Mr. J.H. Carver was born at Little Falls Herkimer Co N.Y. in 1819 and died
at Omro, Wis., May 23, 1896.  He was married in Pennsylvania, in 1862 to
the wife who now mourns his loss.  In 1869 he moved to Iowa and a few years
later came to Omro, where he has lived about a quarter a century.  He with
his wife has been a member of the Omro Baptist church since 1872 and he has
lived an exemplary life.  On Sunday afternoon May 24 a large concourse of
people gathered in the Baptist church for a last service in his memory, the
pastor Rev. E.G. Hamley, preaching the sermon, after which the remains were
taken to the Omro cemetery.  Mr. Carver was a kind and thoughtful man in
his home, a loving and tender husband.  Having a desire for reading he
enjoyed nothing so well as his Bible from which he derived great comfort.
He was ready to depart being assured that there was a mansion prepared for
him in that upper and better kingdom.
