John Benjamin Carle
On Tuesday afternoon, December 8, at 2 o'clock in the Seventh Day Adventist Church, neighbors and friends paid their final respects to John Benjamin Carle, who passed away on Friday, December 4 after a short illness at his home on Grandview Flats.
Born in Knoxville, Iowa, on May 10 1860, Mr Carle in early life learned the trade of capentering. It was on September 10, 1882, the the town of his birth that he married Miss Nancy Overton, who survives him.
Coming to Canada in 1910 he took up a homestead in Alberta and eleven years later came to this district.
In 1927, in Seattle, Mr Carle had the misfortune to fall 28 feet from a ship he was working on. At first walking again seemed to be the impossible but through perserverance and determination he became able to do the unexpected. From that time to carry on his work on a large scale was beyond him but he never stopped doing what he could, one of his last ventures was his own coffin, in which, at his request, he was laid at rest.
Having passed his eighty-second birthday and he with Mrs Carle had celebrated their diamond wedding he still enjoyed good health and it was a great shock when he passed away at noon on Friday after a very short few hours illness.
Surviving, besides his loving wife, are three daughters, Mrs A R Walker, Bothel, Wash., Mrs M Givens, Pollockville, Alta., and Mrs I Toombs of this city; two sons, E D Carle, Iron Mountain, Michigan, and Earle W Carle, Seattle; thirty grandchildren and twenty great grandchildren.
Funeral services were conducted by Evangelist W G Hurden and interment was in the Grandview Flats Cemetery.
The pallbearers were Messrs E E Gill, H Halliday, L D Sutherland, B Johnstone, G Frolke and W Graham.
