REVEREND JOHN CARNEY

    Reverend John Carney was a native of Virginia, but emigrated to Ohio and settled in what is now Dover Township, about 1828, residing here till his death.  He was quite a noted and earnest Baptist and one of the early preachers throughout this vicinity.  Although not an educated man, and never in charge of any church, yet he was a good and devoted man, and an earnest and efficient worker in this community in the interests of the church.
