Hon. A.A. Carson, of Columbus, Is Dead

The following announcement from Columbus, which was not unexpected, is however 
a shock and saddens the heart of hundreds of Taylor County friends of Mr. 
Carson, whose goodly life and character endeared him to so many people:

Columbus, Aug. 18 – Hon. Albert A. Carson, 63 years old, one of the most 
prominent attorneys of this city and of western Georgia died at his home here 
at 2:30 o’clock this afternoon.

Mr. Carson had been ill for some time.

He is survived by a wife, daughter and son, Willis Carson and Mrs. Fred 
Pomeroy, of Eufaula, Ala.

The funeral will take place at the First Baptist Church here tomorrow afternoon 
at 4:30 o’clock.

Mr. Carson was a native of Macon County and lived a number of years at Butler, 
coming to Columbus to reside more than twenty years ago.  He served at one time 
as Solicitor General of the Chattahoochee Judicial Circuit making a notable 
record.  Mr. Carson was very prominent in church and charity work.

The Late Albert A. Carson

Columbus and west Georgia sorrow beside the bier of Albert A. Carson, who in 
public and private life exemplified virtues and characteristics for which men 
are respected, admired and loved.

He lived and walked upon the heights, where his heart and his life were 
illumined by the love for his fellow man, which was reflected in his cordial, 
friendly greeting and smile and his golden deeds of charity.  To him many 
people went first in their hours of need and sorrow and none were refused.  He 
was a leader in church work and in works of charity.

Mr. Carson’s services as Solicitor General of the Chattahoochee Judicial 
Circuit comprise a notable chapter in the history of that important office.  He 
carried into discharge of its duties the same conscientiousness and the same 
regard for his fellow man that characterized his whole life.  He was a lawyer 
of unusual ability and as such ranked high among the members of the Georgia bar.

Mr. Carson held the highest esteem and respect of his fellow men.  Those who 
knew him well held him in affectionate regard.  The world is better for his 
having lived in it.  Such a life dispels the gloom of the final hour and lights 
the way to the Great Beyond.

The memory of Mr. Carson will be loved and cherished. – Columbus Ledger
