John, I agree with family of Alvin Rufus Carawan. According to the book,
The Masons of Eastern NC by William "Bill" Mason, 1982, p. 46, Clearon
Overton Carawan and wife, Dorothy Gay Mason had 4 sons:
Cleron Overton Carawan, Jr January 14, 1958-January 23, 1958
Benjamin Alvin Carawan --listed in Percy's obit
Cleron Michael Carawan August 6, 1960-August 25, 1960
William Myers Carawan October 27, 1961-November 11, 1961.
These children births are also found on p. 28 & 29 in book Carra/owan
Cara/owan Deaths,(1913-1990) Marriages(1851-1993), Births(thru 1994) as
recorded in Beaufort County Register of Deeds by Josephine Ross.
The above children's deaths are also found on the Hyde Co. Death Index
on the Hyde Web page.
For the wife of Guyon Potter Carawan I have Irene Fauber. Page B2 ,
September 7, 1997,
Roanoke (VA) Times there is an obit for Daniel Franklin Earl Fauber
which lists his survivors, among others, sister and brother-in-law
Irene F. and Guy Carawan of Buena Vista. Could the name be Ruby Irene?
