Nodaway Democrat, Maryville, Mo. 4-13-1876: Robert Carr, an esteemed farmer of Atchison township, and a brother of Charley Carr, has been sadly afflicted within the past six weeks. About three weeks ago three members of his family were taken away with diptheria. His daughter, Olive L. Carr, aged eight years, was first called to the better land; then followed his beloved daughter. L. R. Carr, aged twenty-one years; and lastly, Ellen E. Carr, aged five years. Miss L. R. Carr was a well-known school teacher of this county and was beloved by all who knew her for her amiable disposition and kind heart. Only four weeks before the death of the above named children Mr. Carr was called upon to mourn the loss of a promising son, aged eighteen years. Thus in the very flower of their youth have four idolized children been taken from their parents within a short time. This blow to these fond parents is indeed a hard one, but they are comforted by the assurance that the separation is only for a brief period and that soon there will be a happy re-union with the loved ones on the other side.
