Miss Lilly Carson Dies At Decatur, Ala.

Beautiful and Accomplished Young Lady Passed Away Tuesday Night

One of Butler’s most lovable young ladies died of pneumonia as the result of
influenza, Wednesday morning about 2:30 o’clock at Decatur, Ala., where she had
been making her home during the past few months with her brother, Mr. Forrest
Carson.

She had been ill for two weeks prior to her death, but her condition was not
considered alarming until just before the end came.   In response to a telegram
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J.T. Carson, left last Thursday to be at her bedside.
 She rallied from the first attack and was thought to be improving early in the
week when her father left her to return to his business here, while her mother
remained at her bedside.  Mr. Carson had been at home only one day when a
message came that his daughter was in a dying condition.  He left again
Wednesday morning for Decatur, but death relieved his daughter of her suffering
before he reached there.

She has left us at the most useful and perhaps the happiest time in her
beautiful life, thereby causing great sorrow and sadness throughout this section
of the state where she was so well known and highly esteemed.

At an early age in life Miss Lilly gave her heart and life to God and united
with the Baptist church and in her the church had a willing hand and an obedient
heart.

She was about 28 years old and besides her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. J.T.
Carson, is survived by five brothers and one sister, viz: Mr. Forrest Carson, of
Decatur, Ala., Mr. Wallace Carson in the U.S. Navy, Messrs. Tom and Robert
Carson with the American Expeditionary Forces in France, Mr. Dan Carson, of
Macon and Mrs. R.R. Dunwoody, of Macon.

Her remains will be brought to Butler for interment.  The body will probably
arrive this afternoon.  Funeral arrangements have not yet been made.
