George P. Carson died at his home in Tuthill Avenue early Sunday morning, after a very painful illness covering nearly three years, it being nearly a year since he was able to leave his home. During a large part of the same period his wife who died in February last, was also ill. Mr. Carson's funeral services were at the home Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. Dr. Coons, pastor of the Methodist Church, of which deceased had for some years been a member. Internment was in Fantinekill Cemetery where comrades of Ward Post laid him to rest with a soldier's honors.
Mr. Carson's parents were Daniel and Jane Carson. He was born in Oct. 1840, and his boyhood was spent in Olive, where in his early teens he was by the death of his father left head of the family, and knew well the meaning of toil and privation. In 1862 he enlisted in the 120th N.Y.V., in which "fighting regiment" he was a fighting soldier. In the bloody work before Petersburg a rebel shell took his left arm at the shoulder. But thus handicapped he was energetic and industrious as long as he was able to be about. He was devoted to his family and never failed to provide for his mother while she lived. Mr. Carson came to Napanoch about 32 years ago, where he married Elizabeth Dobbins and soon after moved to Ellenville. Of their children four are deceased. The survivors are Ben. B. Carson, of Middletown, and Miss Emma at home, who was most devoted and faithful in the care of her parents through their illness. Mr. Carson leaves two brothers, Alonzo and Rose, both of Walden, and one sister, Mrs. Hattie Legg, who has been with her brother for some years.
