Hiram CARITHERS, aged 92, one of the pioneer residents of Fulton county and one of its wealthiest citizens, passed away at 9 o'clock Thursday night at his home situated two miles east of this city on the Barrett road and on the north bank of Lake Manitou after a three year illness caused by complications incident to old age. The deceased however had only been bedfast for a week.
Mr. Carithers was born on a farm in the southern part of Cass county on February 3, 1836, and was one of four children born to Joshua and Nancy CARITHERS. When quite young his parents moved to Carroll county. Sixty years ago Mr. Carithers came to this county with his brother, John [CARITHERS], and purchased a farm near Green Oak. They later sold this place and bought what is now known as the Kentucky Stock Farm north of this city. Twenty-four years ago Mr. Carithers sold the stock farm and purchased the farm home on the north bank of the lake where he died.
Mr. Carithers was of a very frugal nature and early in life built the foundation for a large fortune. It was Mr. Carithers' motto "It was not what you earned but what you saved which counted." Mr. Carithers' worldly possessions which consisted of farms, stocks and bonds accumulated until at his death he was one of the county's most wealthy citizens.
Despite his frugality Mr. Carithers was a good neighbor willing to extend a helping hand to those whom he deemed worthy. Many persons in this county have been helped by Mr. Carithers to get their start as industrious honest citizens as he was. He never affiliated with any church believing in the Golden Rule.
Mrs. Carithers, who was Melissa J. COLLINS, died seven years ago. Survivors are five children, Mrs. Walter BROOKER of Bruce Lake, Mrs. Fred MOORE and Franklin E. [CARITHERS] of this city, Albert [CARITHERS] of Argos and Louise [CARITHERS] at home. He was the last of his family.
