ROBERT GARLAND CARR

   The people of Franklin were shocked by the sudden death of Garland Carr, 
youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. N.L. Carr of this community, who was stricken 
with paralysis just after coming out of Sunday school at the Baptist church 
Sunday morning.  He was carried to his home in an unconscious condition and 
passed away at 4 o’clock the same afternoon without ever regaining 
consciousness.

   Garland Carr was a young man of exemplary habits and was only 18 years old 
although his unusual physical development made him a man of mature appearance 
and habits.  He was a consistent member of the Franklin Baptist Church and a 
constant attendant upon all of its services.  He was employed by the Lytton 
Manufacturing Corporation of this town, which was closed during his funeral 
was a mark of respect to his memory.

   His bereaved parents have the universal sympathy of our townspeople in the 
terrible blow which had fallen upon their home, taking away the youngest 
member of the family with a suddenness which reminds us all of the uncertainty 
of human life.

   He is survived by his father and mother; two brothers, E. Roy Carr of 
Roanoke, Va., and John N. Carr of Newport News; and one sister Mrs. R.C. 
Branch of this town.

   The funeral services were conducted from the Franklin Baptist Church Monday 
afternoon at 3 o’clock by Rev. M.A. MacLean, pastor of the deceased, in the 
presence of a large assembly of sorrowing friends.  Interment followed in 
Poplar Spring cemetery, the active pallbearers being Claude Beale, L.M 
Barrett, Geo.O. Watkins, A.G. Beaman, G.E. Johnson, E.K. Brinkley, Samuel B. 
Cutchins and Richmond Peters; honorary, Willard Cooper, Linwood Cooper, Emmett 
Griffin, Reuben Edwards, Geon Beale, Ezra Gray, Floyd Edwards, Sam Carrington, 
Richard Lawrence, J.G. Vann and R.C. Campbell.
