Charles, 62, of Perry, MI. a well-known resident of this locality for the past 30 years was found dead, frozen stiff from exposure, after having laid for nearly 3 days in a snow bank about 100 rods to the rear of his farm house, 1 mile north of Perry.
Mr. Carr's body was found Friday afternoon at 4 by Ben Taylor, a neighboring farmer.
Mr. Carr lived alone and had not been seen around the house for 2 or 3 days before the finding of his body. Neighbors began to investigate. Ben Taylor, upon examination of the mailbox found that his mail had not been taken out since Tuesday. The horse in the barn and chickens in another building were found badly in need of food. No sign of Mr. Carr could be found in the house, after searching it thoroughly.
Upon this information, Mr. Taylor knew that something must surely be wrong and began a thorough search over the small farm, which consists of 10 acres. Taylor, with the aid of his shepherd dog, found the body of Mr. Carr in a small snow bank. They body lay in such a position to designate that death must have been instantaneous and heart trouble was attributed as the cause of death. No inquest was held.
Week before last Mr. Carr had been doing some work for Ben and left there Saturday to cut some wood for Jap Hubbard. On Monday Mr. Carr was seen for the last time alive and it is thought he fell over dead while returning home Monday evening or Tuesday morning.
When found, Mr. Carr's body seem to have been under considerable weight, as over one shoulder he had a cross cut saw and another small saw, also in his hand he carried an ax. In his righthand was a file, which proved conclusively that death came very sudden, and that he did not live at all after his fall to the ground. The body was carried to the house and undertaker Hutchings of Perry was called to care for the remains.
The funeral was held from the house on Monday. Rev. Powley of the Perry Congregational Church taking charge.
Mr. Carr's wife died about 1 year ago. Stanley Carr, a barber in Lansing, was an only child.
In the sudden death of Mr. Carr, Perry is again called to mourn one of its oldest and most respected citizens. He was well and favorably known by all residents of this locality who extend their sympathy to the son.
