Pioneer Minister of Waco is Dead
Dr. B. H. Carroll, for 29 years pastor of the First Baptist church of Waco, died this morning at 1 o'clock at his residence in Fort Worth.
He became pastor of the First Baptist Church here in 1871, resigning in 1900 to take the chair of Bible instruction at Baylor University, which position he held until the organization of the Baptist Theological Seminary at Ft Worth, of which he was made president.
Dr. Carroll was born near Carrollton, Miss., December 27, 1843. He was married in June, 1866, to Miss Ellen Bell in Burleson county. Miss Bell had come to Texas from Starkville, Miss. Three children survive them. They are Dr. B. H. Carroll, Jr., United States consul at Venice; Rev. C. C. Carroll, pastor of the First Baptist church at Owensboro, Ky.; Mrs. E. O. T. Piers, wife of a missionary in Sao Paulo, Brazil; and Mrs. J. D. Josey of Wallis, Texas.
In 1900 Dr. Carroll was married a second time to Miss Hallie Harrison of Waco, who was at the time instructor of music at Baylor University. She is a daughter of the late General Thomas Harrison and a sister of James A. Harrison of Beaumont, Thomas A. Harrison and Captain W. K. Harrison, of the United States navy. Mrs. Carroll survives her husband, as also does their son, Harrison Kerfoot Carroll, aged 13.
The funeral will be held in Waco tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock, from the First Baptist Church, burial at Oakwood. The pall bearers will be selected from among the thirty-six deacons of the First Baptist Church. Three of them will be Dr. J. T. Harrington, M. H. Standifer, and S. B. Humphreys.
