WILLIAM LAWSON CARR OBITUARY:
William Lawson Carr was born March 25, 1846 near Jefferson, Ohio and departed from this life April 20, 1929, at the advanced age of 83 years, and 26 days.
While yet a child, his parents located near Rochester, Fulton, Indiana. Where he grew into manhood. He was married to Hannah McGuire, also of Rochester, Indiana, July 22, 1871. To this union were born seven children, two of whom died in infancy, and one son. Chas. Reuben Carr, who passed from this life, March 11, 1923, in the state of Washington.
There remains to mourn his loss, four daughters: Mrs. Ira Hutchison of Hillsdale, at whose home he had spent the past three years, Mrs. Pearl Ritter of Barron, Mrs. W.F. Hudson of Marshfield, Oregon, and Mrs. Alex McCurry of Iron Mountain, Michigan, and one brother B.F. Carr of Rochester, Indiana, also 32 grandchildren, several great grandchildren, and numerous other relatives.
In the year 1882 the family move to Hillsdale which was then a forest and where they have continued to reside most of the time. In early life he united with the Christian church at Rochester, Indiana, later uniting with the Maple grove Baptist church and continued in the faith until the time of his death.
Though the past few weeks of his life were filled with intense suffering, it only increased his faith in God, calling Him to help endure his pain and asking Him to him home, and at the last he passed peacefully away.
Funeral services were held Tuesday at the Maple Grove Baptist church, the Rev. John N. Good of Rice Lake, officiating.

Inscription
There is not a stone marking William's, his children nor his wife's graves. I do not believe there ever was originally. They came to Barron County between 1882-1884 when Prairie Farm was no more than a Forest. They are buried in the Carr Lot (next to the Wycoff Lot. His Brother has a marker (Clayton) and his sister had a marker (Martha Jane Wycoff)
