Husband of Sarah (Cosler) Carson
Son of John & Susanna Carson
(Obituary courtesy of Phyllis Tuning)
William Tateman Carson was born near Dayton, Ohio, August 29, 1817. He departed from this life at his home, eight miles southwest of Bloomfield, January 25, 1903, aged 85 years, 4 months, 25 days. When 11 years of age he removed with his parents from Ohio to Indiana, where he grew to manhood. At the age of 18 he became a member of the Presbyterian church, and at 21 was united in marriage to Sarah Costello [Cosler this is a newspaper error.]. To this union ten children were born, six of whom, together with the aged mother, survive him, the other four being dead. In 1851 Mr. Carson removed to Davis county, settling upon the farm he occupied at the date of his death, and which he preempted from the government. The funeral sermon was preached at the residence by Rev. Shane, of West Grove, the Masonic fraternity, of which Mr. Carson had been a member since 1849, taking charge of the ceremonies at the cemetery. The interment took place at Mt. Moriah, a large concourse of people accompanying the remains to their last resting place. The children present at the funeral were R.B. Carson, Moulton; Rev. John Carson, Mystic; Mrs. Jacob Augst and Mrs. W. L. Baldridge, Bloomfield; Mary Carson, who lives at home. One son, Jas. G.,[Should have said Joe] resides in Oregon, and was not Present. The members of the Masonic fraternity from Bloomfield, who attended the funeral, were as follows; Col. S A Mrore{should be Moore}, W J Law, A V Smith, John Elliott, T P Bence, T J Bryant, G P Fryberger, T A Dunlap, N S Kinman, J P Toombs, C R Wilson, W W Rawlings, J W Toombs, Dr. J W Young, H C Moore, J W Dodge, Frank Carey, T D Doke. Davis County Republican, January 22 1903. The following is headlined as RESOLUTIONS. Whereas William T. Carson, a worthy member of Franklin Lodge No. 14 A. F. & A. M. for more than fifty years, died at his home in West Grove Township, Davis County, Iowa, on the 24th day of January 1903 at the age of eighty-five years, four months and twenty-five days. Our older members meeting with him from time to time at the same Masonic Altar for more than a half century, and the younger members sharing alike his friendship, and the touch of his hand at parting slow to unclasp, and desiring to extend our sympathy with his bereaved family and to place on our records some appropriate testimonial of our appreciation of our departed brother. Wherefore, Resolved that as a member of Franklin Lodge No. 14 A. F. & A. M. we feel that we have lost a worthy and faithful brother whose daily walk and conversation before his fellow men marked him as a citizen who was zealous and public spirited in every enterprise having for its object the good of the home, the State and the Nation: As a Mason he was true and faithful to the vows and obligations that linked his name, and every emotion of his warm generous heart with his brethren. As a Christian gentleman his heart was tender, loving and sympathetic. He was a firm believer in the lessons of love and humanity thought by the great Master, and in every relation of his long and eventful life, sorrow and suffering never preferred its suit to him in vain. As a husband and father he marked the highest type of manhood, and held with firmness to his heart the strong enduring love of his wife and children. After a life of usefulness, of more that four score years a half century of which he spent on the farm selected as a pioneer for his family home, at peace with his Maker and all the world, the fruit of his life's work before him with the spirit of contentment and blessing, he gathered his sheaves of ripened grain and as he bore them to the eternal garner [gardner] let us fondly hope that he was greeted with the welcome _________ of the harvest song.
