Everything on this record for D.J. Carringer appears to be correct.  I noted that his first cousin, Anthony Spangler Carringer is just below him on the record page, age 26 and a blacksmith.

David Jackson (D.J.) and Rebecca (Spangler) Carringer are my 2nd great-grandparents through their son Henry Austin Carringer (1853-1946), my great-grandfather, who married Abbie Ardell (Della) Smith (1864-1944) in 1887 in Wano, Kansas.
