Ashland Progress
Otis M. Carroll son of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Carroll. who recently moved to 
South Alabama, Was Called to his eternal home January 8th. leaving to mourn his 
sad death his father, mother, five brothers and five sisters, other relatives, 
and abundance of friends. He was in Camp 3 A. Oregon when he died, and his body 
was sent back to his old home at Cleveland's Crossroads to be interred at New 
Prospect church. The body was carried from the house to by the solider friends 
for funeral service which was conducted by Elder H. H. Goodman. Otis was 23 
years old. In August 1915, he joined the Primitive Baptist church and was 
baptized. He remained a faithful and loyal member, believing in salvation by 
grace until his heavenly father called him to his sweet home where there is no 
more heart aches and, "where there's no more stormy clouds to rise." Early in 
the spring last year he left school at Jacksonville, Alabama, where he very much 
delighted to be and volunteered to go into the service of his country. He went 
to Camp 3 A, Toledo, Oregon, and there remained a loyal soldier until death. It 
should be a great consolation to his dear father and mother to know that he was 
in true service of our great country and that he gave not only his service but 
gave his "all" for the preservation of the great republic which our forefathers 
so gallantly fought for and to prevent the terrible suffering of humanity which 
was prevailing. It is very sad to submit to the death of a noble son, but his 
people should remember that they are not alone in their bereavement, but friends 
who know how, and do, sympathize with them. Otis was of a very sweet disposition 
and gained friends wherever he went, that he remained a true Christian till 
death is made manifest to his relatives and friends..........
