I do not know of any Payroll records for the Stone Quarries of Carthage
but I did find this information in the 1883 History of Jasper County.

"There is much good limestone for building, paving and flagging obtained
near town. The Garner quarry, on Kendrick's farm, one mile north of
town, is operated by the Gilfillan Stone Company, of Fort Scott Kansas.
They ship to St. Louis, and it is said to be a popular stone in that
market. They are putting in new machinery, which will enable them to
ship a car load a day."
