His obituary reads as follows:
"Time in his unerring flight will soon mark another round upon his dial and another year is almost garnered into the past. While as a part of eternity it is inappreciable as a drop of water to the mighty ocean yet to the human race it is of vast importance. As the past year is filled with its sunshine and shadows, with its storms and calms, so it is but a type of human life with its hopes and fears, its joys and sorrows. Time with his relentless scythe will never cease his labor of death and sorrow until his field of human harvest is safely garnered. Utterly regardless of the sorrow of parents, the weeping children or the pleading of near and dear friends, he marches onward plucking from the great stream of life his subjects, regardless of age, wealth or station. Youth in its beauty and age in its weakness, manhood in its strength and pride must all answer the imperative summons. Perchance it may be the tender flower just blooming upon natures fair field or perhaps it may be old age with its wrinkled brow, hoary head and tottering steps that has long been waiting for sweet repose in the silent tomb"
Uncle Joseph Carson, the deceased was born Dec. 12 1812 in Rockcastle county, Ky., grew up to manhood in that state and about the year 1838 was married to Margaret Montgomery; moved to Mo. shortly after and settled on a farm in Andrew county.
Seven children were born to them, two of whom died in infancy. His wife also was called away in the year 1853. October 18, 1860 he was united in marriage to Mrs. Sophia Mitchel whose maiden name was Moran. Of this union were born 5 children. His wife preceded him to the better world April 9, 1883.
Mr. Carson remained on one farm in Andrew county for over 40 years, from which he removed to this place in Nov. 1891, where he remained till the time of his death Dec 22, 1893.
The funeral took place from the Christian church in Savannah, Dec 24th. Services being conducted by Rev. Dew, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Savannah cemetery.
He leaves eight children. D.M. Carson of Boise City, Idaho, Joseph Carson and Mrs. Samuel Stewart of Andrew co., Mrs. L. Carter, Mrs. John Bedford, C.B., James and Miss Kate all of this place.
Uncle Joe was a typical pioneer, tender hearted, kind, a loving and indulgent father. He lived an exemplary life, beloved and respected by all who knew him. He was converted at the age of twenty and identified himself with the Christian church, and lived a devoted christian life. He endured his suffering with fortitude and patience of a true christian man and was ready and willing to go. On the evening of the 22nd the curtain of death closed around the scene of his earthly existence and the expiring lamp of life went out without one rude blast to hasten its extinction; so he passed peacefully away at the ripe old age of 81 years to prospect the world beyond which for him tarrows. His labor is done, his record is finished, unto the grave we have resigned him.
