(Page 94 – Undated but died May 18, 1900):
Little Carleton Rowland Farr, the four year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. C. Farr, was bitten by a mad dog about eight weeks ago. Last Thursday symptoms of hydrophobia developed and death ended his sufferings last Monday. He was buried at Rock Spring Church on Tuesday, Dr. Bledsoe conducting the funeral. The Sun joins a host of friends in expressions of sympathy for the bereaved family in sad loss of their only child.

In Memoriam.
Carleton Rowland Farr was born Oct. 15, 1896 and died May 28, 1900. The subject of this short sketch was the only child of C. C. and M. B. Farr. But Carleton was too dear for this world – God needed him in Paradise to make it brighter for the future coming of the bereaved ones left on earth, and it is my hope that none will be missed in the great day when he will know us. It wrings my heart to think that the grave has robbed us of our dear little Carleton but to God's will we must be submissive; He never errs but does all things for the best.
Carleton was only my nephew, but he always seemed nearer, more like a dear little brother, having spent nearly all of his brief life with us except the last five months. Thus we learned to love him, too well. All who knew Carlton loved him.
It is hard to think that we will never hear his sweet voice again. For a child his mind was deep and his questions often puzzled ones older than himself. I could not half express how much I loved him even were I to write pages.
Bereaved parents, grandmother and loved ones, let us look to a higher power to help us to meet sweet Carleton; we know he is free from pain and at rest. God will take care of him; he knows him best. Let us think of the consolation that was read to us. "God in our refuge, in strength, a very present help in trouble" it ought only to make us strive harder to reach the haven where our darling is.
In his few short days I never heard him utter an ugly word or speak disrespectfully to older ones.
Young as he was he never liked to miss going to preaching, and gave strict attention to all that was said, and loved the singing; often has he tried to accompany me with his little voice while I played for him.
His funeral was conducted by Dr. Bledsoe and he was laid in the silent tomb at Rock Spring.
