Everel Manton "E.M." Carlock
Funeral services for Mr. Everel Manton "E.M." Carlock, 93, were conducted at 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 17, 2002, from the chapel of Hickman-Strunk Funeral Home in Kentucky with Bro. Jim Savage and Bro. Larry Nichols officiating.

Mr. Carlock died Wednesday, Aug. 14. He was a 1934 graduate of University of Tennessee. While at the University of Tennessee, he spent two years in the Tennessee National Guard Medical Department and four years in the ROTC. Upon graduation, he was commissioned as Second Lieutenant and was assigned by the President for the Infantry Reserve. He moved to McCreary County, KY, in the summer of 1934.

As a school teacher, his first assignment was at Whitley City High School, where he implemented the first agriculture studies program and also organized the first chapter of the Future Farmers of America. He and his wife, Hazel Morris, were married December 19, 1936. When World War II broke out, he was called to active duty and went to Chicago with his wife. He was assigned to the Quarter Master Corps and was soon promoted to the rank of First Lieutenant, ultimately achieving the rank of captain. His assignment included research and development of new rations for Army use, such as dehydrated foods and emergency rations, including new ways to process chicken. Methods he developed have reportedly become food industry standards. Returning to McCreary County in 1946, the Carlocks resumed their teaching positions. He used his vast knowledge to implement jobs and economic development in McCreary County.

The Carlocks remained active in the Whitley City United Methodist Church and civic organizations such as the McCreary County Retired Teachers Association and McCreary Soil Conservation District. He was a member of the Honorable Order of Kentucky Colonels and director of the Kentucky Farm Bureau. His hobbies included gardening and fishing.

Born June 19, 1909, in Oakley, he was the son of the late Porter and Louisa (Bell) Deck Carlock. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife and two sisters, Verda Ledbetter and Helen Barker.

Survivors include a daughter and son-in-law, Kay and Jerry Hamlin; a brother and sister-in-law, John and Trelba Lee; a brother-in-law, Clarence; two grandsons and their wives, Lorren and Katie Bryant and Lee and Sue Bryant; three great grandchildren, Ryan, Tanner, and Tyler; several nieces and nephews; and a host of friends.

Pallbearers were Larry Davis, Perry Warren Davis, Randy Shelton, Coy King, Scottie Morris, Larry Morrow, Pat Souleyrette, Tandy Withers, Wayne Morris, Tommy King, Elmer Olsen, Espie Bell, Ernest Rhoder, Gerald Wilson, Ralph Nevels, and members of the Board of Directors of the McCreary County Conservation District.

Serving as honorary pallbearers were members of the McCreary County Retired Teachers Association.
