H. CARL VOLLAND.

   H. Carl Volland, the efficient and popular city clerk of Columbus and one of
the young men of Bartholomew county who is a native son of the county seat, was
born on the 20th of May, 1875, his father being Frederick Volland, the well
known hardware merchant of Columbus. In public and private schools of this city
Carl Volland obtained his education and was graduated on the completion of the
high school course in the spring of 1896. He was employed as a clerk in his
father's hardware store from that time until the 1st of September, 1902, when he
entered upon the duties of the office of city clerk, having been elected to that
position on the Democratic ticket in the month of May of that year. All of the
other city officers except the treasurer are Republicans. The candidate for
mayor of that year was defeated by a vote of eighty and Mr. Volland was elected
by a vote of one hundred and forty-two, which shows that he ran two hundred and
twenty-two votes ahead of his ticket. This is a splendid compliment to his
personal worth and the regard in which he is held by his fellow citizens. He is
very popular and is a recognized leader in Democratic circles. In 1898 he served
as secretary of the Democratic central committee of Columbus. He has always
endorsed the principles of the party and since attaining his majority has
labored -earnestly for its welfare and for the adoption of its platform. He has
a bright future before him. He comes of a family that has given him social
prestige and he has ever shown himself worthy of the position which he holds in
public regard. Should he decide to devote much of his time to political labors
he will undoubtedly win further successes and future distinction, because added
to his keen insight and capability as a political manager are a stalwart
devotion to the general good and unquestioned loyalty to the right.
