Gayle Raymond Carver, 92, died Friday, Dec. 30, 2006 in Greenville, Kentucky.
He was the son of Claude Lester Carver and Ammie B. Lyon Carver. He graduated from Greenville High School in 1932 and attended Western Kentucky University for two years. He was appointed curator of the Kentucky Building on Western's campus in 1940. He loved his work and was there for 31 years before retiring in 1971 and returning home to Greenville. A short time later he began volunteering at the Harbin Memorial Library helping people trace their family trees. His sharp mind and vivid recall of Muhlenberg County families started many people on their journey into researching their family roots. He was instrumental in beginning the genealogy department which in turn led to the building of the library annex which contains extensive research material on families from hundreds of counties in several states. He remained there for about 10 years. With the passing of Gayle Carver, Muhlenberg County has lost a great treasure, not only because of his seemingly unlimited knowledge of this county, but because he was a great man who was loved and admired by more people than he realized. He was preceded in death by his parents; a sister, Mary Louise Carver and a brother, Lester Glenn Carver.
