J. M. CARROLL, AGED RESIDENT HERE, DIED
TUESDAY AFTERNOON
With the death of James Monroe Carroll, father of Mrs. J. H. Sturgis of this city, Monday afternoon at 1:20, another of the early residents of Texas passed away. He had been in ill health for a few weeks, and his death was not altogether unexpected. He died at the home of his daughter.
Mr. Carroll was born January 17, 1840, in Shady Grove, Ga. His early life was spent there, and at the opening of the Civil war he enlisted from Georgia, becoming a sharpshooter. He served valiantly throughout the war, and was in the battle of Chicamauga, and in both battles of Murfreesboro. After the war he removed to Texas, settling in Meridian, where he began the practice of pharmacy, and operated a drug store. He came to Waco in 1877, and has been here ever since, except for the time he spent in Gatesville, where he conducted a hardware business. He was a member of the Methodist Church, and was one of the most revered and respected citizens of the city. All knew him as one who was always loving and kind, and possessed of those attributes that cause one to be loved by all. Mr. Carroll is survived by only two children, Mrs. J. H. Sturgis of Waco and Will Carroll of Dallas. The funeral will be held Tuesday morning at 10:30 o'clock from the J. H. Sturgis residence, 1316 Washington street, Rev. C. T. Caldwell, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, officiating, and interment will be made in Oakwood cemetery. The following will be the active pall bearers: J.W. Baker, W.H. Cockcroft, W.S. Gillespie, Dr. Frank Forman, B.R. Mason and Richard Jurney.
