Chester Carson was the fifth of eight children born to William Palmer Carson (1845-1929) and Martha Mahulda Dailey (1849-1933). Chester's grandfather, Walter Harrison Carson (who grew up in York County, SC. before moving to Clarke County, Georgia.) had moved to the Hebron Community of Franklin County, Georgia (now Banks) in the mid 1850's. Some years later he bought land on Little Creek in the Ashland Community on present Hwy. 59 and gave a portion to each of his four children: James, Margaret, Thomas, and William. William built on his portion in 1879-80 and Chester was born there on January 5, 1881. He was baptized at Hebron Church on May 1, 1881. He attended Old Central School, finishing all classes that were offered. He was quite good with numbers and could figure in his head by rounding off, similar to some of the "new math" methods. He read the Bible, a daily newspaper, farm magazines, and church material, but never read books in any great numbers. He stayed in the ancestral home, sharing the farm chores with his father and brothers. A gentle man of small frame with beautiful blue eyes, he loved nothing better than to visit with family and friends on the porch in the summer time or to share the circle of warmth around the fire on a cold winter evening either at home or at a neighbors.

Mr. Chester Carson, seventy-six, died at home early Thursday, following two or three years of declining health. He had been confined to his bed for two weeks and his passing was no surprise to those who knew of his condition. His home is the old Willie Carson home, where he was born and where he spent his life. He was never known to be guilty of any kind of misconduct. His standard of living was noble and of high quality. He was a clean life unassuming and honorable.
He was a lifetime member of Hebron Presbyterian Church and was a longtime member of the board of deacons and had filled other important posts in the church. He is survived by his wife, the former Ruth Glasure, and a daughter, Jane who is a junior at Flora MacDonald College in North Carolina, and a son, William, a junior at Franklin County High School, also a sister, Miss Ora, who is an invalid and has always lived at the old home; one brother, Mr. Ivan Carson of Dalton, Georgia and a number of nieces and nephews.
Funeral services were held at Hebron Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 with the pastor, Rev. James Coad officiating.
After praying for the Holy Spirit's guidance and comfort for the occasion, Mr. Coad read appropriate and meaningful portions of Scripture, emphazing the influence shed from the light of a Christian's life. He paid a fitting tribute to Mr. Carson.
During the service, Rock of Ages and Abide With Me, were sung by Mr. and Mrs. Hobson Johnson, accompanied by Mrs. Ben Martin at the piano.
Nephews were the pallbearers. Interment was in the church cemetery with Sanders Funeral Home in charge.
