| gagged In the service of his country.
Perhaps the greatest service he did
was in bringing Maryland into the
rank OF states for independence. The
large majority was opposed to separa-
ton from the mother country, and the
state delegates were pledged to oppose
the idea In congress. But Carroll was
for separation, and, by his untirlng eff
forts he succeeded in changing the SEN
timent of his state to his side.
On the 4th OF July, 1776, the very day
the declaration was passed at Phila-
delphin, he was elected to congress, and
thus became one OF the immortal galaxy
whose names are affixed TO that charter
of our liberties.
In 1910, when past his three-score
years and ten, Mr.. Carroll retired from
public life, but he was not TO retire from
public sight
On July 4, 1921, the fact that only
four Of the signers of the Declaration Of
Independence were still living was no.
ticed in many Of the newspapers OF the
time. Thirty days afterward, one Of
them. William Floyd, of New York, was
dead. The death of John Adams and
Thomas jefferson on July 4, 1926, left
Charles Carroll the last surviving
signer. He lived almost seven years
longer. On July I, 1928, after he had
passed the nge of 90 years, In the pres
ence of vast concourse Of spectators,
and attended by an imposing civic pro-
cession, he laid the cornerstone Of the
Baltimore q Ohio railroad. He died
November II. 1892, at the age Of o5 years.
II Is customary to suppose that only
the lower and middle classes embraced
the cause Of liberty in the revolutionary
contest. But this opinion is not war
ranted by the facts. Many Of the
wealthiest men in the colonies were
ardent patriots. Washington and the
Lees. Of Virginia, were wealthy men.
John Hancock and Robert Morris were
each the most affluent individual in his
respective state. The Livingstons. of
New York, ranked among the greatest
