Page 162

Mr. McCarty, the subject of these notes, is a native of Champaign county, Ohio, being born there in 1823. He came to Mason county in 1837, and has since been a resident thereof, engaged in farming, which with him has been a great financial success. He began with one horse and a barshire plow, and from this small beginning, with economy and industry, he has risen to his present affluent circumstances.

In 1844, he married Miss Malinda Wilcox, and together for all these years they have made the journey of life. They reside in Mason City, retired from the anxieties and the cares of business on the fruits of their industry of former years.
