CARROLL, Bertha Esther
Springs Valley Herald (September 25, 1930)
Obituary

Bertha Esther Carroll, daughter of Hickman and Amanda E. Carroll, was born November 27, 1903, near Newton Stewart, Indiana, and departed this life September 14, 1930, at the home of her mother in French Lick, age 26 years, 10 months and 18 days.

Esther, as she was known by all, was of a lovable disposition, having a smile for everyone, making many friends wherever she went.

She was converted in the Methodist Church at Loogootee in 1922 under the preaching of Rev. C. F. Mahler, and united with the church. Two years ago she went to Anderson, Indiana, transferring the membership to the First M. E. Church of that city. In May 1929 in a meeting held at the Second Pilgrim Holiness church by her brother, Rev. J. H. Carroll, she received the experience of Sanctification. She lived a consecrated Christian life to her departure, singing, testifying and praising God on her death bed. Just a few hours before her departure she told her doctor she was save and sanctified.

Death came quietly and peacefully, just stepping from this life of toil and labor to the beautiful reward, promised to them that love God.

She leaves a mother, and step-father, Mr. and Mrs. Jake Painter of French Lick, four brothers, Will Carroll of this city, Rev. John Carroll of Epson, Ind., Herman Carroll of Newman, Ill., Porter Carroll of Elon, and three sisters, Mrs. J. E. Summers of this city, Mrs. F. C. Eckerty of Hume, Ill., Mrs. R. H. Howard of Indian Springs and a host of relatives and friends to mourn their loss.

Funeral services were held at Loogootee by Rev. C. Muller with interment following in the Good-Will Cemetery at that place.
