   1916 *The Carter Express *M.GILBERT,who was familiarly known as "Pappy
   "GILBERT,and of whom mention was made in last week's issue of the
   Express as being very low,died about 12 o'clock Saturday night.He had
   been sick a long time and suffered a great deal during his long
   illness.He has had several strokes of paralysis along at different
   times which of course weakened him more and more until he finally gave
   way under the strain.Mr.GILBERT was born in Fannin county,Texas,July
   18th,1842,which would make him over 73 years of age at the time of his
   death.He was married to H.B.THOMAS,January 18,1866,four children being
   born to the
   union:M.R.GILBERT,J.E.GILBERT,W.T.GILBERT,M.A.NIXON."Pappy"was a very
   jovial man for his age,so long as he was able to get around,and
   everybody liked him and had a good word for him whenever they met
   him.The remains were buried in the Carter Cemetery Sunday afternoon,a
   large congregation of people being present.Funeral services were
   conducted by Rev.B.D.GRIGGS,of Carter,after which the Masonic Lodge of
   this place took charge and he was given a masonic burial,having been a
   prominant member of that order for over 43 years.The Express joins the
   people of Carter and surrounding country in extending sympathy to the
   bereaved relatives.
