- Biography
- An individual named Carroll appears on a 1911 organizational staff chart from President William Howard Taft’s White House. Carroll earned $720 per year under Chief Usher Irwin “Ike” Hoover.1 It is likely Carroll was janitor because they are listed on the chart with a man named John Boardley who earned the same salary and worked as a janitor at this time. Additional details about Carroll’s life remain unknown.
