The Conyers Times, May 28, 1926
J. W. CARTER, JR.
     A pall of deep gloom was cast over Conyers by the tragic death of one of 
the well-known young man of the town, Mr. J. W. Carter, Jr.  Joe, as he was 
familiarly called by those who knew him best and loved him most, who met his 
untimely fate in an automobile accident May 18th, 1926. He was the youngest son 
of J. W. Carter and was born in Conyers, Ga., on July 19, 1898, and was happily 
wedded to Miss Hannah Hohl, October 1, 1918 in her home church in Philadelphia, 
Penn.
     For a man of his age Joe had a wide experience, having served several 
years in the navy and visited many foreign countries. In the service of the 
world war he was faithful to his every call of duty, but finally failing health 
brought him home and after repeated visits to various hospitals he improved in 
health and was associated in business with his father at the time of his death.
     Joe was an affectionate son,, and husband and a true, loyal friend. We who 
had known him from the day he entered school as a little boy, the idol of his 
parents as a lad, the jolly companion of other lads, as a young man faithful 
and true to his friends, and as a son and husband in his every day life at home 
we will miss his cheery whistle of greeting and the bright, cordial salutation 
which was ever ready for his friend.
     As the sun was sinking to rest behind western hills his flower laden 
casket was tenderly lowered to rest in Eat View Cemetery in a bank of lovely 
flowers, which were a silent testimony of appreciation of him and his family.
     The funeral services held in the home by Rev. T. M. CALLAWAY in a very 
impressive manner, were concluded at the grave-side and the hopes of aged 
father and the light and joy of the life of a young wife were laid away to 
await the happy resurrection morn.
A life-long friend,
Mrs. B. F. Tucker
