SERVICES ARE HELD FOR J.M. CARDEN
Simple Rites for Aged Clerk Held at Cemetery by Rector
HINTON, May 2, Funeral services for John M. Carden, 88 years old, for 20 years clerk of Summers county, who died at his home here early yesterday morning, were to be held this afternoon at the Greenbrier Cemetery. Rev. George J. Cleveland, rector of the Episcopal church, was to officiate at the simple rites. Pallbearers selected were J. Baker Harris Sr., J. Baker Harris Jr., Frederick Harris, Western Harris, J.M. Meador and W.P. Bowling.
When Mr. Carden first came to Hinton 60 years ago from Greenbrier Springs, he was a bookkeeper for the Cooper Mercantile establishment, and was later made manager of the Miller Brother's grocery, a store which stood where the McCreery hotel now stands. While managing the store Mr. Carden also served as secretary of the board of education, and upon being appointed deputy county clerk in 1902 under J.M. Meador, he relinquished the secretarial position to W.E. Price, who since has been a member of the board.
His resignation was filed with the county court Wednesday.
Mr. Carden was born in the historic log cabin at Greenbrier Springs. At the age of 14 he enlisted with the Southern forces and served as a member of the Luury battery, thirteenth Virginia artillery.
His wife, Matilda Alice Brown, died 35 years ago. Mr. Carden is survived by one daughter, Mrs. J. Baker Harris, of Ashland, Ky., and one brother, Green Carden, of Pence Springs.
Mr. Carden's private life was very quiet. He was a Master Mason of the Greenville lodge and a Democrat.
