Carterville Record
1902

A large number of A. F. Carmean's gentlemen and lady friends "stormed" him at his home last night and had a regular old fashioned time in honor of Mr Carmean's election to the office of circuit clerk.

1902 from Mornin' Mail.

The beautiful home of Barney Hanel, on South Grand avenue, one of the handsomest residences in Carthage, was purchased this morning by A. F. Carmean, of Carterville, newly elected circuit clerk. The purchase price is given at $7,500, which is remarkably cheap, as the house alone cost over $8,000 to build a few years ago and the lots have a ninety foot front on Grand avenue and are 200 feet deep. Ed Lanyon made the deal.

Mr. Hanel will give possession within thirty days, when he will move to Virginia. Mr. Hanel has been a resident of the southwest many years and of Carthage about five years. He has been successful in mining and has accumulated a fortune from his investments. He has been a public spirited man and has been prominently identified with many public enterprises. It is with regret that Carthage loses so good a citizen. Ill health prompts Mr. Hanel's change in location

ALBERT F. CARMEAN, CIRCUIT CLERK

One of the Busiest of Jasper County's Busy Officials


Mr. Carmean was born in the hospital at Keokuk, Iowa in 1863. His father was at that time in the army and his mother matron of the hospital. At the close of the war his parents went back to their home in Indianapolis, but in 1868 moved to Miami, Kansas. There he attended the public schools and was later sent to Baker University.Leaving school he entered the lumber business, which he continued until 1900, though he removed to Carterville, Jasper County in 1894. In 1900 he entered the mining industry and continued in it until 1902 when he was elected to his present positon, for which education and experience perculiarly adapt him, and which, despite its onerous duties, he fills to the satisfaction of the courts and his constituents.

In 1902 (sic) he married Miss Belle Ackerly and by her has one child, a boy, now ten years old. The live comfortable, are social and hospitable and attend the Methodist Episcopal Church.

* 1371 verses 1615 (?)

City of Carthage changed street address' for some reason, causing all sorts of genealogical problems!

Undocumented by me, ~ ~ however ~ ~ its been reported, S H Houser an owner of Carthage Foundry and Machine Works (earlier known as Eagle Foundry Works, and around 1896 became the Stout-Parke Foundry and Machine Shop), located at southwest corner of Oak street and Garrison avenue, where now Memorial Hall is located. Reportedly, Houser had purchased land in 1893 and later built a house, at what is now known as "1615" Grand avenue. A few years later he was in financial trouble, probably result of economic panic caused by the 'Cleveland depression' of 1893. His business assets sold around 1897 & home in 1898. The Carthage, Missouri's Victorian Home tour notes "1615" Grand avenue as "S H Houser/Carmean home", and in March of 1982 was recognized as Historic Carmean House #82005342.

Two Carthage Press news articles appeared August 1898, first stating G L McMillan of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania had bought his brother-in-law's, S H Houser, home for resale. Second article tells of B Hamel of Joplin, Jasper county, Missouri purchasing the home, now "1615" Grand avenue. Then in 1902 another newspaper article reports, Carterville's Albert Foster Carmean purchased a home on Grand avenue from Barney Hanel around 1902 following his election as Jasper county's Circuit Clerk. Its also reported, a stone at that property exists with street number "1371" chiseled in it, remaining as of February 2012 according to current owners, and that James Douglas Clarkson had temporarily resided here under Houser, McMillan & Hamel ownership, after selling his Main street home while building a new home at 807 south Garrison avenue, on what became Jefferson Highway (U S #71) for which he became nationally recognized as a promoter. Albert Foster Carmean is noted living at "1371" Grand avenue in City Directory of 1906-1907 and on 1910 Federal census. 1920 Federal census show Carmean at 1103 south Main street which his death certificate has as location of his 1933 demise. Patrick Joesph McNerney is on Federal census in 1930 as living at 1615 Grand avenue, when the turret was removed due to a water leak problem and Dr Emil Louis Oxeman is said to have resided there in the 1950's. It now, in 2012, is a Bed & Breakfast operation. Sooooo, now we know!
