* 1915 - Mar. 10 - News article - Wichita Daily Times - Wichita Falls, Texas:
Sent Custer Story
Telegrapher Who Flashed News of Massacre Just Retired
After Fifty Years of Active Service John M. Carnahan receives a Pension - Ticks of 80,000 Words in Two Shifts
Missoula, Mont: The news of the Custer massacre was first told to the world in 1876 by John M. Carnahan, then manager and operator in the Western Union office in Bismarck, North Dakota. After an active service of more than fifty years Mr. Carnahan has just been retired on a pension.
Mr. Carnahan began his career as a telegrapher in 1861.
In the fall of 1872 the Northern Pacivic railway line had been completed as far west as Bismarck, N. D. Mr. Carnahan was asked to go to Bismarck and manage that office, and in the Spring of 1873 he went there and the big chapter in the story of his eventful life began. For it was while he was at Bismarck that he sent to the world the account of the Custer massacre on the Little Big Horn in July 1876.
Fort Abraham Lincoln, the post of the Seventh cavalry and the headquarters of Brigadier General Custer was at Bismarck. Mr. Carnahan won Brigadier General Custer's friendship and he became the personal friend of the officers at Lincoln. And so it was that he and the post surgeon rode out from the old garrison with the Custer expedition when it started in June 1876, to punich the Sioux. The surgeon and the operator made the first twelve miles with the Seventh cavalry. Then they turned back with the last dispatches which Brigadier General Custer sent.
No word came back to Bismarck from the Seventh cavalry and its commander. But that occasioned no surprise. Expeditions of that sort were a common occurrence in those days.
It was on the night of July 5 when the steamboat Far West came down the river to Bismarck. The Far West brought the wounded of Reno's command and the official dispatches which told of the complete annihilation of the Custer command.
On the morning of July 6 Mr. Carnahan found on his desk in the telegraph office a carpet bag filled with official dispatches. There was an immense lot of them. He "flashed" the news to the east and then settled down to the transmission of the official story to the department of war in Washington. It was eight o'clock on the morning of July 6 when he began his tremendous task. Not until fife o'clock the follwing morning - 21 hours - did he leave his instruments. Then for three hours he slept the sleep of utter exhaustion. He returned to his work, and for 20 hours he sat at his key. It was four o'clock the next morning when he checked off the signature of the last dispatch in that old carpet bag. He had sent 80,000 words in the two shifts.
For two days the eastern newspapers had been clamoring for news and there was no one to send it. Mr. Carnahan could not leave his official work and there was no other telegraph operator within two hundred miles.
To the New York Herald, the Chicago Inter Ocean and the St. Paul Pioneer Press he sent as much of the news as he had strength to prepare. And that was the way the news of the Custer battle was sent out.
That was the big news article in the career of John Carnahan. But in the professional secrets of 53 years at a telegraph key there must be many incidents stored up which would startle the world if they were told.
1915 - May 19 - News article - Gazette - Stevens Point, Wisconsin:
John M. Carnahan, the telegraph operator who flashed the news of the Custer massacre to the world in 1876, retired on New Year's day, after active service of more than fifty years. He has entered upon the enjoyment of the pension which the company granted for long service.

Hi Everyone,
Have another question.
Samuel Carnahan - 1801 Pa-1871 Ill - son of David Carnahan and Margaret Mann.
md 1st Elizabeth S. Richard
md 2nd Sarah Deer Holdren
The 1870 census shows these entries in Lee Co., Illinois:
June 25 - Brooklyn, Lee Co., Illinois - pg. 258A - 34/34
Carnahan, Samuel - 71 - Justice of Peace - Pa
Sarah - 51 - keeping house - Pa
Henry Holdren - 18 - farm laborer - Ill
Holdren, David - 15 - Ill
Abin - 14 - Ill
Virginia - 11 - Ill
and
June 29 - Census - Brooklyn, Lee Co., Illinois - pg. 263B - 111/115
Carnahan, Samuel - 27 - farmer - Pa
Celesta - 21 - keeping house - New Jersey
Lilly - 3 - Ill
Paul - 3/12 - Ill
Samuel - 68 - Pa
In the June 25 entry Samuel is head of household with his wife and her
Holdren children by her first marriage.
In the June 29 entry Samuel appears to be living with his son, Samuel Wesley.
I can find no other Samuel that will fit. So... this is Samuel but with two
listings.
Right????

Emma! Thanks so very much! This is my dad and one of his wives. This helps so very much. Do you have any additional info on Earlene Kathryn Carnahan or her parents? or anything else on the wedding? From what I understand, they had two children...names possibly Delbert and Paula, but not really sure. I've been trying to locate them since they would be my half siblings. Your great!

Hello Everyone,
Have a question.
The list I have seen for the children of William Carnahan (1799 Pa - 1869
Pa) and Mary Dildine are as follows:
Nancy - abt 1831
Margaret - abt 1832
Amanda - abt 1834
William W. - abt 1838
Daniel Dildine - abt 1839
David Franklin - 16 Sept 1840
Elizabeth - abt 1842
John - ????
The 1850 census of Madison twp., Montour Co., Pennsylvania - pg. 394B -
170/175 shows this listing:
Wm Carnahan - 50 - farmer - Pa
Nancy - 19 - Pa
Mary - 18 - Pa
Amanda - 16 - Pa
Wm - 11 - Pa
Daniel - 10 - Pa
Eliz - 8 - Pa
Apparently his wife Mary is deceased. Anyone know???
But... Where are sons, David Franklin and John in this 1850 census listing.
Based on the info. I have seen David should be about 10 years old and I
would think would be on this census.
I don't have a b. date for John but am wondering why he doesn't show up on
this census as well.
Help anyone????
Thanks - Emma

Demise of a Leading Citizen of Fort Wayne
He Was Prominent in Business and a Force in the City's Progress -- His Life
William L. Carnahan was the son of James G. and Margaret (Brown) Carnahan, both of whom were natives of Ohio. They removed to Indiana in 1833, becoming pioneers of Tippecanoe county. settling at Lafayette, the father became engated in merchandise. At that place, William L. Carnahan was born, march 5, 1837, and growing to manhood there attended the city schools and prepared himself for entrance to the state university, at which he was graduated. At the close of the year 1856 he went to Nebraska and remained in that state three years, the greater part of the time in Dakota county and the city of Omaha, in the latter place being engaged in merchandise and clerk of the land office. In 1860 Mr. Carnahan returned to Indiana and extablished himself in business in Delphi, where he ws occupied two years, after which he removed to Lafayette and embarked in the boot and shoe trade. Two years later he became a travelng salesman for the firm of Carnahan, Earl & Co, Lafayette, in wh!
ich capacity he was engaged for eighteen months, at the end of that period becoming a member of the firm of Carnahan Brothers & Co., wholesale dealers and manufacturers of boots and shoes. Attending to the wholesale trade, he spent seven years altogether on the road.
In 1872 Mr. Carnahan came to Fort Wayne to live and established the business which is now transacted extensively in many states by the W. L. Carnahan company. The firm was first Carnahan, Skinner & Co. and this was succeeded in 1875 by Carnahan, Hanna & Co., and in 1886 became Carnahan & Co., with E. H. Mcdonald in the firm. The establishment was incorporated in 1894 under the name of The W. L. Carnahan Co., with W. L. Carnahan as president, Robert H. Carnahan as vice president, and W. E. Hood as secretary and treasurer.
In 1864 Mr. Carnahan was united in marriage to Clara L., daughter of James Bayliss Hanna, of this city, and of this union four children were born, Robert H., Misses Louise, Clara, and Virginia, all of whom, with Mrs. Carnahan, survive the deceased.

In his private life, as in his business affairs, Mr. Carnahan was controlled by a stern integrity and a lofty honor. He was extremely devoted to his family and ws of strong domestic tastes. He was active and liberal in religious and charitable work, but without ostentation. He had been a steadfast friend of the Young Men's Christian Association of Fort Wayne and had conferred many benefits upon it.

Carnahan Co., wholesale boots and shoes, one of the oldest and most extensive wholesale establishments in Fort Wayne. His death, while not unexpected, was none the less a shock to his hosts of friends and acquaintances throughout the city, for he was a representative man and held a high place in the popular esteem. For twenty-five years he had been a citizen of this city and had acquired an importance in its commercial affairs and aprominence in its society that combined to make him a man whose absence will be deeply felt.
Mr. Carnahan had been an invalid for about three years, suffering with Bright's disease and heart trouble. For two years his condition had been regarded as serious and for the past four or five weeks he had been confined most of the time to his bed. Last week there was some improvement in his condition, but a relapse followed which ended in his death this morning.
