John Francis Carey was born on February 8th, 1916 in Danville, IL to John Francis Carey and Rosa Amelia Whipple.  He was the 5th of nine children.  The 1920 U.S. Census shows him living with his father, mother and five of his siblings at 615 Douglas Ave,  Danville, IL.   The family still lived at this address but now show 8 children in the house.


On June 26th,1937, John Francis married Georgeana Orr at St. Paul's Catholic Church in Marion, IN and moved to Marion. He was working as an Inspector at the Marion Malleable iron works in 1938 and living at 2717 S. Boots Street.
