This was my great-grandfather, who died in 1917 in Providence, Rhode Island:
"JOHN J. CARR, FORMERLY OF BOSTON, IS DEAD
Providence, Sept. 29 -- John J. Carr, head of the bakery jobbing firm of
John J. Carr & Son of this city, well known in Boston as a traveler for a
State-st firm for 17 years, died at his home, 21 Daboll st., yesterday.
He had been in ill health for several years, undergoing two major operation
in this city and having consulted several specialists of Boston and
Providence. His case has puzzled medical men. On his return from Florida
last Spring his condition grew suddenly worse and he failed rapidly.
