CARBERRY, JOSEPH A short distance out on the Oshkosh road stands the old Carberry Corners, which has been the seat of the family of that name for many years. Its present inhabitant is Joseph Carberry, who has made it his home since 1892 and has improved the farm land surrounding it until it is now one of the most valuable tracts of cultivated land in the vicinity.

Joseph Carberry was born in Friendship township and was a son of Charles and Mary (McDebitt) Carberry. His early education was received in the public schools of his native township, and was a graduate of the high school of Fond du Lac county. He has followed the career of farming since he entered upon his active life. His methods are efficient, his equipment modern, and his interest in his chosen field of labor has been unwavering since he commenced his business activities in 1888. In that year he settled on a farm in Empire to the cultivation of which he gave his energies and talents, when he removed to his ancestry homestead of Carberry Corners. The fertile fields surrounding the house have improved under his direction and control to a remarkable extent. His talent for farming is inborn, and the success in this line is a result of a natural tendency toward agricultural pursuits and hard work in the development of the resources which he has at hand. He is well known in local circles and held the position of town clerk for six years, making a record in that office which has seldom equaled. His is a charter member of the Wisconsin National Guards. His career since its beginning has been marked by great industry and an appreciation of the value of uninterrupted labor which is the foundation of all true success.
