 JOHN CARNEY, the able representative of the hardware trade at Eden Valley, came to
that village in the fall of 1886, and the next spring established his present
business. In addition to the usual lines handled, he gives a share of his attention
to farm machinery and pumps.

   Mr. Carney is a native of Rutland county, Vt., born February 17, 1856, and a son
of Jeremiah and Catherine (McConnell) Carnev, natives of Ireland and Vermont,
respectively. When our subject was only about four years of age his parents removed
to Rice county, Minn., where they settled on a farm. In the spring of 1878 they
moved to Chippewa county and took a homestead and timber claim, where they still
live. In Rice county John Carney grew up, receiving his education in the district
schools of the vicinity. He made his home with his parents, and learned the
blacksmith’s trade. In 1886 he came to Eden Valley and opened a smithy, but the next
spring commenced dealing in hardware, which business he still follows.
