“This quarry is located about one-half mile west of the east quarry of the Carthage Marble and White Lime Co.  E. O’Keefe is president of the company, F. W. Steadly is secretary and treasurer….The company owns nine acres of land on which the quarry is situated.

The quarry consists of an irregular opening…The stone is essentially the same as that obtained at the other quarries, being a coarsely crystalline, bluish gray to white limestone.

Quarrying is now being carried on in the southwestern portion, where exceptionally good stone is being taken out.

The quarry and mill are both equipped with modern machinery, including a Sullivan Y and Wordwellchannelers, derricks, steam pumps, gang-saws, rip-saws, hoists, boilers and engine. The quarry has a capacity of 1,000 cubic feet per day.  It is operated all the year and employs an average of twenty-five men.”
