      CHARLES MORRIS CROLL, a popular tonsorial artist of Dushore, Sullivan
  county, is an excellent illustration of what fair dealing, strict attention to
  business, careful management and a genial disposition will do toward the
  consummation of a successful business career. Mr. Croll was born in Columbia
  county, this state, October 22, 1854, a son of William and Jennie (Auman) Croll,
  and received a good common-school education in the public schools of his native
  county. When twenty-one years of age he started to learn his trade under the
  tuition of William Weary, of Dushore, after which he rented a shop and on his
  own responsibility entered upon his chosen vocation. Three years later he
  purchased a lot and built his present place of business, one of the finest and
  most completely equipped in the county. He owns three houses in Dushore, and the
  one in which he resides is a handsome edifice, fitted up with every modern
  improvement and convenience.
  
      Mr. Croll was united in marriage June 25, 1890, to Miss Carrie A. Taylor, a
  daughter of David Taylor, of Muncy Valley. She is a member of the Methodist church.
  
      William Croll, the father of our subject and a native of Pennsylvania, was
  born January 22, 1819. He was a carpenter by trade and came to Sullivan county
  in 1860, locating at Dushore, where he followed his trade up to the time of his
  death, which took place in 1871. He married Miss Jennie Auman, of Columbia
  county, and to them were born seven children, namely: Annie, who is the wife of
  Willard Clayton, of Duluth, Minnesota; Clarence D., a carpenter of Athens,
  Pennsylvania; Charles M., our subject; William D., a hotel clerk in Athens;
  Freeman W., a finisher in an Athens furniture factory; George W., a clerk in a
  clothing store in Duluth, Minnesota, and Elsie M., a stenographer in New York
  city. Mrs. Croll survives her husband and is a resident of Athens, where she has
  a large number of warm friends.
