Close Deaths of Brother and Sister Mourned By Neighbors

(The Jeffersonian Staff Correspondence)
     Carrithersville, July 18--Words fail us as we try to write this morning.  Our community is so grieved 
over the sudden passing of Mr. Clay Carrithers and his sister, Mrs.Mayme Fisher.  Mr. Carrithers died at 
the Baptist Hospital late Monday.  The funeral services were held at Mt. Washington Methodist church 
Thursday afternoon.
     Mrs. Fisher had been in bad health for some time and the shock of her brother's death was too much 
for her frail body to stand.  She died at the home of her niece, Mrs. Walter Porter Friday morning.  
Funeral sevices were held at Cedar Springs church, where she was a member, Sunday morning at 11 
o'clock.
     Rev. W.E. Pound gave a splendid brief talk; then Brother Savage had charge of the service.  Burial was in 
Resthaven Cemetery.
     What makes these deaths sadder is that another brother, Mr. William Thomas Carrithers, passed away 
just 14 months ago.  Two brother and a sister in a little over a year.
     There are just two other children of Mr. and Mrs. F.O. Carrithers living,  Mr. A.L. Carrithrs, Louisville, 
and Mrs. Sallie McLure, Mt. Washington.
     The many friends that attended each of these funerals bore evidence of their standing in the 
communtiy.  Our sympathy goes out to each of these companions that are left so alone, and the dear 
children--two homes, one without a father and one without a mother.
     Our Heavenly Father has said that "not even a sparrow falls to the ground without His notice."  So we 
know that He is ready to comfort each of these sad hearts when they need Him most.
     Mr. and Mrs. Dudley Tucker, Taylorsville, came by Sunday morning to take Mr. and Mrs. J.F. Carrithers 
and Mr. C.W. Carrithers to Cedar Springs to the funeral and in the afternoon they went in to Louisville to 
see their niece, Mrs. Everett Brown, who has been very sick but is....

Suddenly, Tuesday Morning
Resthaven Burial Today

     A.C. (Clay) Carrithers, in his sixty-seventh year, died suddenly at Kentucky Baptist Hospital Tuesday 
morning at about 6 o'clock, after a several weeks illness.
     Mr. Carrithers, whose home was at Fairmount, had been taken to the hospital for treatment about two 
weeks ago and was thought to be responding nicely; also it was the plan to take him to his home on 
Wednesday.  The nurse had left his room a few moments to make preparations for his morning's bath, 
but upon her return found that life had quietly slipped away in her absence.
     One of the prosperous farmers along Floyd's Fork, Mr. Carrither's was a member of a large and well 
known family in that section.  He was twice married, the first wife being Miss Fronie Stout, who passed 
away several years ago.  To this union no children were born.  The second wife, whose maiden name was 
Miss Aletha Garrett, survives; also a little daughter, Sarah Lois, and an attractive little step-daughter 
Patricia Ann.
     Other survivors are a brother, A.L. Carrithers fo Louisville and two sisters, Mrs. J.F. McClure of Mt. 
Washington and Mrs. C.O. Fisher of Fairmount.
     The funeral was from the Mt. Washington Methodist church at 2 o'clock today (Thursday) and burial 
was in Resthaven Cemetery. 
     Two distressing coincidences might be mentioned in connection with Mr. Carrither's passing.  His wife 
was in bad health before he was taken sick and had been in the hospital being prepared for an operation.  
However, she fought off her illness and stood by as best she could while her husband was at the hospital, 
and still bears up bravely.  Another deplorable circumstance is the fact that his sister, Mrs. Fisher, 
collapsed as her brother's body--instead of the convalescent patient they had anticipated--was borne 
into his home, and she was taken to th home of the nearest neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Porter, where 
she yet remains in very serious condition.
