The Ligonier Echo Fri, Nov 09, 1962
Frank Lemon Carns, who lived nearly a century in the Ligonier Valley, died
Friday at his Oak Grove home at the age of 98. On Monday he was laid to rest in
Ligonier Valley Cemetery following obsequies in Sibel-Wolford Funeral Home
conducted by Rev. George H. Wright. America was still engaged in Civil War when
Frank Carns was born on the family farm between Oak Grove and Waterford, son of
the late William & Isabel Wilt Carns. It was May 23, 1964, less than a year
after the Battle of Gettysburg and nearly a year before Lee's surrender at
Appomattox. As a young man, Mr. Carns worked for the Pennsylvania Railroad until
Grover Cleveland's Administration when the railroads almost went broke. He
returned to Oak Grove and was a farmer the rest of his life. His wife, the late
Bertha Ulery, died 16 years ago, and he was predeceased by two sons (Clarence
and George). But he is survived by five sons and two daughters: Lemon F., Lloyd
H., William C., Earl, Fred, and Pealer Carns, and Mrs. Edward Tosh all of
Ligonier Township; Mrs. Catherine Barron of Somerset and Mrs. Charles Saylor of
Westminster College; 37 grandchildren, 40 great-grandchildren and ten great-
great-grandchildren.
