Mr. James Carroll, of Dallas, Passes Away In His 83d Year.
Dallas, W.Va., March 3, 1891.
To the Editor of the Register:
Sir – On February 28, at 1 o’clock p.m., Mr. James Carroll passed away peacefully at his home, one mile south of this place, after a short illness, aggravated by old age. Deceased was born in Washington County, Pa., November 15, 1808. He was one of a family of ten children, eight sons and two daughters, of which the only surviving member is Mr. Joseph Carroll, of Simpson’s Store, Greene County, Pa.
Mr. Carroll’s grandfather, when only four years old, fled with his mother to a block house which stood where Prosperity, Pa., now stands, and which was a distance of five miles from where they lived. The Indians at this time killed his grandfather’s brothers, John and Hamilton, who lived with them, leaving only the grandfather from which the Carroll race sprang.
Deceased was married to Lucy Rickey, who died May 28th, 1866, and from this happy union one son and five daughters blessed their home. Two daughters are dead, and the son and three daughters, together with many grandchildren, great-grandchildren and friends are left to mourn his death.
Mr. Carroll moved to the place on which he died fifty-three years ago. It was then all in woods, but by hard labor he cleared the ground, erected the buildings and fashioned the surroundings, which makes it the beautiful place it is to-day, and so much admired. He was a millwright by trade, and some of his work done over fifty years ago is standing to-day. In politics he was a Democrat, and loved the principles of that party.
He was a member of the Presbyterian Church for over 40 years, and it was a very rare thing to find him absent from any of the meetings of his church. He was kind to all and loved his friends, and no one ever left his home hungry. He was liberal in his gifts to good causes, and gave largely to the support of the Gospel. A truly noble citizen, a kind and loving father and good Christian man has gone and his presence and helpful hand will be very much missed in this community.
