Newton County, Jefferson Township.  From A History of Warren, Benton,
Jasper & Newton Counties, 1883.

   HENRY CARSON (deceased) was born April 23, 1838, in Prussia, and 
came to this country with a sister, who married Christopher Fehrl, of 
Goodland, Indiana.  He landed at Castle Garde, New York, after six 
weeks voyage, June, 1855; thence he went to Warren County, Ohio, where
he worked eight years at farming for Jesse and Robert Corwin, brothers
of Hon. Tom Corwin.
   He was married, in February, 1860, to Charlotte Carpron, also of 
Prussia; after which he worked for Jesse Corwin two years.  In February,
1862, they came to Newton County, and settled on a farm four miles north
of Goodland, and remained three years.  Four years later, he bought the
farm on which his family now resides, four miles northeast of Kentland.
   He improved this place of 180 acres, and it is a very pleasant home.
He died, November 17, 1874, of cancer.  He was a member of the Lutheran
Church, and a Democrat, and the parent of six children--Frank A., 
Andrew A., Christina, Henry, Emma E. and Johnnie W. (deceased).  Mrs.
Carson is a member of the Lutheran Church.  Much credit is due to Mrs.
Carson for her good rearing of her family in the absence of the natural
protector.
