Carson was born in Pittsburg, February 28, 1863, the son of Samuel and 
Nancy Carson, both deceased.  He had been a resident of Altoona for

Altoona iron mills, he had been employed there as an iron worker almost 
continuously until he was taken ill.  Mr. Carson was married November 
12, 1889, to Miss Mary Houser, of this city, who survives with one 
daughter, Helen, and one son, John, both at home.  He was a member of
