The Cumberland Evening Times, October 8, 1926 James Carey, prominent farmer of Garrett county, died yesterday at his home on the National Pike, about six miles from Frostburg. Death was due to pneumonia. Born on the old Carey estate, known as District No. 9, in Gnrrett county, on January 16, 1852, he was the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Carey, his parents being among the earliest pioneer farm owners of Garrett county. He was descended from Revolutionary ancestors, his parents, grandparents and great-grandparents being extensive land owner farmers within a few miles of Mr. Carey's birthplace, the old Carey homestead, years before the historic National Pike. Being sprung from these early American pathfinders and tillers of the soil, a love for farming, the joy of the woodland, every phase of country life was inherent in James Carey. Despite his age of seventy-five years, he took an active part in his extensive farming and lumber interests, giving personal attention in business up until a week ago when he was stricken. His death followed a short illness, was a distinct shock to the entire countryside and from Frostburg where he was well and favorably known during his long and useful life. Mr. Carey was one of a family of nine children. Of those, the following brothers and sisters survive him: Mrs. Rose Carey Calvin, of Pittsburgh, Pa.; Miss Rachel Carey, of the old Carey homestead, and Edward Carey, Springfield, Illinois. On the third day of July, 1879, Mr. Carey married Miss Ada Florence Blocher, daughter of the late Andrew Blocher and Mrs. Nancy Layman Blocher, and a niece of the late George Louis Layman, first sheriff of Allegany county, Md., after the Civil War. Mr. Carey is survived by his widow and the following children: Mrs. Rose Opel, Mrs. Hazel Meese, John L. Carey, and Allen Carey, all of Garrett county; Mrs. Mary J. Robinson, wife of George Robinson of Cumberland; and Mrs. Anna Louisa McKenzie of Richwood, W. Va.; and a number of grandchildren in Garrett county, Md., West Virginia, and Beaumont, Texas. Mr. Carey's funeral will take place on Monday, with services at the residence. Interment will be in the family burying ground in the old Blocher graveyard, the Carey homestead farm. His brother, the late Thomas Carey, died a few months ago, his death having occurred at the old Carey homestead, where he spent his entire life. The passing of these two brothers in such a short time is regretted in the countryside where they were life long familiar figures and where their industrious traits and usefulness were recognized.
