Reason Carrico was born in Sullivan county, Indiana, May 6th, 1828. Died on the 15th day of April, 1915, at his daughter's, Mrs. Roda Hines, near Raymondville, in this county. He professed the christian religion in his youtgful days and joined the Methodist church, of which he lived a member until death. Brother Carrico was married three times, his wives having preceded him in death. His last marriage was in the year 1866 in Indiana to Dorcas Jane Wallace. To this union were born seven children, two boys and five girls, all of whom are living except one girl, who died in infancy. Those living are Mrs. Ida May Hines, of Raymondville; Mrs. Belle Kelly, of Baker, Oregon; Mrs. Roda Hines, Mrs. Louie Courtney and Willie Carrico, of Raymondville, and Eliza Carrico, of Glenoak, Okla. Other children resulted from the other unions, but the writer has not been furnished with their names. The children, together with a number of other relatives and friends, are left to mourn the loss of a dear father and a faithful friend.

Brother Carrico suffered a great deal for several months, but his daughter with whom he lived, with the other children and friends, did all they could do to relieve his sufferings. For some years he was unable to see, having lost his eyesight altogether, yet he was patient for an old man, having lived out his three score years and ten, and many times in his last days he expressed his faith and love for his Saviour, the writer having the privilege of visiting him twice and holding service. We always left him praising his Saviour. His last testimony was that he was ready and willing to die, and his last word was "Glory."

Weep not, children, as those who have no hope, for your father's blindness has disappeared, and he is walking the streets of the New Jerusalem, singing and praising his God.

On Friday afternoon, after having songs and prayers at the home, the remains were carried to the Allen graveyard and there in the presence of a congregation of friends and relatives, the writer preached his funeral from the first three verses of the 14th chapter of St. John, after which all that was mortal was laid to rest to await the resurrection morn.
