WHIT CARMICHAEL
Daniel Whitfield Carmichael, a resident of Oakdale since 1873, died Monday evening at his home in this city, after but a few weeks' illness, due to heart trouble. Mrs. Carmichael died last July, and since that time the husband has been gradually failing.
The deceased was born in Green county, Tennessee, in April 1842, the family moving when he was a child to Jackson county, Missouri.
Mr. Carmichael enlisted in the Confederate army at the age of nineteen and served for several years, when he was mustered out because of illness. For many years the deceased was engaged in freighting from his Missouri home to the west and he thus acquired the California fever. In the late 1860's Mr. Carmichael was married to Miss Margaret Harrill, at his Missouri home.
They emigrated to California in 1873, settling near Oakdale. For many years the deceased engaged in wheat raising on an entensive scale, owning a number of big ranches near Oakdale. He also for a time operated a number of big harvesters. Mr. Carmichael was the youngest of a family of twelve, and is the last die, his death marking the end of the line, as no children survive him.
Mr. Carmichael was a man with profound convictions of truth and honesty, and the counted every man his friend. His death leaves another void in the constantly thinning ranks of the pioneers of Oakdale.
The funeral was held yesterday afternoon from the family home and there was a large outpouring of the people of Oakdale to pay homage to the memory of the deceased. Rev. R. M. Hood, pastor of the Presbyterian church, with which the deceased had united but a short time ago, was in charge of the service. Summit Masonic Lodge of Knights Ferry, of which the deceased becxame a member many years ago, was in charge of the service at the grave.
(From Oakdale Leader, 11 March 1915)
W. CARMICHAEL PASSES AWAY
Monday evening at about 6 o'clock Mr. Whitt Carmichael passed away after a brief illness, at the age of 74 years. The deceased had been failing rapidly for some time; but not until the last few weeks had he commenced to decline with marked rapidity. For about a month he has been confined to the house. On the 17th day of last July his wife, Margaret Carmichael passed away, aged 77 years, her aged husband surviving her but eight months.
The deceased was born near St. Louis, Missouri, in 1841, and resided there until he was four years old, when he moved to Tennessee with his parents, living there until he was 19 years old, when he joined the Confederate army, serving in the same for two and a half years, being sent home sick at that time. After the close of the war he returned to Independence, Missouri, from which point he did teaming into the new states west. His work took him among the Indians much, and one of his favorite expressions was, "the Indians ain't half as bad as lots of white folks."
In 1871 the deceased was united in marriage to Margaret Harrill in Jackson County, Missouri.
In 1872 Mr. & Mrs. Carmichael came to California settling on a ranch about two miles east of Oakdale and lived continuously in this neighborhood since settling here. Four years ago they sold their grain ranch that they had operated for so many years, and moved into their comfortable, new home in Oakdale.
Mr. Carmichael has been a member of the Masonic Lodge of Knights Ferry for a number of years. About a month ago he united with the Presbyterian church of this city.
The funeral service will be held from the late residence at 3 o'clock, Rev. Robert Hood officiating. Internment will be made in the Oakdale Citizens Cemetery.
The deceased has been a strong socialist for some years, and enjoyed saying that if we took the Golden Rule and the Ten Commandments, that would be law enough for the entire country.
