Son of Richard Carver and Mary (LNU). He enlisted in the 31st Missouri Militia Infantry, served in C company. It was originated in Carondelet and Ironton. Mo. He enlisted at Ironton sometime between Aug 11-Oct 7, 1862. He was one of 207 men furnished by the County of Washington. Company C consisted of 90 men and officers and was commanded by Captain William H. Judd. They were from St, Francois Co., Washington Co., Potosi, Belleview, St. Louis, Carter Co., Butler Co., all in Missouri and Randolph Co., Ar., with a large amount of men coming from the town of Hopewell in Washington, Co. More men died in this regiment from disease than any other forms of casualties such as wounded, killed, missing which is also true for almost all the units in the Union Army with few exceptions. The 31st mustered out June, 1865. Taken fron the book, Rain, Mud and Swamps by Gary L Scheel, which covers the Civil War story of the 31st Missouri Militia

The plot at the Masonic Cemetery was purchased by his wife, Winnie, for $16.00. She bought 1/2 lot which is number 22 from the Goode family. I do not know the relationship between the Carver and Goode families nor why he was buried at that cemetery. There are other Carvers buried there.

Inscription

Asleep in Jesus far from thee
Thy kindred and their graves may be
But thine is still a blessed sleep
From which none ever wake to weep
