RUSSELL CARROLL -- Russell Carroll of Taylor, Michigan, retired owner and operator of Russ Carroll & Sons Trucking Co., died of congestive heart failure Monday, May 30, 1994, at Heritage Hospital. He was 83.
Born March 19, 1911, in Hohenwald, TN, he was the second oldest of six children of Charles Carroll and the former Ida Myrtle Sharp.
He and the former Mary Lou Lynch were married in 1928 in Tennessee. They moved to Wyandotte, then settled in Taylor in the early 1930s.
Mr. Carroll worked at the old Michigan Steel Co. in Ecorse from 1928 until 1937, when he bought a dump truck and went into the coal-hauling business, according to his son, William of Brownstown Township.
He also headed the paint department at All-Metal Products Co., a toy company in Wyandotte, and he mixed paints for all the toys at night and hauled coal by day, his son said.
Also during the late 1930s, Mr. Carroll owned Carroll's Grocery Store at North Line and Allen in Taylor for 13 years.
The government exempted him from military service during World War II because his coal delivery was considered essential. He delivered coal until the mid-1950s, when he bought a sand pit and topsoil field in Taylor. The company hauled sand and gravel until 1983. Mr. Carroll was a faithful member of Sunset Church of Christ in Taylor, Michigan.
In addition to his wife and son, Mr. Carroll is survived by another son, James of Taylor; a sister, Augusta Williams of Hohenwald, and two brothers, Hubert of Trenton and Felix of Wyandotte; 14 grandchildren, 29 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild.
A funeral service was held June 2 at Martenson Funeral Home, Allen Park. Burial was in Michigan Memorial Park, Huron Township.
