    WILLIAM H. CARL, undertaker; P. O. Clayton.  The subject of this sketch 
was born in Pennsylvania, Oct. 20, 1849.  His father, Jacob, was united in 
marriage with Anna Thurman.  They were the parents of twelve children, five 
daughters and seven sons, viz.: Mariah, Sarah A., Elizabeth, Mary E., 
Rebecca, Peter, Gabriel, Isaac, John W., and William, our subject.  Mr. Carl 
emigrated to Ohio in 1865.  William assisted his father with the duties of 
the farm during the days of vacation until he was at the age of 14 years, 
after which he worked on the neighboring farms until he was 21 years of age.  
In 1870 he commenced to learn the cabinet trade, which he continued in until 
he finished.  He worked journey work in Dayton until he located in Salem, 
engaging in business for himself.  In 1876 Mr. Carl took for wife Elizabeth 
Tobias, whom he lived with two years, she being summoned by the angel of 
death to that world whence no traveler returneth.
