Carl has filled many positions of trust. Among them was Secretary and Treasurer of the J. G. Grant Chemical Co. of East St. Louis, head bookkeeper of the Illinois Slack Barrel Co. of Hardin, Deputy County Clerk of Calhoun County, and other positions. He was an affable and genial person to do business with and made friends of all his acquaintances.
He leaves to mourn his departure his wife; three sons and one daughter; an aged mother; one sister, Mrs. Fred Lamar; one brother, Lamont Beaty; all of Hardin, and a gray haired grandmother, Grandma Nicholas of Belleview, this county, besides a number of relatives and a host of friends.
He was a member of Hardin Camp No. 1621, M.W.A. of Hardin, Ill. He was also a member of the Hardin Band for the past twenty-five years.
His remains were laid to rest in Hardin's Silent City of the Dead Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock after funeral services at the Presbyterian Church conducted by Rev. E. P. Gilchrist. The large crowd of sorrowing friends, present to pay a last tribute of respect to the departed, shows the high esteem in which he was held. The floral offering from friends covered the entire casket.
