Janni;
My CAREYS were fairly "recent" residents of Muncie. My great-grandfather
Lawrence CAREY and his wife Missouri Louise (POTTS) moved from Covington KY
in about the 1890's. He and his brothers were Irish immigrant glass workers
and they came with the Hemingray Glass Company.
Their son, Martin Norwood CAREY, met Elizabeth Ann HERRON in Muncie. She
was the daughter of Richard HERRON and Margaret Ann (PRICE).
They were my grandparents and were married in Muncie at Grace Episcopal
Church in 1903.
The Herrons were among the early members of that church and some family
members still live in the Muncie area, although my grandparents and their
children moved to Cincinnati in the 1920's, where I was born and raised.
Most members of both families are buried at Beech Grove Cemetery. I
visited many times as a child with my grandmother on "Decoration Day"!
Best wishes,
Ann Bergelt
