JOKL V. CARROLL. OLDKST KT
TLL1". IX CXIO.V COUNTY.
Crossed Plains Prom Iowa In 1864
and Settled In Grand Hondo
Valley, Still His Home.
UNION. Or., Jan. 2. (Special.) The
oldest resident of Union County, If not
in Eastern Oregon. Is Joel D. Carroll,
of this city. Mr. Carroll via born In
Clark County. Indiana, October 18, lSR.
Practically all of his life has been spent
among pioneer people. His father was a
prosperous farmer, which work waa dis
tasteful to the son. At about 16 years
of ag ha became an apprentice to a
blacksmith, which work has since been
his chief vocation.
In 1S Mr. Carroll went to Clark
Counts", Illinois, where he built a shop of
bis own and for live years prospered at
the work. He then sold out and returned
to bis old home in Indiana, where he
soon became the proprietor of the prin
cipal shop in New Washington. In this
venture he was even more successful than
In his first enterprise, and in a few years
Invested his surplus money In horses,
which were driven south into Louisiana
and sold at a handsome profit.
Within a few years Mr. Carroll found
himself possessed of considerable money,
and selling; out hie business at a good
fttrure, again started West to seek new
fields and greater fortune. This trip was
an extensive one and carried him through
Illinois, several of the Southern states,
and a food portion of Iowa, where he
finally located, near Osceola, the County
Seat of Clark County. Upon reaching the
new home Mr. Carroll acquired an ex-
tensive farm, but later moved to town
and established the second blacksmith
hop In the place.
In the Spring of 1S64 Mr. Carroll sold
all of his possessions, and bidding fare
well to his many friends, started on the
long Journey across the plains to Oregon.
Two wagons were required to haul him
self and wife and their ten children. The
start waa made May 10, 1864. and on the
16th Bay of the following September the
party reached Union, then a village of a
few strangling log houses. A short stop
was maue In the Boise Valley, but being
dissatisfied with that locality and hear
ing favorable reports of the Orande
Ronde Valley, the Journey was resumed
after a brief rest of a, week. Mr. Car
roll' home has been at Union for 44
years, and he has never regretted als
choice of a locality.
The journey across the plains was an
extremely hazardous one and fraueht
with the usual dangers from streams,
floods and hostile Indians, which the ad
venturous pioneers met and overcame a
half century ago. The first men that Mr.
Carroll met in the town were A. C. Craig
and CV Ptvscott, both of whom are dead,
but whose widows still reside In the city.
After locating at Union Mr. Carroll
established himself In the blacksmith
business, which he followed for another
six" years. By that time, feeling that he
had served his trade the allotted time, he
closed 0ut his business and enlaced in
farming- which he followed until old age
forced him to retire from the field.
Although In his 91st year Mr. Carroll
Is still possessed of all his faculties and
Is apparently enjoying life as well as in
his younger days. He thinks nothing of
taking a Journey of several hundred
miles, traveling unattended. When not
lsitiLs wiUt acme or b-a children, alae
of whom are living, lie spends the most
of his time at his pleasant home in this
city.

different denominations In the town,
but all have the same habit of taking
up collections. The Methodist Church,
the largest in town, passed the hat on
Sunday last and $2618.50 was deposited
therein.
It came about this way: There was
nothing out of the ordinary during the
service Sunday morning until It came
time for Pastor Leech to announce his
text. He didn't say: "If you will turn
to your bibles you will find my text
in so and so." His text was this: "The
debt of this church will be paid before
the end of the year." In a few minutes
it was over subscribed.
A debt of J2300 had been hanging
over the church fo.- about three years,
and Mr. Leech said It would not hang
any longer than it would take to pass
the hat around, and the hat was
passed. Instead of getting $2300, the
sum was over subscribed.
Rev. I. H. Leech, the pastor, was
largely responsible for this. Fifteen
years ago Mr. Leech owned several
bands of sheep in Eastern Oregon. He
quit the sheep business for the minis
try. He has a habit of encouraging
his flock to pay off debts, wherever
the Methodist Bishops locate him, and
a year ago he came to Corvallis with
this habit. During the past year his
church at Corvallls has Increased its
membership about 40 per cent, many of
the new members coming from outside
the state and from different counties
of the state.
