Carmichael,
Neil |
|
(B. 1797) He lived to be 86. He was elected as
sheriff of Marion County twice, the first during a great depression and he
refused to enforce collections by levy or by sale of property during this
time. The collectors had him arrested and the sheriff ended up behind bars
in his own jail. Throughout his incarceration of 20 months, he attended to
business as usual though he remained in his own jail. He was known as
'Kindhearted Carmichael'. |
