The man that did the book, said he knew all about the history of the man in the picture and in NO WAY could he be my Earl Clyde Carroll. I have found no family members for Earl Clyde Carroll. From the local people I have asked they all concluded the same thing. He was an outlaw, he was mysterious, and no one knew anything about him. He was very private and made sure people didn't invade his life with questions. I have tried to track down the people that took care of the babies grave and can not find them either. I too thought they had to be of some connection to him. I have also been unable to confirm the name of the Coal Mining newsletter. I have called everyone I could think of. I even called the labor union. I talked to several old timers and they can remember gettting the newsletter but no one has a copy of one. I checked the 1900-1910--and 1920 census and can not find any of them. I have tracked many "wrong" Earl Carrolls. And the Daniel Carrolls are to massive to begin to search. I am beginning to think that Gretta may have been her given name but she went by something else. I checked with the Bar Asso and find no William Marsh in the Bar, so much for the Lawyer clue. And No the only thing I have not checked is crimmal records..I am not sure how to do this. I do think he was Wanted. So do I check the county he lived or do I check the FBI..and if so where and how do I do this??? I did check the county court records and he never went to trial in this area. But I think he was wanted on an arrest warrent at the time of his death which would not tall much about him since they had not picked him up yet. This was 1938. Any clues to how I can find what coal mining newletter would have been sent out in the 1950-1970's. Mabels cousin seen the ad and tried to talk Mabel into answering it. She tried to tell Mabel it was his family. BUT Mabel had no interest in contacting them. I actually think she hated the man and was glad he died. Her life with him was very rough. Another crazy thing is I showed Mabels sisters the photo out of the Charlie Birger book and they too thought it was him. And Charlie Bigers girlfriend was a Carroll. I also thought a name like Gretta Ellsworth would be easy to track. I found one in FTM archives that died in Ohio. I found her daughter and Ellsworth was a married name not maiden. My joke to this mystery man is, the only way we will find out who he is will be to dig him up and make him talk. Many thanks for the replies I got from everyone.
