humanitarian principles in his practice, never making any charge to a poor widow or family who could not afford to pay for his services, and yet readily to the call of those who needed his professional aid. His practice covered Brown, Scott, Morgan and Pike counties, and he was one of the honored pioneer physicians of this part of the state. He was often called in consultation of cases to Jacksonville, Quincy and Springfield. In 1850 he went to California, spending two years there for the benefit of his health and in attendance upon medical societies. In 1852 he returned to Illinois; but losing his eyesight from exposure, he was blind during the last seven years of his life. In 1850 he was made a Mason in Perry lodge, No. 95, A. F. & A. M., and both he and his wife were members of the Presbyterian church, Dr. Carey becoming a member when sixteen years of age. His death occurred when he was sixty-three years of age, and his widow is now living at the age of seventy-nine years. They were the parents of nine children, A. B., a dentist of Pittsfield, and George B., of this review, being the only ones now living. In his boyhood days George B. Carey assisted his father in every way that he could. He also attended school and worked with his brother, Dr. A. B. Carey, in his dental office. In 1871 his brother removed to Pittsfield, and in 1873 Dr. Carey of this review went to the county seat, remaining with his brother there for about nine years. In 1882 he opened a dental office in Perry and has engaged in general practice with constantly growing success. He is a member of the Morgan County District Medical Society and of the Illinois State Dental Association, with which he was connected for twenty-five years. He also belongs to Perry lodge, No. 95, A. F. & A. M., Perry chapter, R. A. M., the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Modern Woodmen of America, the Mutual Protective League and the Pike County Anti-Horse Thief Association. He also belongs to the Pike County Insurance Company and to the Northwestern Life and Savings Company of Minneapolis, Minnesota. On the 29th of September, 1904, Dr. Carey was married to Miss Celia Vail, a daughter of Leander and Mary (Elledge) Vail, who were married January 23, 1879. Her father was born in Fairmount township, October 13, 1849, and the mother's birth occurred in the same township, October 25, 1848. Mr. Vail has been a stockraiser and farmer, but at the present time is giving his entire attention to buying and selling live stock. Unto him and his wife have been born two daughters: Mrs. Carey, whose birth occurred April 25, 1880; and Olive, who was born December 27, 1885, and was married November 25, 1904, to Richard A. Reynolds. Dr. and Mrs. Carey occupy an enviable social position, and their pleasant home is the center of a cultured society circle. Both are members of the Presbyterian church; and in politics he is a stanch republican, unfaltering in his allegiance to the party. He does not seek nor desire public office, however, but concentrates his energies upon his professional duties; and he has a well equipped dental office, supplied with all modern devices to promote the efficiency of the practitioner. His work has given uniform satisfaction and a liberal patronage is accorded him.                                   JOSEPH C.  HARRINGTON    Joseph C. Harrington, long an active factor in agricultural circles in Pike county, and now living retired in Griggsville, was born on the 2d of January, 1838, in Griggsville township, his parents being Martin and Catherine (Hagaman) Harrington. The name of Harrington has been a family and honored one in connection with Pike county through many decades. Martin Harrington at the time of his death was one of the oldest settlers of the country, and one of the most intelligent and honored citizens. He had resided within its borders for more than a half century, and was in his ninety-fourth year at the time of his demise. He came of old New England ancestry honorable and distinguished. When the colonists attempted to throw off the yoke of British oppression two of the Harringtons, Jonathan and Caleb, who were closely related to the father of Martin Harrington, were among the six who fell under the first fire at the battle of Lex-
