The Georgia Enterprise, Aug. 25, 1905

Old Citizen Dead
  Dr. John S. Carroll, a pioneer citizen of Covington and for many years one
of the city's most prominent men, died at his home here Monday morning at
7 o'clock.
  Dr. Carroll's health had been very feeble for several years and a year
and a half ago he was compelled to give up his office. For six months he
had been confined to his house and unable to do anything. His death was
caused from a general let-down.
  Dr. Carroll was born in Jackson, Butts county, June 15, 1828 and was
therefore seventy-nine years of age. His father moved to Covington when he
was five years of age where he has since made his home.
  He was married to Miss Ann McCrocken of this city and five children of this
union are still living. They are: Mrs. A. Boye, Mrs. J. M. Levy, Mrs. S.F.
He?den and Mrs. Florrie Clark, of Covington. Mrs. Carrie Camp, of Greely,
Col., and Mrs. Robert Colter of Muscogee, Indian Territory.
  Dr. Carroll was one of the oldest citizens of the town and had been 
prominent in the city's affairs for many years. As a member of the city
council he beautified our streets by planting shade trees on the principal
streets of the town. He was the soul of geniality, a man of unusually pleasant
and friendly manner, an honorable man and good citizen.
  The funeral services were conducted from the home of Mr. A. Boyce Tuesday
morning when the Masons took charge of the body and interred it with Masonic
rites.
