The Carbaugh's had two sons, Glenn and Eugene, Jr. Dr. Carbaugh was coroner and medical examiner at various times as well as Health Commissioner. Ella's sister, Mary Elizabeth Claiborne b. 1862 VA, married William M. Boyer b. 1856 Illinois who was a pharmacist in Craig and moved to Kansas City about 1904. His pharmacy was at about 49th and Troost, as I recall. Their two sons were Russell (my Grandfather) b. 1893 in Bigelow and Cecil, b. 1884 in Craig. Russell founded General Drug and Chemical Co, an early private label packager. Cecil was a telegrapher for Western Union and later ran wire operations for a major investment brokerage. Russell married Margaret McCarty whose father, Frank C. McCarty b. 1862 was the Chairman of Standard Paper and Woodenware in KC. Margaret's mother was the former Mary Augusta Montgomery b. 1862 Nebraska City NE. whose father, George Justice! Montgomery, b. 1837 in New Jersey was an early maker of Oxen yokes in Westport for the west-bound wagon trains. I'd love to be in contact with anyone researching these families or old Kansas City businesses. Heath Boyer Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
