| Obituary of JOHN CARSON |
| The spirit of John Carson winged its way to that bourne
from whence no traveler has ever returned on Tuesday morning, February
21st. For the past three months he has laid at the home of his father,
"Uncle Andy" Carson, in the north part of town, slowly succumbing tot he
dread ravages of consumption, and for a number of weeks it has been known
that his recovery was most an impossibility and to them aware of this
fact, this announcement will cause no surprise. John Carson has been a
resident of Coldwater almost from the foundation of the town, and was
always regarded as on eof the healthy, robust young colored men of the
place, and ill thought anyone that so soon would the Great Destropyer call
him hence. The funeral services were held at the M. E. church, Wednesdy
afternoon, where Rev. Woodburn preached a touching sermon, accompanied
with a few selections by the choir. After the services a large concourse
followed the remains to their last resting place in the cemetery, east of
town. |
