Mr. and Mrs. Carnahan came to western Oklahoma in 1898 and filed on a farm near Murphy's Gin. They had made their home in that community since. He had been a member of the New Liberty Methodist church for many years.

He is survived by his wife, four daughters, Mrs. Ruthie Passmore and Mrs. Jewell Robertson both of Sayre, Mrs. Ruby Elliott of Putnam, and Mrs. Effie Baumhaft of Oklahoma City and two sons, Herbie and Wilbur who reside near Sayre. Other survivors are two sisters, Mrs. J. W. Ivester of Sayre and Mrs. Leo Wilsey of Clinton and four brothers, Morgan of Bakersfield, Calif., Otto and Frank of Odessa, Tex., and Sanford of Miami, Tex. Twelve grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren also survive. He was preceded in death by three children.

Bearers for the rites will be Walter Kiener, Percy McClain, Doyle Thetford, Orlan Matthews, Rogers Rutherford and Jim Hinds.

Committal will be in the Lone Oak cemetery with the Seroggins Funeral home in charge of arrangements.
