R.B. Hamm, Administrator of the estate of Hubert Hamm, deceased ------- IN MEMORY In memory of our darling wife, daughter and sister, Mrs. May Key, who passed away one year ago. Dreaming of you my darling when loving shadows fall. Dreaming my dear and longing, just longing to hear you. Stars in the Heaven above me, trees and sky all around, They seem to be listening, listening for that beautiful sound. I can see your face so lovely with those eyes so shiny bright looking down from above me, Oh, such a beautiful sight. Now as the moon starts ascending and the stars they fade from above, It is then I can hear you saying, I am at home with the angels above. And I am so lonesome, since God has taken you away. Our thoughts are still of you dear, and we miss you more each day. You left us in sadness my darling, since the day your passed away, But we'll meet you again in Heaven, Forever more to stay.

Carlson, Cleburne county has lost one of her most helpful and influential citizens. He had a large and lasting place in the hearts of her people. A native of Sweden, he came to America at 20, landing in Massachusetts where he found work in a greenhouse. While his stay there was short, it influenced his whole career, for there he learned to love all plant life. In a few months he entered Brown's Business College at Brooklyn, N.Y., graduating two years later and coming almost immediately to Fruithurst where he became identified with the Grape and Wine Industry. For a number of years he served as Mayor of the town; he never shirked what he considered a public duty. In 1900 he was married to Miss Anna Eleanor Malloch of Ensley with who he lived happily and usefully, till his death on February 6, 1942 at the home of his daughter Mrs. G.R. Smith of Mobile. He is survived by his wife and the following children: Dr. J.E. Carlson of Miami, Fla. R.A. Carlson of Washington Major R.L. Carlson of U.S. Army F.O. B.D. Carlson of U.S. Army E.J. Carlson of Auburn N.R. Carlson of Fruithurst Mrs. R.G. Staton of St. Petersburg, Fla. Mrs. G.R. Smith of Mobile Miss Ruth Carlson of Phenix CIty, Ala. Miss Edith Carlson of Fruithurst The public career of Mr. Carlson is varied and interesting. He was in 1911, appointed County Superintendent of Education. A few months later, he was appointed Agricultural Agent. For 32 years he served the county as Farm Agent. The service began back in the "horse and buggy" era, leaving his family early Monday morning, and returning every Saturday afternoon. He loved every phase of farm work. Always, the fields were lovlier to him than were the paved streets. He was familiar with nature, with actual things and with common facts. He was never happier than when working with his beloved 4-H boys. He learned their ambitions and hopes of their heart. It was his delight to help them find their nich in life and he has placed several young men in their life work. Early in life, Mr. Carlson joined the Lutheran Church, but not being a near a church of his faith, in 1916 he became an active member of the Methodist church of Fruithurst, where for the past 24 years he served as Superintendent of Sunday School. His was a rich, full and useful life. A woman spekaing of his many fine traits, said, " I went to him for many favors and he never failed me." He was a man of pleasing personality and of distinguished appearance. He was a character of solidity, having attributes of constructiveness for living day by day, shedding light along the way to those who served with him. He was never tempted, never swayed by alluring proposition for personal gain at the sacrifice of others rights and claims. Although one may have differed with him in point of view, always his honesty was impressive; it was his principle, his application of the Golden Rule. --------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Thursday, APRIL 6, 1944 NON-RESIDENT NOTICE Cleburne County, Alabama Probate Court Application of Mrs. M.J.T.
