Jacob Berger, by a will dated June 16, 1847, left it to his four children. Through the death of his brother and sisters, intestate and without children, it became the property of Francis A. Berger of “Taylor County, West Virginia, but now of Frederick,” who deeded it to C. C. Carty, in 1892.
According to members of the family, although C. C. Carty purchased the red brick house in 1892, it was not until July 1910 that the family moved into it. He had lived with his family over the furniture store next door, where J. Walker Carty first cousins of Clarence, now is the proprietor.
C.C. Carty was first married to Joanna Fox. They had six children, Margaret, Mrs. J.R. Jones, William A., Arthur C., Charles C., Harry E., and Frank R. Carty all deceased.
