Funeral Services For Joseph J. Carmichael
They were held at Amity Friday Afternoon, and Burial was in the Amity Cemetery.
The Herald last week gave an account of the sudden death of Joseph J. Carmichael some five miles west of Maysville and two miles northwest of Amity. Since we went to press last week little or nothing new has been learned as to the time that he passed away. He lived alone and there are indications that he died on Tuesday night instead of on Wednesday night as it was first thought. Funeral services were held Friday afternoon at the Amity M. E. Church of which the deceased was a member. The services were conducted by William Pittaker, the resident minister of the Amity Church, and burial was in the Amity cemetery. The following sketch of Mr. Carmichaels life was read at the service:
Joseph Johnson Carmichael was born in Monroe County, Tennessee, November 24, 1849, and died at his home near Amity, Missouri, December 11, 1928, aged 79 years and 17 days.
In 1869 he together with his parents came to Missouri, setteling in DeKalb County, where he spent the remainder of his life engaged in farming. In the early seventies he gave his heart to god under the labors of Rev. Lockhart and united with the Christian Church at Maysville. A few years later he joined the Methodist Episcopal Church at Amity of which he remained a consistant member to the end of his life.
He leaves to mourn his departure, two brothers, Dr. D. L. Carmichael of Arcadia, California, and J. H. Carmichael of Augusta, Montana; 2 sisters, Mrs. D. M. Paddock of Seattle, Washington, and Mrs. Anna Metzger of Lane, Kansas; also a sister-in-law, Mrs. Leona Carmichael of St. Joseph, Missouri; a number of nephews and nieces, and a host of friends.
Brother Carmichael was a devout Christian who loved mercy, dealt justly, and walked humbly with the Lord. On Sunday last he was in his place at Sunday School and preaching service. As neighbors discovered his lifeless form they also found the open Bible nearby. Perhaps he was unaware as he retired for the night that his awakening would be in Heaven.
Yes, Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep; From which no-one ever wake to weep.

Joe Carmichael of the Amity community has quietly slipped out of this life into the presence of his Maker. Some way or other it seems in keeping with his life that he should pass out quietly. He lived that way. He didn't make much fuss. He did not try to get much in the public eye. He was a good neighbor, a good man, a good citizen, but he had a way of hiding Joe away from the public gaze. I liked him. He had been my friend for nearly forty years. If he ever tried to skin anybody in a trade I never knew of it. If everybody in this world were as honest as Joe Carmichael there would be less use for jails and bonds and promissory notes.
