Believe it or not, we should be related somewhere far back. I have little info on the
Carder's - my grandpa was Vernon Carder, his parents were Edward Ellsworth Carder
& Emma (MacDonald) Carder, his parents were Mary & Wesley Carder. I have an old
1800's photo of John M. Carder......and Thaddeus Mack Carder plus others.......
Grandpa & g-grandpa worked for the railroad and moved out to Iowa and Minnesota. They
were buried in Eagle Grove Iowa.
I know there used to be a place in Indiana called "Carder's Siding" where
they had a sawmill. I also found a cemetery at one time around Rushville or a bit farther
north (?) that had some of my Carder ancestors buried there......I think there's a
very good possibilty we have common ancestors!
Please feel free to email me, I currently live below Rushville in the Greensburg area.
Hope we're a match!
