"Looking at Carroll" Part II Page 7

Mr Samuel Woorrell had a harness store and lived where the Charles Norris family now reside. His daughter Ida was the wife of George W. Knight, a painter and paper hanger, the father of Adrian, Ola, Edna, Howard and Frank. James Worrell was a brother of Ida.
Hansberger and Doomy Dry Goods store was operating when I first saw Carroll, in the brick building across from Dr. H. A. Brown’s office. They carried everything anyone would be likely to need. They were both good church men and Mrs. Doomy sang in the choir of the Methodist Church.. The partnership was later dissolved and Harmen Doomy became the owner of the business. Mr. Hansberger returned to Baltimore, Ohio with his family of four boys and a girl. The only one now living is Bertha, a music teacher, whose home is in Newark, Ohio. Otto Bethard of Chillicothe bought Mr. Doomys’s business and later sold it to Alva Buchanan. The latter sold his stock after a few years and this dry goods and grocery store went out of business.
Aaron B. Kistler had the first flouring mill, run by water from the canal, next to his home on the southeast side of the canal. He also bought and sold grain and seeds of all kinds. He did a flourishing and profitable business and everything was shipped by Hocking Valley Railroad. He was assisted by his five sons, Wilson, Silas, Wallace, Charles and John. This mill burned in August 1896 and he started to rebuild but passed away before its completion. The boys finished and operated the mill until it burned again in 1899, after which they rebuilt at a new location on the Hocking Valley Railroad. Silas was the manager of the elevator and also built the funeral home now owned and operated by Chester Thomen. Afte selling the funeral home Silas moved to Lancaster.
Harvey Kniseley from near Greencastle built the Carroll Elevator. His wife was Felicia Courtright. Ill health compelled him to sell the business to Isaac and Joseph Gundy. Later Joseph (my husband) was sole owner of the firm. In 1904 this elevator was completely destroyed by fire, also a large hay barn. Joseph rebuilt and soon after erected a flouring mill. He enjoyed the largest trade of any dealer on the Hocking Valley, shipping to points in southern Ohio and West Virginia. He also dealt in coal and seeds of all kinds. This business was wiped out by fire an April 16, 1914, except the office which still stands.
Finding two fires too much to take, Joseph sold the business the same year to Frank Phipps of Pleasantville, who was also a prosperrous business man. Since his death his son Roy is the manager and is well fitted for the business. The large brick house near the elevator belongs to the Phipps heirs. This house was built many years ago by Daniel Boyer who had an elevator down by the depot. This elevator was not in use when I was a child, as it had been destroyed by fire. I remember the fire occurred one summer night durng Camp Meeteing, probably in August.
