HERMAN HERSCHEL CARR
Herman Herschel Carr, 93, of Crossville, passed away Feb. 5, 2001, after a recent illness at WyndRidge Health and Rehabilitation Center. Funeral services were conducted Feb. 7 from the chapel of Bilbrey Funeral Home, with burial in Crossville City Cemetery. Bro. Phil Jenkins and Bro. Wade Webster officiated, with special singing by the Church of Christ Singers.
Mr. Carr was born Sept. 9, 1907, in Overton County, TN, the son of William and Susan Handy Carr.
A long-time resident of Cumberland County, Mr. Carr was the well-known owner of My Barber Shop, and also owned the Travel Court on Hwy. 70 for several years. He was a respected church leader, businessman and devoted family man. An active member of Crossville Church of Christ, he once served as elder. He was also involved with the VFW and the Senior Citizens Club.
He was a U.S. Army veteran of World War II, serving in the Philippines, and is said to have been a barber to Gen. Douglas MacArthur. In 1998 he was honored by the Dept. of Veteran Affairs as being the oldest living veteran in Cumberland County.
Throughout his life, he enjoyed playing basketball and played for the Alpine Institute at a national tournament in 1926. An avid gardener, he spent much of his later years growing flowers at various places in Crossville. His warm personality and sense of humor were what made him a special person. His love of reading the Bible and singing church hymns was very much a part of his life. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends.
Survivors include his daughter, Jeannetta Toungette of Nashville; daughter-in-law, Margaret Beaty of Crossville; stepdaughter, Mary Nell Robinette of Kingsport, TN, stepsons, Gene Webb and James Webb, both of Dayton, OH; sister, Myrtle Norris of Rickman, TN; granddaughters, Angela Toungette and Theresa Toungette, both of Nashville; and numerous stepgrandchildren and step-great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by two loving wives, Mary Lowe Carr and Lorene Webb Carr; and a brother, Claude Carr.
Pallbearers were members of Crossville Church of Christ, Eddie Brown, Bill Foland, Tate Welch, Elmo Lewis, Ray Jernigan and Larry McDuffee.
Bilbrey Funeral Home was in charge of the arrangements.
