OBITUARY: Carrol Selman, 23 Jun 1881 - Smith County, TX Submitted by Vicki Betts 21 Sep 2002 Copyright.

E. R. and Flora Large, was born January 21, 1880, baptized by Rev. John Adams April 3, 1880, and died June 23, 1881. Little Carrol was an interesting child, the pet and best loved of a fond father and mother, the sunshine and joy of doting grand parents; but God who have him [mis-transcribed?] called him away from earthly ties, to dwell forever in a home that is free from pain and care. May the grace of the good Lord enable the afflicted to give up this treasure willingly, and may they remember always that little Carrol, clothed in the shining garments of an angel, is waiting and watching for them. —J. E. Zachry.
