Death of Grandma Carmichael
Mrs. Rebecca Carmichael died at the home of her son, P. R. Carmichael, near Mambrino, on Tuesday night at 9 o'clock and her remains were buried in Acton Cemetery alongside those of her husband on Thursday afternoon, funeral services being conducted by Rev. G. A. Fitzgerald. She had been very feeble for several years, but not a sufferer, and death came to her as the result of old age.
Deceased was born in Tennessee October 27, 1834. Hence was approaching 87 years of age at the time of her death. She was married to Maj. Arch Carmichael in 1852, and a few years later came to Texas, locating in Hood County in 1859. She was the mother of eight children, four of whom are living -- Dr. A, G. W., P. R. and J. G. Carmichael, all well-known citizens of Hood County. There are 19 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.
Mrs. Carmichael was one of the real pioneer settlers of Hood County and in early life endured all the hardships of the pioneer mother, caring for her children and home when her husband was away chasing the redskins from the settlements. Maj. Carmichael passed away nearly 25 years ago, since which time Grandma Carmichael had made her home with her children.
In early life she professed religion and united with the Presbyterian Church, being an active worker while she had strength, and was loved by all who knew her. In their time of sorrow the family has the sincere sympathy of all their friends.
