Major changes in this family in August, 2001 as presumed father William A. of Randolph Co., NC, who may be very closely related, was detached as presumed father pending further investigation. Willam A. Carr is a descendant of William Carr of Westmoreland Co., VA.
Descendants of William Austin Carr Generation No. 1 1. William Austin1 Carr was born Bef. 1761. Notes for William Austin Carr: Probably not the same man from Randolph Co., NC, son of Joseph Carr and Jane
Reid, that was thought to be the ancestor for some years. Descendants indicate
that they are closely related to Patrick 'Paddy' Carr who resided in Jefferson
Co., GA, and who was said to have been from Ireland and who lived for some time
in NC. It is possible that Tobe Carr who made this assertion found the
information in the same article published by biographers of Paddy Carr that I
did. William A. Carr or William Orson Carr of Randolph Co., NC shares the birth &
death dates commonly reported for this William Austin Carr, of 20 May 1763 and 6
Apr 1848. His will and his wife's will each identify the children (legitimate)
of their marriage, and though descendant of his father, Joseph Carr, were in
Georgia, only scant circumstantial evidence can provide a potential link to this
branch. That William A. Carr does not descend from the Louisa Co., VA Carrs, but
is of the Westmoreland Co., VA branch, and was a loyalist during the war, being
related by marriage to David Fanning. Memo: 5 generations Child of William Austin Carr is: + 2 i. Henry Alexander2 Carr, born Bet. 1781 -
1783 in NC or GA; died Bef. 12 Feb 1848 in Jackson, Hinds, MS. Generation No. 2 2. Henry Alexander2 Carr (William Austin1)
was born Bet. 1781 - 1783 in NC or GA, and died Bef. 12 Feb 1848 in Jackson,
Hinds, MS. He married Mary Downs 1799 in GA, daughter of Isaac Downs and
<Unknown>. She was born 26 Oct 1784 in MD, and died 09 Oct 1851 in Water Valley,
Yalobusha, MS. Notes for Henry Alexander Carr: Henry is thought by many to be a child of William A. Carr of Randolph Co.,
NC, and he named his son William A. Carr, Jr. Both William Austin Carr and his
wife, Susannah, left wills identifying children, and neither mentioned Henry. He
could have been a very close relative, however, and only shows up as witness on
deeds in the month of presumed grandfather Joseph Carr's death, but is not
identified as a grandson. Several of William's children migrated to Georgia, to
Jones County, early in the 1800's. Fort Hawkins was built in 1806 in Baldwin
County, and was in Jones County until Bibb County was created some years later.
Today, the Fort is at a point near the county line and adjacent to the Ocmulgee
National Monument. Henry Carr served at the fort, and married a daughter of Col.
Hawkins, for whom it was named. Fort Hawkins was in Jones County (now in Macon,
Bibb, GA). Another family with a William Austin Carr was in Anson Co., NC where William
A. Carr was born about 1780 and married Frances Lanier. The right age to be a
brother of this man? He was a private and rose to Lieutenant Col. in a Georgia regiment and served
to the end of the war. He was Quartermaster General under General Andrew Jackson
at the Battle of New Orleans. (I have not found the source for this information,
but he was mentioned as Capt. Henry Carr in the estate sale of Benjamin Hawkins
in 1816). Was a Captain in a Georgia Co. and served in the Creek War, having
been promoted to Captain by Gen. Andrew Jackson for gallant conduct on the
battlefield between the Regular Army and the Indians near Macon, GA. A group of soldiers were organized in October, 1814 at Fort Hawkins and
joined with Andrew Jackson in Mobile. Jones Co., Georgia was formed by an act of the Legislature December 10, 1807
from Baldwin County which was formed May 11, 1803. Jones County was laid out in
1807; part added from Putnam in 1810; a five mile slice given to Bibb in 1822,
and since then her boundaries have remained stationary. Henry Carr was buried in the same plot as his son and daughter-in-law William
A. Carr II and Virginia Hawkins, in Water Valley, Yalobusha, MS. He was
estranged from his wife at the time he wrote his will. WILL RECORD BOOK 1 (AUG 27, 1832-- AUG 31, 1859), 2nd DISTRICT, HINDS COUNTY,
MISSISSIPPI --- RAYMOND, MISSISSIPPI; pages 209-211: "January Term 1848 "I, Henry Carr, of the county of Yalobusha and State of Mississippi, do make
and publish this my last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills by
me any time made. "First, I direct that my funeral expenses and all of my just debts be paid as
soon after death as possible out of any monies that I may die possessed of, or
may first give into the hands of my executor. "Second, I direct that the following negro slaves for life, to wit--Amy, a
mulatto woman about 35 years old; Franklinne, a mulatto boy and child of Amy
about six years old; Johanna, a mulatto girl and child of Amy about 4 years old;

girl and child of Henrietta, a mulatto and a grandchild of Amy about three years
old; and Martha Amelia, a mulatto girl and child of Henrietta and grandchild of
Amy about one year old, shall at my death, or as soon thereafter as convenient,
be set free and released from bondage and slavery by my executor, in the manner
hereinafter specified after paying and satisfying the specific legacies. "Thirdly, I direct that the said slaves, Amy and her children and
grandchildren, shall be sent to some territory, government, or State where they
can enjoy their liberty and freedom in as full and ample a manner as if they had
been born free --- and there set at liberty and given their liberty according to
the laws, customs, and usages of such territory, government, or State; and for
the purpose of transporting said slaves and defraying their expenses I do hereby
give and bequeath unto Perry C. Carr in trust for the said slaves the sum of two
hundred dollars out of my personal estate to be expended by him and appropriated
for that use and no other whatever. "Fourthly, I give and bequeath unto my oldest child and daughter, Epsy B.
Gilliland, in addition to what she has heretofore received by way of
advancement, one dollar in cash. "Fifthly, I give and bequeath unto my second son, Benjamin H. Carr, in
addition to what he has heretofore received by way of advancement, one dollar in
cash. "Sixthly, I direct that my negro man slave for life named Isaac, about 40
years old; Peggy his wife, a woman about 40 years old; Isaac, a boy and child of
Peggy about 18 years old; Florida, a girl and child of Peggy, about 14 years

child of Amy about 13 years old; Anderson, a boy and child of Amy about 11 years
old; Clinton a boy and child of Amy about 9 years old; Sarah a girl and child of
Amy about 7 years old, together with all of the other personal property which I
may have at the time of my death, may be disposed of as follows, to wit: One 6th or a child's part of the whole amount, after paying funeral expenses,
just debts, court costs, executors commissions, and counsel fees, I give and
bequeath unto my wife, Mary Carr, who lives separate and apart from me in fee
simple. "Seventhly, the residue of my estate, after paying the specific legacies
hereinbefore mentioned and the expenses of transporting and removing Amy and her
children and grandchildren as aforesaid, I give and bequeath unto my son William
Carr and my son George W. Carr, to be equally divided among them. If an
equitable division cannot in the opinion of my executor be conveniently made
between them, I direct that the same shall be sold on a credit of 6 months and
the money arising from such sale divided as aforesaid. " Eighthly, I give and bequeath unto Perry C. Carr, in trust for the use and
benefit of Johanna, a mulatto girl and child of Amy, the bed, bedstead, bed
clothes, and bedding which I now use and occupy for myself, to be her right and
property when she obtains her feedom. " I do hereby nominate, constitute, and appoint my son Perry C. Carr my
executor, and in consequence of death, removal, or refusal to act, I do hereby
nominate, constitute, and appint William Carr in his stead, with instructions to
all and either of them to employ if necessary Franklin E. Plummer as a Counselor
in the said business, and particularly in relation to the emancipation of the
negro woman Amy and her children and grandchildren aforesaid, and to be governed
by his advice. In testimony whereof I hereunto set my hand and affix my seal the
15th day of March A.D. 1847 to this my last will and testament. Henry Carr" (seal) "Signed, sealed, and delivered, published, and promulgated in the presence of
the undersigned, disinterested witnesses, and our names signed hereto in the
presence of the said Henry Carr, the testator, on the day and year last
aforesaid. Attest: George W. Robinson Attest: William T. Chance Attest: F. E. Plummer probated 12 Feb. 1848 It is interesting that his son is named William Austin Carr Jr., but the only
record I have found that links Henry Carr directly to his presumed father,
William Austin Carr of Randolph Co., NC is a single deed to which Henry was a
witness, related to his presumed grandfather, Joseph Carr. His recorded
birthdate may be wrong - the date is exactly twenty years to the day after his
presumed father, whose grave is in Randolph Co., NC. The following information is provided as research information about other
Carr families that have been linked (without documentation) to this family: According to the 1860 Yalobusha Co., MS census: A Jonathan Carr, Jr. resided adjacent the Pearson family, whose daughter
married a Carr from another line. This line included Jonathan, b c 1820 and wife
Ann E. (both born in NC). Children Henry E. Carr, 23 (b c 1837) NC J. H. or J. W. Carr, 21 (b c 1839) NC (Joshua per 1850 Sampson Co.) William A. Carr, 19 (b c 1841) NC James H. Carr, 17,(b c 1843) NC Lucy Jane Carr, 12 (b c 1848) NC Sarah E. Carr, 9 (b c 1851) NC Temperence Carr, 7 (b c 1853) NC Edward M. Carr, 4 (b c 1856) NC Samuel Carr, 2 (b c 1858) NC Anna Carr, 1 (b c 1859) MS The family listed immediately above was in the 1850 Sampson Co., NC census
and descends from Patrick Car of Bertie Co., NC. It may be this family that had
Lewis Perry Carr "Uncle Tobe" claiming to descend from Patrick Carr of NC and
Georgia. Another Patrick Carr is mentioned in 'The King's Mountain Men' : "Patrick
came from Ireland before the Revolution, was a captain under Colonel Clark in
the attack on Augusta in September, 1780, and was under Sumter at Blackstock.
The statement that he killed one hundred tories must be an exaggeration, if to
be understood as a personal matter. His murder in 1802, in Jefferson County,
Georgia, is said to have been by a son of a tory he had killed. At King's
Mountain he was under Major Chandler." This is obviously the Patrick Carr that
"Uncle Tobe" was mentioning, as the "killed 100 men" was in the story. Is it
possible that this Patrick Carr was the son of the other one that went from
Ireland to North Carolina and is mentioned above? Patrick Carr did have a
grandson with his name, of which no more is known. There is no known connection to this Carr family, but it is interesting that
they come from NC - where the Carr family is "known to have resided," according
to family traditions, and that it includes a Henry and a William A., as does the
family which married the Pearsons. A Henry Carr was a Capt., married to Mary Griffin in Early Co., GA, dau of
John and Mary Griffin. I do not think that it was this man. Mary Griffin's
father, John Griffin, left his will 11 Oct 1822 (pro. 7 Jan 1823) mentioning
executors Capt. Henry Carr and wife, Mary Griffin. Notes for Mary Downs: Mary Downs was said to be the sister of Lavinia Downs. Lavinia is thought to
have been of the Creek tribe. No such stories are told about Mary, but there
were few "white" women in Georgia when it was wilderness. One census record
indicates she said she was born in Maryland, and a family of Downs did move from
Maryland to Georgia. She (and her sister Lavinia) could have been half Creek. Children of Henry Carr and Mary Downs are: 3 i. Epsey B.3 Carr, born 08 Sep 1801 in GA; died
Aft. 1850. She married (1) Jonathan Gilliland; born Abt. 1812 in
AL; died Aft. 1850. She married (2) <Unknown> Walker. Notes for Epsey B. Carr: or Epsie B. Carr or Epsy B. Carr. This name was used in the
Downs family. 1850 Mary Downs, mother, resided with Epsey Carr according to
the Water Valley, MS 1850 census. The name Epsie may be short for Hepsibah. + 4 ii. Capt. William Austin Carr II, born 05 Mar 1803 in GA;
died 13 Aug 1857 in Water Valley, Yalobusha, MS. + 5 iii. Benjamin Hawkins Carr, born 14 Jun 1812 in GA; died
Aft. 1860. + 6 iv. Perry Cook Carr, born 22 May 1814 in prob. GA; died
05 Jun 1862 in Richmond, Henrico, CSA, VA. + 7 v. George Washington Carr, born 07 Jun 1816 in GA; died
Abt. 1885 in GA. Generation No. 3 4. Capt. William Austin3 Carr II (Henry Alexander2,
William Austin1) was born 05 Mar 1803 in GA, and died 13 Aug 1857 in
Water Valley, Yalobusha, MS. He married Virginia Hawkins 24 Feb 1825 in
Ft. Hawkins, Pulaski Co., GA, daughter of Benjamin Hawkins and Lavinia Downs.
She was born 06 Mar 1811 in GA, and died 03 Oct 1851 in Water Valley, Yalobusha,
MS. Notes for Capt. William Austin Carr II: The family of William Carr donated to Water Valley, MS the grounds on which
stand the Water Valley Grammar School, a Masonic Lodge, and the Oak Hill
Cemetery. Donated land for the courthouse, a Railroad Hotel and the Right-of-Way
for the Mississippi Central RR. Was appointed Postmaster of Water Valley, Yalobusha Co., MS 27 Jul 1848. Adapted from Godspeed's "Memoirs of Mississippi" : "Water Valley began its growth in the early 1830s. William A. Carr had the
first store and blacksmith shop and was the first postmaster. Lewis Lawshe,
whose wife was a sister of William A. Carr, Jr.'s wife, also came about this
time, as did E. F. Crisp. Henry Carr and William Carr's land originally extended
from Honeycutt to Velma. They later sold land to Henry Hill. The next to build
after Hill was Mr. Hendricks." A festival is held in Water Valley, MS each August celebrating "Turkey Bill
Carr", who as a child was captured by Indians, and who is said to have been one
of the earliest white residents of Yalobusha County, MS. I do not know if that
is "my" William, but it sounds like it ought to be! Children of William Carr and Virginia Hawkins are: + 8 i. Madison Henry4 Carr, born 08 Oct 1826 in
Macon, Bibb, GA; died 12 Apr 1895 in Yalobusha Co., MS. 9 ii. William Austin Carr III, born 21 Jan 1829 in GA; died
Bef. Nov 1847 in war in Mexico. Notes for William Austin Carr III: He likely died before brother William Downs Carr was born in
Nov, 1847. He died during the Mexican War of measles. + 10 iii. Benjamin Hawkins Carr, born 08 Dec 1830 in FL; died
in Water Valley, Yalobusha, MS. 11 iv. Mary Lavinia Carr, born 05 May 1832 in SC; died 12 Dec
1832 in GA. Notes for Mary Lavinia Carr: A family record indicates born SC, but may have been GA + 12 v. Cherokee Ann Carr, born 14 Nov 1833 in GA; died 28
Dec 1869 in MS. + 13 vi. Lewis Perry 'Tobe' Carr, born 16 Apr 1836 in GA;

Yalobusha Co., MS; died 08 Mar 1892 in MS. Notes for William Downs 'Willie' Carr: or d. 1924 5. Benjamin Hawkins3 Carr (Henry Alexander2,
William Austin1) was born 14 Jun 1812 in GA, and died Aft. 1860. He
married Susan Cole Bef. 1835. She was born 12 Sep 1819 in NC, and died 02
Jun 1894 in Yalobusha Co., MS. Notes for Benjamin Hawkins Carr: Susan J. Carr b 1856 Yalobusha Co., MS and Lucy P. Carr b 1858 Yalobusa Co.,
MS may be additional children of this family. That would mean two surviving
Susan Carr daughters, unless the first one died young and the second married A.
J. Will. Children of Benjamin Carr and Susan Cole are: 19 i. Charles4 Carr, born Abt. 1835 in FL. + 20 ii. Martha Ann Carr, born 02 Mar 1836 in GA; died 05 Jan

Henry Alexander2, William Austin1) was born 14 Nov 1833 in
GA, and died 28 Dec 1869 in MS. She married Calvin Jones Hunt 22 Oct 1854
in Coffeeville, Yalobusha, MS, son of Thomas Hunt and <Unknown>. He was born 30
Jun 1830 in Habersham Co., GA, and died Aft. 1900 in Red River Par., LA. Notes for Calvin Jones Hunt: Or born 9 Dec 1829. Marietta became a town in 1834. Georgia 1850 census gives age as 21. Mississippi 1860 census gives age as 27.
Jesse Carson and Calvin Jones were likely twins and their mother (1st wife) died
in childbirth, after which Thomas remarried to Elizabeth (Gaddis?). Was named
co-executor in Father, Thomas Hunt's will. Raised in Marietta, GA, went to Water Valley, MS to work as a blacksmith;
married the boss's daughter and set up housekeeping on a cotton plantation near
Water Valley. Private in Co. F, 15th Regt. Miss. Infantry, organized 1861, mustered into
Confederate Army June 1861. T. B. Hale was also a member of this regiment, as
were several Carr men. Only fought in Battle of Shilogh, 6 & 7 April 1862.
Fought in the peach orchard, was in the break-through of Union lines and capture
of General Prnetiss and 2200 union troops. After Shiloh he was put on detached
service as a blacksmith for the remainder of the war. "He had all the buttons shot off his coat, but no wounds at Shiloh. In 1864 a
Union cavalry force of 25,000 let Memphis and went down through Mississippi
across Alabama to Georgia, where they joined General Sherman in Atlanta. They
burned Calvin's plantation, including all buildings, rail fences around it,
looted the house and took everything they could use, burning the rest. They
forced Grandmother Hunt and children to stand by in the road and dressed the
Negro women slaves in her silk clothes and put them on horses behind them and
rode away laughing. Papa was about four years old. Grandma also had a baby in
her arms. So grandmother walked to Water Valley and stayed with her relatives
until the end of the War the following May (1865). The only things they had were
the clothes they were wearing. "When Calvin Hunt arrived back at the old plantation there was nothing lefft,
so he walked into Water Valley and found his family living with her relatives.
Since he had nothing left but his blacksmith skill, he walked to the railroad
shops of the Mississippi Central, which was the northern terminus of the
railroad when the War started. Grandmother Hunt died in 1869. He kept the family

William Austin3, Henry Alexander2, William Austin1)
was born 17 Feb 1854 in Water Valley, Yalobusha, MS, and died 12 Jun 1908 in
Water Valley, Yalobusha, MS. He married Mary Lavenia Davidson 26 Dec 1878
in Yalobusha Co., MS, daughter of Thomas Davidson and Jeffersonia Lawshe. She
was born 01 Jun 1857 in Rosedale, Bolivar, MS, and died 17 Jun 1935 in Baton
Rouge, E. B. R., LA. Notes for Mary Lavenia Davidson: From memoirs of Helen Brank Davidson, a cousin, with whom the orphan children
of Tom & Jeffie resided for some time after 1874: "There were two young ladies in Uncle Tom's family - Cousin Ruth was almost
20 now and Cousin Mary, 17. Lewis was about 15, Tom 12, and the youngest girl
was the same age as my brother Harry, five years older than I. Her name was
Jeffersonia, but we called her "Lovie." "Cousin Ruth was not very pretty and had a slight affliction. I don't know
just how to describe it, but often when engaged in some work she would suddenly
stop and seem to lose herself, gazing straight before her and batting her eyes;
then in a few minutes she would be herself again. "My oldest sister was also named Ruth, and she was almost 14 now; they called
her "Little Ruth" and the other "Big Ruth." Both Cousin Ruth and Cousin Mary
went to dances and played cards. I don't know whether my sister Ruth did or not
at that time. She was nine years older than I and not exactly pretty but she had
a vivid and charming personality. I don't know how my father could have kept her
from taking part in these gaieties. "Cousin Mary got a position in the town school, but Cousin Ruth could only
stay at home. Once when a dance was planned on very short notice, Cousin Ruth
took it into her head that she must have a new dress for the occasion. Mamma
thought Cousin Ruth didn't need it and couldn't make it in one day, but Cousin
Ruth rushed off to town about 5 o'clock, Mamma shouting after her, 'Well, go it,
Old Catalpa!' (Old Catalpa was a bull my father owned.) Cousin Ruth got our
neighbor, Mrs. Allen, to help her cut the dress out, and went to the dance that
evening in yellow tarlatan with black velvet ribbons. "The two girls were having a game of cards one evening in the parlour with
two young men. Cousin Ruth made a very clever or lucky play, and Cousin Mary,
not realizing how it sounded, exclaimed, 'Well Sister, you're not a fool if you
do have fits!' " In April, 1876, her sister Ruth petitioned the Chancery Court, and J.
Bartlett was appointed the children's guardian. October 4, 1876 the Court passed a Decree Procunfesso, declaring that Ruth
had been regularly called to appear before the court to answer "Complaintant's"
bill against her, that she failed to appear or answer the said Bill of Complaint
and that consequently the Court judged against her. Soon thereafter, a court order approved Edward's wish to sell his late
brother-in-law's house and lot for the benefit of heirs at public auction. The
sale was made on December 4 and the property sold for $800. On July 12, 1877, citations were issued to Yalobusha County for Edward and to
Marshall County, where Uncle Frank was now living with Cousin Sissie, because of
their failure to make annual reports of their guardianship. They were granted an
extension of time. This same month Edward severed his relations with the Water
Valley church. In October, the time allowed for making his report was again
extended. Then, on November 10, Ruth, Mary, Thomas and Jeffersonia appeared
before the court asking that their guardian (Edward) be empowered to spend $75
more monthly to adequately clothe, board, and educate each child for the coming
year. The next year there was an order for Edward to make a new bond, though he was
no longer living in Water Valley; and in April, 1879, when he was living in
Oxford, there was an order of attachment and revoking his guardianship,
demanding that he make a final report. Before this time, both Ruth and Mary were
of age, and Mary's husband, William Carr, with her became guardian of the minor
children. The families remained close, and the proceedings were probably "ordinary" in
the case or orphans and guardianships in their late teen years. Helen Brank Davidson continued: "I suppose Papa felt that the people of Water Valley church wanted another
preacher. I guess Uncle Tom had left some money as well as the farm for his
children; anyway, Papa decided to go to Lexington, a small place out from
Durant. He turned the brick house over to Uncle Tom's children. Cousin Mary was
getting married to William Carr, a cousin on her mother's side. The other
children were to stay with her, and she would keep house for all of them." Children of William Carr and Mary Davidson are: 158 i. Earl Davidson6 Carr, born 19 Feb 1880 in

serious nervous disorder, yet her affliction was not generally
regarded of such a nature to cause her death. She was taken ill
on Sunday and the family physician was immediately called in,
yet the community did not realize that she was so seriously ill. In the demise of Mrs. James, there passed to the beyond not
only a lady of more than ordinary talent, but a devoted adherent
of the Baptist Church, a loving mother and a faithful wife. She
was truly a helpmate to her husband. Death always leaves sorrow
and grief in its wake, but when a mother is taken, one who has
small children, the anguish of heart and soul is doubly
intensified. While the community in general always sheds
sympathizing tears for the bereft, the motherless child appeals
with particular tenderness to all who realize and know what the
ministrations and the devotions of "Mother" means to a child.
Without the least irreverence, it would not seem improper to say
that God owes a double duty to a motherless child. "Mrs. James was reared at Water Valley, her maiden name being
Lillian Carr. She is survived by a husband and two children, one
boy and one girl, the oldest being about ten years of age... The
remains were carried to Water Valley for interment...." Notes for Virgil Robert James: Virgil James was the Superintendent of schools for Grenada,
Mississippi. From his obituary: "Virgil R. James, 69, Died After Long Siege of Illness Served as County Supt. Deputy Sheriff and as Circuit Clerk of
County. Virgil R. James died in his home in Grenada Sunday, April
5th, 1936 at about noon. Mr. James had been ill for seven years,
the last three of which he was practically confined to his bed. He was a grandson of Culpepper James who came into the
eastern part of this county over one hundred years ago. His
father was Isaac James, his mother Laura Trussell James. Virgil
James was born at the James old home east of Grenada on the 18th
day of February, 1869. On the 5th day of November, 1901, he and
Miss Lillie Carr, of Water Valley, were married. Two children,
Mr. Julian James, of Jonesboro, Ark., and Mrs. Edna Freeman, of
Hattiesburg, survive this union. Mr. James was married a second
time. His second wife whom he married September 17, 1921 was
Miss Ella Trussell, who survives him. Mr. James had a brilliant record of service to Grenada
county, serving from 1900 until 1916 as county superintendent of
education, 1920-1921 as deputy sheriff under Sheriff D. W. Beck,
and from 1924-1932 as circuit clerk. He also served a short
while in 1919 as supervisor from District Two after the
resignation of J. E. Carpenter. "Virgie" James numbered his friends in Grenada county by the
hundreds. He was an efficient officer, an accomodating friend, a
devoted husband and father, and Grenada county suffered a great
loss when he passed on. It is, perhaps, not amiss here to say that his devoted wife
has, for seven long years, stood by his side as he was wheeled
about in his chair, has sat with him by day and by night, as
occasion required, has ministered to his every physical,mental
and material want, and, by her devotion to her husband and by
her steadfast loyalty to him, has earned the admiration of all
who know of her unselfishness to him as he lay there helpless
and hopeless. It is no wonder, now that her long but hopeless
fight is over, that she lies exhausted. The Sentinel feels that
words are inadequate to express just how the people of Grenada
feel toward this good woman, who has been so loyal, so true, so
faithful, so tender to her mate as he lay there helpless. It was
upon her that the brunt of this long battle fell. That she did
her part well, no one will deny. Funeral services from the First Baptist Church by the Rev. C.
E. Patch - of which Mr. James was a devoted member - were held
Monday afternoon ... Interment in a lot in Odd Fellows cemetery
followed..." 160 iii. William Overton Carr, Jr., born 01 Dec 1885 in Water
