        Samuel W. Carson of Cheviot, mail agent of the Great Eastern
railroad from Cincinnati to Chicago,
is the oldest member of his father's family, and was born January 1,
1816. In 1850 he went to
California, being gone five years, and returning via Panama railroad,
coming across the isthmus on the
first train over that line. During the war he was provost marshal and
afterwards for two years was
revenue collector. In 1856 he was assigned a position in the mail service
on the Great Eastern railroad
from Cincinnati to Chicago, which position he still retains. Mr. Carson
is a descendant from a remarkable
(page 305) family of old settlers and otherwise noted people, who came
from the east about 1804 and
settled near Cheviot. They were the first pioneers, and consequently were
the first to erect
school-houses, churches, establish roads, and otherwise improve the
country. Mr. Carson lives
comfortably in a nice homestead in Cheviot.
