Carnesville Herald, May 22, 1930
After living to the ripe age of almost 90 years, death came to Mr. John 
McCall, prominent citizen of near Martin on Monday morning at 10 o'clock.  His 
death was very sudden from heart trouble.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. A. W. Bussey at Clarkes Creek Church 
Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 after which his remains were laid to rest in the 
church cemetery.  A large number of friends and relatives attended the 
funeral, attesting to the high esteem in which he was held.
Mr. McCall was a remarkable man for such an advanced age.  He was alert of 
mind and would discuss events with clearness and force right up to the time of 
his death.  He was also very active physically for a man of 90 years and the 
morning of his death he was up and about and had planned to help with the 
garden work.
He served the South in the War Between the States for 3 years in the 52nd 
Georgia Regiment.  He made a splendid record in the war and was raised to the 
rank of sergeant.  Mr. McCall was a well-informed man, took much interest in 
the progress of his section and county.  He had lived a most useful and 
influential life in the community where he was born and lived until the time 
of his death.  One noble deed of he and his son, Mr. Tom McCall, was rearing 
three orphan boys.
He is survived by 5 sons and 1 daughter, Mr. George McCall, Mr. J. T. McCall, 
Mr. W. P. McCall, Mrs. T. S. Segars, Mr. S. C. McCall and Mr. Doomis McCall.  
Also, three adopted boys, Aster Brock, Burnard Campbell and Ralph McCall.
To the bereaved family the Herald joins this countless friends in extending 
sympathy in the passing of this splendid citizen.
