Mr. Carroll was almost a life long member of the Methodist church, havingjoined that denomination in 1854, and for years he has been a faithful member of the church in this city and he was always to be found inattendance up to three years ago when his hearing became so bad he had to give up what to him was much more than a duty. He was only sick for a week before his death, which was due to old age. To not many men is it given to round out more than four score years, and the advanced agespeaks well for the good habits and righteous living of the deceased.
A remarkable fact about this family is that they are reputed to be the oldest family in the state, as their average age, including the deceased,was over 75. Mr. Carroll had 24 living grand children and three greatgrandchildren. The funeral was held at the M. E. church Tuesday afternoon, the pastor, Rev. Bretnell, preaching the funeral sermon fromthe text; "Blessed are they which do die in the Lord and their works dofollow with them."
