    John Carden. The energy and busniess ability of John Carden have combined to
develop a farm in the Whitewater community which compares favorably with any in
that part of Hamilton county. He has a thorough knowledge of his vocation,
sufficient courage to weather inevitable depressions, and the necessary wisdom
to realize that only by maintaining a high standard of efficiency and by
exercising close application to his work along modern lines can uniform and
continued success be attained. Mr. Carden was born in Whitewater township,
Hamilton county, Ohio, October 11, 1866, a son of James and Sarah (Smith)
Carden, the former a native of New Baltimore, Ohio, and the latter of Crosby
township, Hamilton county, Ohio. James Carden was a farmer throughout his life
and came to Whitewater township in 1860 where he purchased a farm, where he
followed his business until his death. He was a Democrat in politics and a
member of the United Brethren church. Mr. and Mrs. Carden were the parents of
three children, Emma and Edith, deceased, and John, the subject of this review.
John Carden was educated in the public schools of his native township and after
finishing his studies, assisted his father on his farm for some time. Later he
engaged successfully in business for himself and at the present possesses a fine
farm of 275 acres, where he is engaged in general farming. In politics he is a
Democrat, but prefers to devote his time to his home and business, than to the
interests of politics. On the 26th day of January, 1888, Mr Carden was united in
marriage with Miss Mary Hayes, a daughter of Van and Rachael (Mason) Hayes, the
former of whom was a native of Ohio, and the latter, of Indiana. Van Hayes came
to Whitewater township in 1866, where he purchased the homestead farm, where Mr.
and Mrs. Carden now reside. Here he followed general farming until his demise,
which occurred December 5, 1869. In his death, Hamilton county, lost not only an
efficient agriculturist and shrewd business man, but a man who was loved and
respected throughout the community. Mrs. Carden was born in Hamilton county,
Ohio, and educated in its public schools. She is a lady of true refinement and
culture, and well-known for her sweet disposition and charity. She is one of the
most popular members of the highest social circles of Hamilton county, and her
friends are without number. Mr. and Mrs. John Carden are the parents of four
children, as follows: Rachael A., who is the wife of Harry C. Weber, of
Whitewater township; Edna S., who is the wife of Samuel D. Trobaugh, of
Whitewater township; Earl James, and Ralph H., both of whom are at home. In
conclusion, it may be added that Mr. Carden is not only a shrewd business man
and successful agriculturist, but a man of the strictest integrity, and one who
holds his word as his bond. He is ever willing to promote any movement that
tends for the public good and is a citizen of which any community might be proud.
