Boone County Democrat
December 25, 1908
Carl Carlson, for many years a prominent and leading business man of Boone, passed away at his home, 420 Monona Street, at 9:00 o'clock Saturday evening, Dec. 19th., after a few weeks illness with cancer of the stomach. He was taken ill about a year ago, but recovered, again in the spring he had a severe siege of illness, but again rallied and during the summer seemed to have recovered his health to a considerable degree, but about five weeks ago was taken ill again and sank rapidly until the end came.
The funeral services were held from the home at 2:00 o'clock and from the Swedish Evangelical Mission church, at 2:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, the Rev. Hedstrom officiating, speaking in both Swedish and English. A large concourse of sorrowing friends attended the funeral and followed the remains to their last resting place in the family lot in Linwood cemetery.
Deceased was a native of Sweden, there on March 27, 1867 he was united in marriage with Miss Mary Anderson and the following year they came to America. They resided for a time in Boston, then in Canada, then removed to Andover, Ill. And in the fall of 1868 came to Boone. He engaged in farming, but he soon gave up that vocation and entered the employ of Ingersoll & Reed in the milling business. Later he took charge of the mill and conducted it until it was destroyed by fire. The mill was again rebuilt and he organized the Reed Milling Company, which he managed for a number of years. In 1891 in company with his oldest son, Charles, he purchased the property on Tenth Street just north of the Northwestern depot and erected a fine mill. Two years later he disposed of his interest in the mill to T.P. Rogers. This firm, the Carlson Rogers Milling Company, continued until the death of Charles Carlson. Mr. Carlson then again entered the business in company with Mr. Rogers and John S. Doud. Soon Eli H. Doud purchased the interest of John S. Doud and soon after he and Mr. Rogers purchased the interest of Mr. Carlson and he definitely retired from active business life. He was always an active worker in the interest of the church and was a valued citizen, ever working for the upbuilding of the city, and his death will be mourned by our citizens generally.
He is survived by a widow whom he married November 20, 1907, his first wife having died some time before, and three children, Mrs. John S. Doud and Miss Eda Carlson of Denver, Colorado, and Mr. Joel E. Carlson of Boone.
