Otis M. Carroll, son of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Carroll, who recently moved to South Alabama, was called to his eternal home Janurary 8th, 1919. Leaving to mourn his sad death his father, mother, five brothers, and a-bundance of friends. He was in Camp 3 A. Oregon when he died and his body was sent back to his old home at Cleveland's Cross Roads to be interred at New Prospect Church. The body was carried from the house to the church by soldiers, friends for funeral service which was conducted by Elder H.H. Goodman.
Otis was 23 years old. In August 1915, he joined the Primitive Paptist Church and was baptized. He remained a faithful and loyal member, believing in salvation by grace until his heavenly Father called him to his sweet home where there is no more heart aches and "where there's no more stormy clouds to rise."
Early in the spring last year he left school at Jacksonville Alabama where he was very much delighted to be and volunteeres to go into the service of the country. He went to Camp 3 A. Toledo, Oregon, and there remained a loyal soldier until death.
It should be a great consolation to his dear father and mother to know that he was in true service of our great country and that he gave not only his service but gave his "all for the preservation of the great republic which our forefathers at the terrible suffering of humanity gallantly fought for and to prevent which was revailing.
It is very sad to submit to the death of a noble son but his people should remember that they are not friends who know how, and do, sympathize with them.
Otis had a very sweet disposition and gained friends wherever he went. That he remained a true Christian till death is made manifest to his relatives and friends by a letter writen to his father by his captain which reads as follows:
Camp Hospital, South Bend, Oregan
January 8th 1919.
Mr. James H. Carroll,
Goodwater, Alabama
My dear Sir:
I am very sorry to be called upon to write to you and until yesterday we had thought that your son was winning the fight against this sickness and would live. He came to us very sick with pneumonia but in good condition and we telegraphed to you that day and did not hear from you as we hoped to do because we want replies to our messages so that we can keep the parents posted where there is serious sickness. The son had pneumonia and grew worse and yesterday had a complication which is known as Septic Parolitis and is fatal.
He did not suffer even when his complication had come and I wont you to know that we gave him good care and had a nurse with him all the time and this nurse worked with him only for the past few days. He was such a fine soldier and all his soldier and all his soldier friends knew him as a clean man in every way and many of them spoke to me of the clean and manly way he had been in the army.
We regret more than you know the loss of every soldier and when find a real clean good man we feel doubly the loss. If at any time you or any of his friends want any further information regarding his last illness I will be very, very glad to answer any letter.
Sincerely,
HERMAN S. JUDD,
Captain Medical Corpe U.S.Army.
