Thomas Carney

Biography

Thomas Carney (1824-1888) stood as a thoughtful and compassionate member of the Mount Muncie community, offering steady counsel to family and friends even in the most trying seasons. He took solace in the simple wonders of daily life—bright mornings, honest conversation, and the satisfaction of a day’s work completed well.

His memory endures in the quiet acts of kindness he showed his neighbors, the stories he told children on porches, and the sense that wherever he went he left a place a little more peaceful than he found it.
