Cedartown Standard, February 11, 1904
On Wednesday morning, Feb. 8, the people of Rockmart and community were made 
sad by the death of Florence Carmichael, son of our efficient Deputy Sheriff, 
Jno. F. Carmichael, who is well known and highly esteemed throughout the 
country. To behold one fallen in the bloom of life is to be impressed with the 
uncertainty and the seriousness of life. He patiently bore the ravages of a 
fatal malady, and met face to face the great enemy, saying, "I am not afraid to 
die." Funeral services were held at the Methodist church in Rockmart on 
Thursday morning at 10 o’clock, conducted by Rev. T. J. Branson and Rev. J. Lee 
Allgood. Despite the muddy streets and the cold, a large attendance at the 
church and the cemetery gave evidence of the high esteem in which the family is 
heed by our people. The writer having been the young man’s teacher when he was 
last in school spoke of seriousness as being a necessary element in character 
growth. Not to have a substratum is to be out of harmony with the deepest 
meaning of life. Rev. J. Lee Allgood, with manifest pathos and effective 
earnestness, spoke of the beauty of obedience to parents that wherever this was 
found there was evidence of kindred virtues. A spirit of serious regard for the 
high and good, of cheerful and willing obedience to parents characterized 
Florence Carmichael’s entire life, and enabled him in the morning tide of 
twenty-three years to approach serenely the valley of the Shadow; and "like him 
who winds the drapery of his couch about him, lie down to pleasant dreams." May 
the God of all comfort solace and sustain the bereaved family. T. J. Branson.
