Wife of Silas Carroll. Daughter of Dublin Morris.


Obituary Gonzales Inquirer Jan. 22, 1931


Aunt Lou Carrol Venerable Old Colored Aunty Passed Away


A venerable colored "aunty" that belonged to the regime of ante-bellub days passed on Friday in the death of Aunt Lou Carroll, well known member of the colored population, who died at her home in the northern part of the city.

Aunt Lou was over 100 years old, but had retained her faculties in an amazing degree, it is said. White friends who in their childhood recall her well vouch for the statement that she was all of that age, as she formerly served in their families as nurse, being fifty or more years then.

She was the mother of Tobe Carroll, who conducts a shoe repair shop here.

Aunt Lou belonged to an old time family, by the name of Carroll, who lived in the Peach Creek section during slavery days. Her fun…. Can't not find the rest of her obituary.
