I recently found this obituary. Can anyone add more to/about this
family? I know he was a descendent of the John Carr family of WV.
Gospel Herald was a Mennonite publication that was apparently mailed out
to the congregations.
Gospel Herald Nov 3, 1927 Obituary
Carr- Solomon E Carr was born near Whitmer, WV on Sep 1, 1879, and died
in Harrisonburg, VA, on Sep 22 1927 age 48 years 21 days. He was a
faithful member of the Mennonite church for a number of years. He was
married to Peachie Montony in 1904 and was the loving father of 7
children (Blake, Madeline, Evelyn, Raymond, Elbern, Roy and Paul). 14
years ago both of Brother Carr's limbs were cut off below the knees while
he was working on a log train. During all these years he labored
faithfully to support his wife and family. Sister Carr, the 7 children,
mother, 5 sisters, 2 brothers, many relatives and friends deeply feel the
loss of this kind and considerate brother, whose soul we belive has gone
to Jesus. The funeral services were conducted in the home of his invalid
mother near Whitmer by Hiram Wenner, assisted by Leon Jones. Text - Ps.
132:14.
