   ALEXANDER G. CARSON, a Tipton County farmer, was born November 19, 1838, in
Marion County, Ind., where he remained until he was about twelve years old; he
then removed with his father, Alexander Carson, to Tipton County, and settled on
a farm in Prairie Township. In 1870, his father sold this farm, removed to
Clinton County, and settled near Michigantown, where he died April 17, 1880, at
the age of seventy-six. For more than half a century he was a devoted Christian,
and a member of the Baptist Church; ten children survived him. The subject of
this sketch came to Tipton County and settled in Cicero Township, and purchased
a small farm of forty acres; he subsequently sold this and purchased another
farm of eighty acres, upon which he moved in 1876. He has continued farming
since with good success; he has about fifty acres under cultivation, and his
land is of very fertile soil, producing seventy-five bushels of corn to the
acre; he built a good residence upon it in the fall of 1882. Mr. Carson was
married in Marion County, Ind., January 1, 1862, to Miss Mary E. Rabourn. They
have two children- William Sherman and Ida Belle. Mr. Carson is a Republican in
politics, and he and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
