    "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." Philippians 1:21 





     Carroll H. Tester, age 80, of the Embreeville community, loving husband, 

devoted father, and humble servant of God, went to be with his Lord and 

Saviour Thursday, September 7, 2006 after a brief but courageous battle with 

cancer. He was born April 11, 1926, in Washington County, and was a graduate 

of Washington College Academy in 1944. He was a long-time member of the 

Embreeville Church of Christ, where he served as deacon and board secretary 

for nearly 20 years. In addition to being a farmer, he was a retired employee 

of Nuclear Fuel Services, Inc. where he worked for over 35 years. He was a 

member of the Centennial Lodge #491, the Jericho Shrine, the Knoxville 

Scottish Rite, and a long-time member and officer of the Lamar Ruritan Club. 





    He was preceded in death by his father, Millard Tester; by his mother, 

Eliza Walker Tester; by a son, Richard Stephen Tester; six brothers; and two 

sisters. 





    He is survived by his wife of over 57 years, Betty Treadway Tester; two 

sons Michael Tester and wife Star of Jonesborough and Patrick Tester and wife 

Angela, Telford; three grandchildren, Robert Tester, Kaylee Tester and Connor 

Tester; two nephews, Buddy Tester and Frank Tester; three nieces, Lora Rice,
