JAMES M. McCARTY.

   James M. McCarty is widely known among the prosperous farmers of Democrat
township as the proprietor of "Wild Cat Farm," a tract of two hundred and
fourteen acres situated two and one-half miles northwest of Cutler on the Cutler
and Delphi pike. He has been a valued factor in the development of agriculture
in Democrat township and has been prominently identified with various interests
of the community. His well-directed energies in the practical affairs of life,
the capable management of his own business interests and his sound judgment,
have demonstrated what may be accomplished by a man of ambition and energy.

   Mr. McCarty was born in Carroll county, on September 17, 1864, and is the son
of James M. and Lydia (Tinkle) McCarty, the former of whom was born in Union
county, Indiana, on August 30, 1820, and the latter of whom was born in Democrat
township, Carroll county, in 1834. The former came to Carroll county when a
young man and was here married to Lydia Tinkle, who bore him eight children,
seven of whom are, as follow: Almira is the wife of S. B. Ashba, of Bolivar,
Missouri; Robert married Sadie Catron, of Democrat township; Mary E. is the
widow of W. B. Brown, of Chicago; Williard married Mary Loughner, and lives in
California; James M. is the subject of this sketch; Jennie is the wife of Mr.
Sneighner, of Dennis, Kansas; V. B. married Mabel Cleaver and lives at
Tippecanoe county, Indiana.

   Reared in Democrat township until he was sixteen years old, James M. McCarty
moved with his parents to Burlington township and then to Monroe township and
finally to Clinton county, Indiana. When he was twenty-one years old, he went
West and spent the years 1886 and 1887 in the state of Washington, working on a
farm and in the lumber yard. He came back to Carroll county, in 1887, and on
March 28, 1889, was married to Emma R. Eaton, of Monroe township. Mrs. McCarty
is the daughter of H. H. and Elizabeth Eaton, and was reared in Monroe township.
Mr. and Mrs, James M. McCarty have seven living children, as follow: Earl
married Ethel Porter and they live in Monroe township; Lydia is the wife of
Arthur Reef; Cleo is unmarried and lives in Montana at present; Laura, who.is a
graduate of the common schools, married Cline Larimore and lives in Orange
county, Indiana; Carey, Amy and James M., Jr., live at home. James M., Jr., is
the representative of the fifth generation of the McCarty family bearing the
name of James M.

   The McCarty family are members of the Methodist church at Mt. Olivet.

   Mr. McCarty is a Democrat, but he takes no especial interest in politics,
devoting himself rather to the supervision of his magnificent farm in Democrat
township. Nevertheless, he is well known and highly respected as a citizen of
Carroll county.
