Carl Faith    

CARL FAITH. Studiously attentive to the business of his office and courteously considerate of all requests for favors and information of which his branch is custodian, is the record of Carl Faith in the office of district clerk of Wise County. He has been there now since 1900, four consecutive terms, and so capably has he performed his duties that there is no apparent disposition to displace him. Mr. Faith was born in Davis County, Kentucky, June 2, 1876, but has been raised in Wise County, having been brought here by his parents when two years of age. He is the son of B.W. Faith, who has been long known as a prominent Wise County farmer and citizen. One of the characteristics of Mr. Faith’s office work is neatness; some others are legibility and cleanliness, conditions which are revealed upon an examination of the books and documents of this office. These facts are indicative of the use of carefulness and system in the routine work which goes on there and are conditions deplorably absent in very many of the county offices of the State. Doubtless Mr. Faith at any time can place his hand on any document or book that is desired, which is a great source of pleasure and convenience to all who have business with the department. Mr. Faith is married and resides at Decatur. His wife was Miss Ora Turney, daughter of Dr. J. W. Turney, of Robt. Lea, Texas, whom he married July 30, 1905.
