CARNAHAN, Harry Pyeatt - Harry P. Carnahan was born on his father's farm just east of Bentonville on October 6th, 1882 and grew up on the farm and in town. He got his education in the public schools of this community and also his first experience in business of life. His first position, after leaving the farm, was that of express messenger on the Frisco between Monett, Mo. and Paris, Texas. Later he gave up this work to become express agent in Bentonville which position he held until his removal to Joplin, Mo., where he entered the employment of the Hopkins Cooperage Company as bookkeeper and remained with this company for a number of years until its final retirement from business. He then accepted the position of accountant with the Indiana Truck Company of Joplin which position he was filling faithfully and acceptably at the time of his death. He was married to Miss Ora Engstrom by his father at his father's home here in Bentonville on October 10th, 1923, taking his bride with him to Joplin where they have made their home ever since. He was raised in the faith of the Presbyterian Church and untied with the First Presbyterian Church of Bentonville during the pastorate of Dr. H.W. Steen whom he greatly admired and esteemed. He transferred his membership to the First Presbyterian Church of Joplin upon his removal to that city and served faithfully and consistently, both in private and official position, in that church until the day of his death. He was ordained a deacon in that church and then ruling elder and served for a number of years as clerk of session until hi s business interests required his resignation. He came with his wife to Bentonville on Thursday evening before the 4th of July for a brief week-end vacation and spent the Fourth on the river with his family. He complained in the afternoon of not feeling well but came home and went to bed and to sleep. He was taken sick in the night and was ministered to by his family and medical aid hastily summoned but was gone before the doctor could reach him. The end came about three o'clock Saturday morning, July 5th, 1930. The funeral was held in the Presbyterian Church of Bentonville Sunday afternoon, July 6th at 2 o'clock and was conducted by his pastor, Dr. W.M. Gardner of the First Presbyterian Church of Joplin, assisted by Revs. W.C. Wheat and A.W. Henderson. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Ora Carnahan; one sister, Mrs. Stella Lewis, Portland, Oregon; and four brothers, Edgar, John, Earle and Wilford. He also leaves behind him a multitude of friends, both in Joplin and Bentonville who mourn his loss and greatly regret his untimely going. Mr. Carnahan came of sturdy pioneer stock and bore one of the most honorable names in this section of the state - a name that is associated with splendid Christian service for three generations. His father and grandfather were pioneer ministers in the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and helped to lay the foundations of both church and state in this Ozark region and the son carried on in the fine spirit of his fathers. He bore an honorable name and he bore it honorably, serving his generation in his own day and in is own way as faithfully as they served theirs. Times changed with the passing generations but the spirit of the men remained the same. [Benton County Herald - Bentonville, Benton County, Arkansas - July 10, 1930]
