ALEXANDER G. CARSON, a Tipton County farmer, was born November 19, 1838, in Marion County, Ind., where he remained
until he was about twelve years old; he then removed with his father, Alexander Carson, to Tipton County, and settled
on a farm in Prairie Township. In 1870, his father sold this farm, removed to Clinton County, and settled near
Michigantown, where he died April 17, 1880, at the age of seventy six. For more than half a century he was a devoted
Christian, and a member of the Baptist Church; ten children survived him. The subject of this sketch came to Tipton
County and settled in Cicero Township, and purchased a small farm of forty acres; he subsequently sold this and
purchased another farm of eighty acres, upon which he moved in 1876. He has continued farming since with good success;
he has about fifty acres under cultivation, and his land is of very fertile soil, producing seventy five bushels
of corn to the acre; he built a good residence upon it in the fall of 1882. Mr. Carson was married in Marion County,
Ind., January 1, 1862, to Miss Mary E. Rabourn. They have two children, William Sherman and Ida Belle. Mr. Carson
is a Republican in politics, and he and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
