McCarty Thanks to Cari Dale for taking this photo of stone for me. Thanks Ken for this bio Samuel Quimby McCarty 1914 History of Wapello County, Iowa The S. J. Clark Publishing Company Samuel Q. McCarty An excellent farm of one hundred and twenty acres pays tribute to the care and cultivation of Samuel Q. McCarty. His home is on section 3, Dahlonega township, and in connection with the cultivation of his fields he is successfully engaged in stock-raising. He was born in Wapello county, Iowa, October 8, 1853, and is the son of John and Catherine (Anthony) McCarty, both of whom are natives of Franklin county, Pennsylvania. Removing westward to Ohio early in life, they were married in that state and in 1853 came to Iowa, casting their lot with the pioneer settlers of Wapello county. They settled upon a farm, whereon they remained until their life's labors were ended in death, and they were classed with the representative and highly respected agriculturists in the community. In their family were 11 children: Elmina, now wife of A. Gleason, of Missouri; Samuel Q.; and nine who have passed away. Samuel Q. McCarty was reared on the old homestead farm and remained with his parents until they were called to their final rest. He attended the common schools, dividing his time between his studies and the work of the fields. His practical training at farm labor well qualified him to take charge of the old home farm, which he did following the demise of his father. He has since cultivated this place and is now the owner of one hundred and twenty acres of rich and productive land, situated on section 3, Dahlonega township. He raises the cereals best adapted to soil and climate, and his timely and practical methods of planting his crops give good promise of abundant harvests in the autumn. He also raises good grades of stock and both features of his business are proving profitable. On April 2, 1895, Mr. McCarty was united in marriage to Miss Mary Reissinger, a native of Germany, as were her parents, Valentine and Magdalene (Lowenburg) Reissinger. About 1883 they crossed the Atlantic to the new world, accompanied by their children, and established their home in Iowa. Later they removed to Montana, where their remaining days were passed. In their family were eight children, of whom six are living. Mr. and Mrs. McCarty have become parents of two children, but lost their daughter, who was the first-born, Doris V., who was born January 8, 1897, and died in 1904. The son John H., born February 13, 1899, is now ready to enter high school. Mr. and Mrs. McCarty have adopted a little daughter, Helen M., who was born March 8, 1907, and who has taken the family name. Mr. and Mrs. McCarty attend the Methodist Episcopal church, and in his life he exemplifies the beneficient spirit of the fraternal organizations with which he is connected. He holds membership with the Woodmen of the World and also with the Odd Fellows lodge at Highland Center. His political indorsement is given at the polls to the republican party, but he has never sought nor desired political office. He is interested in affairs relating to the upbuilding of the community, however, and for ten years he has served as school treasurer, the cause of education finding in him a stalwart champion. More than sixty years have come and gone since the McCarty family was established in this county. The same year the birth of Samuel Q. McCarty occurred, so that he has long been a witness of the changes wrought here by time and man. He has lived to see the pioneer homes replaced by commodious and substantial farm residences, has seen the building of churches and schools throughout the county, indicating the moral and intellectual progress of the community, and has witnessed the establishment of all kinds of business. His own life work has been a prominent feature in agricultural development here, and his success may be all attributed to his own efforts.
