Archabel CARMICHAEL was born in North Carolina, April 17, 1819; died May 21, 1904; aged 86 years, 1 month and 4 days. Deceased came to Indiana when quite young with his parents and settled in the eastern part of Center Township. At the age of twenty-one he was converted and joined the Baptist Church, to which he closely lived until the time of his death—sixty-four years a true and faithful member, ever ready to talk on the subject of religion. He was the son of Alexander CARMICHAEL, was married to Elizabeth SPARKS in 1840, and to this union thirteen children were born. Their names are as follows: John C. CARMICHAEL, Alexander, William H., Matilda J., Martha Ann, Joseph H., Mary, Wesley, Sylvester, Archabel, Mart, Washington and Ensley. There are fifty grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren. Elizabeth Carmichael departed this life November 25, 1877, and in March 1878, he was again married to Mary CARROL. She died in April 1894. Since that time he has made his home with his children, and for the last year he has been staying with his son, Sylvester. On May 17 he was stricken with paralysis, after which he never regained consciousness. The funeral services were conducted at the house by Rev. John BREEDEN and at the Carmichael Cemetery by Rev. ELLIS and Peter OLIPHANT. By this death the church loses a faithful member, while he was able to attend; the community a good citizen and the children that survive him, of which there are seven, a kind and loving father. During his sickness the neighbors and friends lent a helping hand. The children have the sympathy of the entire community in this sad hour of bereavement. Thus ends the life of another of Greene County's pioneers.
