     CARLETON, GEORGE A. was born and reared in New England, but many years 

ago became attracted to Florida, and the state has no more enthusiastic and 

loyal citizen than this well known contractor and builder at Ormond in Volusia 

County.

     Mr. CARLETON came to Florida in 1896, and for a time was located at 

Tampa, then a small town.  He afterward went to Palm Beach, and since 1900 has 

been located at Ormond.  He has erected a number of hotels, residences and 

business structures along the Halifax River and on the beach.

     Mr. CARLTON was born near Groton, Massachusetts, March 16, 1865, son of 

AMOS P. and HARRIETT ANN (BUTTERFIELD) CARLETON.  His father was a carpenter 

by trade, and died in 1907.  The mother, now eighty-seven years of age, lives 

at North Andover, Massachusetts.

     GEORGE A. CARLETON was educated in the Groton High School, and as a youth 

learned the carpenter’s trade.  Along with the practical work of building 

contracting he has studied and acquired a broad knowledge of the architectural 

profession, and he plans many of the houses he builds.  Mr. CARLETON is 

affiliated with the Knights of Pythias at Miami, and is president of the 

Ormond Yacht Club.  He has built a number of boats, and is a skillful pilot 

and sailor as well.
