Census information:
1865 at Westminster, MA: John Cary, 50, laborer; wife, Bridget, 37; and children, Ann, 5, Thomas, 2, and John, three months.
John and his wife Katie lived at 62 Union Street in South Gardner according to the 1900 U.S. census. They had been married twelve years and they had three children: Hattie, 9, Annie, 7, and Catherine, 3. John worked in the chair making industry.
The Careys moved back to John's hometown by 1910. They seem to have lived on the road now called Minott Road but it was not called that back then. It was referred to as the Road to Minott Street. Minott Road turns into Minott Street in Gardner once you hit the town line. John was a farmer. Two children were in the home at the time: Catherine, 13, and John F., 9.
The 1920 census calls their neighborhood the "road to Minott District". John's property was called a farm but he was working as a chair maker at a chair shop. It was just him and his wife. The children had all moved out.
The 1930 census states they lived on Minott Road. Mr. Carey was still in the chair industry. Ten years later John had retired and the couples' son, John F. Carey, 39, had moved back home. He had become a lawyer.
