his department has been maintained at a high standard and Sioux City is indebted to him for a model waterworks plant which ranks with the most complete and best managed systems in the United States - an accomplishment which has earned for him the enduring regard of the residents of this community. On Christmas day of the year 1877, Mr. Carlin married Miss Ida Moffatt, a daughter of George C. and Julia (Harrington) Moffatt, natives of New York state. Mr. and Mrs. Carlin had three children. Jessie died at the age of thirteen. Harry P. was a guest in a hotel at Hot Springs, Arkansas, when the building caught fire and he received injuries which caused his death when a young man of twenty-two years. George M. Carlin, the other son, married Miss Alma Reimers and they have two children: George M., Jr., and Marian V. Mr. Carlin is a republican and for three years was an influential member of the local board of education. He has been a member of the Knights of Pythias for forty-four years and his identification with the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks covers a period of twenty years. He is also identified with the Woodmen of the World and the Ancient Order of United Workmen. He is a faithful member of the Methodist church and a high-minded man who would be a valuable acquisition to any community.
