I bought it on Ebay; it just has the insides, but it is full of Indiana biographies. I am not researching this family, just thought I would share. I do not know anymore about these families or these surnames. NOTE: I don’t know if there is any additional mention of this family in the book, it has no index. I do not want to sell this book. I am typing the biographies from it. Typed by Lora Radiches: Surnames in this biography are: Carter, Fishel, Jones, Fishel, Cosby, Glasscock, Newby, Carl J. CARTER. Though he has made a successful record in the practice of law and has served as prosecuting attorney of Bartholomew County, Mr. Carter now gives much of his time and attention to the management of an industrial-commercial business of which he is the sole owner and which is conducted under the title of J. C. Fishel & Son, Hatchery. This enterprise, with the best of modern provisions and accessories, has become one of no minor importance as touching the industrial prestige of the City of Columbus, the judicial center of Bartholomew County, and under the progressive management of Mr. Carter it has expanded greatly in scope and importance. Mr. Carter was born on the parental home farm in Bartholomew County, August 12, 1883, and is a scion of one of the prominent and influential families that was founded in the county in the pioneer period of its history. Mr. Carter is a son of Elijah J. and Miranda J. (Jones) Carter, both likewise natives of Bartholomew! County, where the father has been a successful exponent of farm industry and where he served as county clerk during the period of 1909-1913. He is a son of Jonathan W. Carter and is a grandson of Elijah S. Carter, who was born in Pennsylvania and who settled in Indiana about the year 1820, he having taken a tract of Government land in Bartholomew County and his old homestead being one of the valuable farm properties of Columbus Township. The family name has been one of prominence in the civic and industrial history of Bartholomew County, as one generation has followed another on to the stage of life. The subject of this sketch is the younger in a family of two sons, and the elder son, Ralph E., resides in Indianapolis, Indiana. The public school discipline of Carl J. Carter culminated in his completion of a course in the high school at Edinburg, Johnson County, and thereafter he continued his education along academic lines by availing himself of the advanta! ges of the extension department of the University of Indiana. In 1907 he was graduated in the Indiana Law School, Indianapolis, and that year marked not only his reception of the degree of Bachelor of Laws but also his admission to the bar of his native state. In that year also he engaged in the practice of his profession at Columbus, and he thus continued until 1909, when he was appointed deputy county clerk, a position that he retained until 1913. He thereafter gave his attention to the general practice of his profession until, on the 1st of January, 1915, he initiated his service as prosecuting attorney of his native county, he having been elected to this office in the fall of the preceding year, and his reelection in 1916 having caused him to retain the office two terms. He made a record of success as a resourceful public prosecutor, and upon retiring from the office, in 1918; he resumed the active practice of his profession. In 19! 20 Mr. Carter virtually retired from the practice of law, upon purchasing the chicken hatchery and business of J. C. Fishel & Son, at Columbus. He has since continued the sole owner of this well ordered and prosperous business, which was founded in 1889 and which controls a substantial and note worthy trade in the operation of the hatchery and in the fancy poultry business. Mr. Carter has his modern hatchery at 315 Franklin Street, Columbus, and his fine poultry farm, of eighteen acres, is equipped with a thousand chickens for breeding purposes, with preference given to the White Wyandottes. This well improved poultry farm is located near the vital little City of Hope, Bartholomew County. The hatchery, with modern electric equipment, has a capacity for the handling of 75,000 eggs every three weeks, and from it shipments of chicks are made into every state of the Union, so that the business constitutes an important element in the commercial activities of Bartholomew County. T! he hatchery and office have a floor space of 3,600 square feet, and the concern retains a corps of six employees. Mr. Carter is a member of the American Poultry Association, the International Baby Chick Association, and was for three terms president of International White Wyandotte Club. He is a valued and loyal member of the Columbus Chamber of Commerce, his political allegiance is given to the Republican party, he still retains membership in the Bartholomew County Bar Association and the Indiana State Bar Association, and he is affiliated with the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, and the Modern Woodmen of America, while as a descendant in the maternal line, of Joseph Hart, who was a patriot soldier in the War of the Revolution, he is eligible for membership in the Sons of the American Revolution. Mrs. Myra (Cosby) Carter, the first wife of Mr. Carter, passed her entire life in Bartholomew County, where her death occurred in 1918, she being survived by three! children: Ruth E., was graduated in the training school for nurses maintained in connection with Robert Long Hospital, at Indianapolis, Indiana, and is now engaged in the practice of her profession, as a registered nurse; Donald R., is a member of the class of 1932 in Purdue University; and Mary Louise is a student in the Columbus public schools. The second marriage of Mr. Carter was with Mrs. Lere Newby Glasscock, of Chicago, Illinois, on June 26, 1920, and on April 3, Mr. Carter adopted the son of his second wife, under the name of William Newby Carter. Mrs. Carter is the popular chatelaine of their attractive home on Franklin Street in Columbus.
