MR. S. S. CARRIKER DIES AFTER LONG ILLNESS

At an early hour Thursday morning, Mr. S. S. Carriker, one of Arcadia's oldest 
and best known citizens passed away, after a long period of acute suffering 
from cancer of the stomach.  He has been a resident of this place for 34 
years, and for several years was engaged in the mercantile business here.

Mr. Carriker was a member of the Presbyterian church, of which he was an 
elder.  He was also a member of the Arcadia Lodge, No. 126, F. & A. M.

He is survived by his wife and other relatives.  It can be said of him that he 
was a devout Christian, a consistent Mason and worthy citizen; and his 
presence will be greatly missed.  The funeral was held Thursday afternoon at 
4:00 o'clock, his remains being laid to rest in the Arcadia Cemetery.

Additional Comments:
Sidney S. Cariker named is spelled with an extra "R" in this obituary.  His 
headstone at Arcadia Cemetery has it spelled "Cariker" with one "R." Other 
documents also spell the name both ways.  S. S. Cariker was born January 7, 
1842 in Heard County, Georgia. He was married to Mary "Fannie" Rasberry in 
Tallpoosa County, Alabama on November 1, 1866.  She was born in 1842 and died 
on December 27, 1929.  They share a monument in Arcadia Cemetery, however, 
Fannie's death date was never carved into the headstone. S. S. was a Private 
in Company I, 3rd Regiment, Alabama Infantry from 1861-1865; he surrendered on 
April 9, 1865 in Appomattox, Virginia.
