           GEORGE W. CARR, general merchant at Sand Beach, was born Sept.
        1, 1850, near Geneva, Seneca Co., N.Y.  He was six years old when
        his parents, THOMAS and MARY (CHRISTLER) CARR, came to Michigan,
        settling near Romeo, Macomb County, where they now reside, on the
        farm of 80 acres on which they originally settled.
           MR. CARR was reared on his father's farm to the age of 22 years,
        and in 1872 he engaged as traveling salesman in the interests of a
        nursery company, for whom he operated four years continuously. He
        came to Sand Beach in August, 1877, and became a salesman in the
        mercantile establishment of J. JENKS & Co. After operating in their
        interests about four years, he embarked in business independently,
        and has since conducted his mercantile affairs, carrying a stock
        valued at an estimate of $5,000.
           MR. CARR owns 40 acres of farming land on section 16, in the
        township of Sand Beach, a part of which is improved and cultivated.
        He is also the owner of his residence and place of business.
           His marriage to MISS E. A. GIBSON occurred Jan. 1, 1876, at
        Lenox, Macomb County. ETHELYN M., only issue of this union, was
        born in Lenox, Jan. 8, 1877. MRS. CARR was born Aug. 13, 1854, in
        Lenox, and is the daughter of MATTHEW B. and ANN (BEARD) GIBSON.
        Her parents were among the early pioneer settlers of Macomb County,
        settling therein about the year 1850, when the portion where they
        located was innocent of even traces of civilization.
           MR. CARR is a member of the Village Council, and belongs to the
        Knights of Honor, The family attend the Baptist Church.
