It would be difficult to select another citizen in the State whose death would be more severely felt in his immediate neighborhood. Mr. Carraway was a man of remarkable natural powers which if cultivated, would have made him distinguished in the nation. He was practical and energetic; he was shrewd and liberal; he was a patriot and a Christian. Of gay temperament, he was the life of his circle of acquaintances and his death has made great gloom. Long will the light of his hospitalities stream in many a memory over the darkness which has lately befallen the land and many a heart will beat at the mention of the name of Wm. Carraway, who was a friend to his friends when they needed him. He died an acceptable and influential member of the Methodist Episcopal Church South and is doubtless in the land where "the wicked cease to trouble and the weary are forever at rest."
