Horry Herald January 11, 1894
Petaway Cartrette

At his home on Maple Swamp, Horry County, S. C., Dec. 7, 1893, Mr. Petaway 
Cartrette, aged about 76 years. He had been sick for several days, but being 
able to sit up and walk about, his death was not expected so suddenly. While 
he was sitting by the fireside talking with some of his children, the 
messenger of death came and called him away. His loving companion and dear 
children, who only a few moments before entertained strong hops of this 
ultimate recovery, were stricken with sorrow at the sad bereavement. 

Mr. Cartrette was held in high esteem by all who knew hem. He was a good man 
of sound character and good judgment, cheerful and full of public spirit. His 
counsel and assistance were never sought in vain by his neighbors when in need 
or distress. These could ever rely upon his kindness and generosity. He had 
been a member of the Methodist Church for 50 years and, at the time of his 
death was a trustee of the Poplar Church.

Surely in the death of Mr. Cartrette we feel in the community we have lost one 
of our best men-one, whose place it will be hard indeed to fill. But we bow in 
submission to the will of God and are thankful for his being spared so long to 
do good among us. He leaves an aged wife with who he aged in happiness for 51 
years. Several children and grandchildren and a host of friends to mourn, with 
her, his loss. May the Lord sustain the aged widow and surviving children 
under this sad dispensation of Providence; for “God is our refuge and strength 
and a present help in time of trouble.”

Dearest Brother, thou hast left us.
Here thy loss we deeply feel,
But ‘tis God who hath breft us;
He can all our sorrows heal.

D. D.A.
