"Looking at Carroll" Part II Page 6

There was never a race problem in Carroll, largely because of the high wquality of the colored families who lived here. At the close of the Civil War the Kiner family, the grandparents of Jim, came to Ohio and settled near Carroll. His name was Bennie and her’s was Anna, but they were always called Pappy and Auntie. Their home was close to the Coonpath. John was a son and Mrs. Emily Black a daughter. They had a large family and they, too, most of them, died of tuberculosis. Bert (Pete) Black is remembered by all who live here today. He was a grand soul who lived until his death with the Tom White family and before that with Isaac Claypool, Sr. They had two sons, Louis, a minister, and Charlie. Both of these men were excellent singers and used to sing for revival meetings all over the township. Ada and Nancy (Kiner?) of Wothington and Cleveland.
The Black family, Emily and John and their daughter Minnie, were all members of our Methodist Church. There never was a great-grandchild in this family. Auntie Kiner and her daughter, Mrs.Emily Black, were wonderful cooks and always were present at all weddings, funerals and parties to do the cooking. Like many of their race they were emotional, especially in matters of religion. Mrs Black and her husband John, would shout and shout in church. They delighted Rev.Sam Jones, a southern evangelist who made many visits to Lancaster Camp Ground in their eighties.
Barbers who followed the Kiner brothers were Taddy Wade, brother of Mrs.Ibbie Smith, James Smith, Charlie Kaffits, Tom Miller, Carter from Lancaster, Charles Ash, Ben Underwood, Cy Young, Mike Zaayer, Bill Beaty, the present barber who also deals in real estate.
About 1880 the first hardware store was built and operated by Joseph Green, a prominent farmer out in the Slough settlement. A large hall above this was used for a dance hall and shows of all kinds. At that time Carroll was filled with all kinds of musical talent. An organized group called the Minstrel Men gave a show once a year which was excellent. As I watch T.V. I can recalll these generous young men who made life worth while by using their talent to entertain their little village. Joseph Green’s son, Billy Green, resides at the old homestead and is seen often on the streets of our town. Sometimes he walks to Carroll.
Joseph Green sold his hardware store to Henry W.Showalter, who with his wife Ann, lived for years in the home now owned by Forrest Glick, the manager of the Pure Oil Garage. Mr. Showalter retired from the business, selling to Jack Bowman, who sold to Howard Bowman and George Morehart. In 1914 they sold to Samual Kull and his brother Frank. This building burned and was not rebuilt, and the brothers bought the building where Mr. and Mrs. Bill Ridgway now operate a hard ware store. Mrs.Ridgway is a daughter of Mr. Samuel Kull. Mack Moore also, he sold to Charles Stroth, both deceased, two fine gentlemen.
