The Hartford Republican, Hartford, Kentucky, 27 Oct 1899, Fri • Page 3
Mr. Christopher T. Carson, one of the foremost and leading citizens ofl the No Creek vicinity, met with a sad accident last Saturday, while cutting timber, which proved to be fatal. About 11 o'clock Saturday, while cutting a tree on his farm, a limb from the falling tree struck his forehead and breast, but not seriously hurting him at the time. He was able to walk to his residence without assistance, but on arriving his pains had been intensified so he laid down on a cot to rest. The outward shows of injury were very slight and no thought of serious trouble was anticipated by the family, but the injury was internal and proved fatal in twenty-lour hours from the time he was struck by the limb. Medical aid could effect nothing, and Mr. Carson breathed his last at 11 o'clock Sunday morning. He was a member of a large and respectable family, composed of ten boys, five of whom are dead, and three girls, two of whom yet survive. Besides his brothers and sisters, he leaves a wife and nine children to mourn his departure to the beyond. Funeral services were held at the No Creek church by Rev. Howes, Presiding Elder. The largest crowd that No Creek has witnessed for many years, gathered to pay tribute to the deceased husband, father, friend and neighbor. After the conclusion of the funeral services, the remains were Interred In the Carson graveyard at No Creek. The Republican desires to extend sympathy to the family in this the saddest hour of their existence.
