The Enterprise, July 12, 1907
Carl Elliott Dead
  On last Sunday evening at eight o'clock, at the home of his parents Mr. and
Mrs. W. D. Elliott, near Salem, Carl Elliott died from the effects of an attack
of typhoid fever.
  He had been in the drug business in Atlanta for about six months, but feeling
unwell, came home about a week before he died.
  Carl was the youngest of four brothers. He was 20 years of age and was a
young man of ability and character.
  He was loyal to his friends and generous to his enemies, tho' of the latter
he had but few. He loved his home and family. He was a member of the Methodist
church and when at home led the singing. He was very popular.
  Carl went to school to the editor of the Enterprise for three years. He
was one of the most loyal pupils and friends I ever had. He always told me
of his plans, etc., and asked my advice about anything he engaged in. Only a 
few days ago I received a long letter from Carl, telling me of his business
success, his future, etc. He had unbounded confidence in me and I always trusted
and believed in him. There are very few instances where such relationships
as existed between Carl and myself exists between a pupil and a teacher. In my 
saddest hour he did all he could for me. Knowing him as well as I did and 
enjoying the hospitality of his home frequently and becoming familiar with him 
and his family, naturally I loved him and I mourn today with his loved ones his 
sad departure.
