From the History of Mower County, 1911:
Patrick H. Carr, for a decade and a half the justice of the peace in Adams village, is a prominent man in his vicinity and well-fitted for the office with which he has been honored by his fellow citizens. He was born in Rutland, Vt., March 8, 1851, son of John and Mary (Stanton) Carr, natives of County Mayo, Ireland. In early youth he learned the carpenters' trade and followed this at Adams and several other places. In 1883 he was in charge of a large bridge crew for Winston Bros., contractors for the Northern Pacific, at Missoula, Mont. He subsequently followed carpentering, contracting and bridge building continuously until 1895, when he was elected justice of the peace in the village of Adams. In this capacity he has served continuously, with the exception of one term, since 1895. He is also engaged successfully in the real estate and insurance business. Mr. Carr has been financier of the A. O. U. W. for many years, with much credit. The subject of this sketch was married at Austin, November 26, 1875, to Lyda Bodine, of that city. She died February 21, 1880, at Sumner, Iowa, leaving one son, Benjamin J., born November 22, 1876. Benjamin joined the United States army in 1898 and is still in the service. During his service in the Philippines he acted in the commissary department. Patrick H. Carr is a Democrat in politics and a Catholic in religion.
