Carl was born on May 3, 1927, in Chillicothe, Ohio to Vera and Claude Janes. He graduated from Chillicothe High School in 1944, and promptly joined the United States Navy where he served from 1944-1947. He married Lois Jean Knapp on December 20, 1952.
In 1962, Carl and Lois started the Corner Market Deli and Grocery Store at the corner of Blacksmith Hill and Charleston Pike. Carl worked for Jones implement during the day while Lois tended to the store. As the business grew, Carl transitioned to working at the Corner Market full time, with Lois acting as the bookkeeper. They continued in this manner for the next 30 years. Today, the Corner Market is a thriving country store – still owned by the Janes Family – and is now part of a Company that had its beginning with the long hours that Carl and Lois spent at the original store.
