Notes for Michael Joseph (Spouse 1)
Mike Farabaugh was one of Carrolltown's most popular and influential residents. He was raised in Susquehanna Township, Cambria County, Pa.
In his youth Mike worked as a printer for the old Cresson Record and had his own butcher shop in Carrolltown. In 1905, when he was 26, he became the burgess of Carrolltown and served in intervals for 20 years. In 1910, he bought his father's photography studio. Fire destroyed the studio about 1920, and 22,000 negatives were destroyed. Mike started over in the rooms at the east end of the old Eckenrode Store building, later occupied by the American Legion. He then built the two story Farabaugh Studio, with its cameras on the ground floor and its developing facilities on the second floor. He retired from his photography in 1957, and relatives discarded virtually all of his negatives after he died in 1959.
Mike was a Justice of the Peace for 17 years, and a member of the borough council in later life. He also raised prize-winning beagles. He played the violin and clarinet, and had his own orchestra in the 1920's. He had a foster daughter, Margaret Delaney.
