He then returned to Indiana, where he continued to make his home until 1869. In 1883, Mr. Carr located upon the land in Dayton Township, Webster County, which he had entered from the government in 1855, and he still owns one hundred and seventeen acres, which is now under a high state of cultivation and quite valuable. For some years he has been engaged in buying and shipping stock, and in partnership with N.J. Minnis does business at Dayton under the firm name of Carr & Company, dealers in livestock, grain, hay, oil meal, buggies and wagons. He is a stockholder in the Business Men's Building & Loan Association of Marshalltown, Iowa; the Dayton Investment Company and the First National bank of Dayton, and is one of the representative and prominent business men of the town. Socially he is a member of Oak Lodge, No. 531, A.F. & A. M. He served as Justice of the peace several terms and was thoroughly impartial in meeting out justice, his opinions being unbiased by neither fear nor favor." Dayton Review January 2, 1913 HENRY CARR KILLED One of the saddest tragedies that have taken place in this community recently took from our midst the life of our fellow townsman, Henry Carr, last Thursday. He was going home from town, when he was struck down by a runaway team belonging to the Brundien livery, and hurled to the ground with terrible force. Reuben Liljegren, who lives at the end of the Skillet Street bridge, where they accident took place, ran to him, and he and Mrs. Liljegren helped him to the house. Dr. Padgham was quickly called, and at first it was thought that his injuries were not serious beyond some severe bruises, but removing him to his home, it was found that he was fatally hurt internally, and he passed away in a couple of hours, his advanced age probably hastening the end. But a few moments before the accident he was seen in town as spry as usual, and our people were shocked at the news of his death. Henry Carr was born near New Market, in the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, December 10, 1833, being 79 years and sixteen days of age at his death. He removed with his parents to Jacksonburg, Indiana, in 1837, where he lived until 1869, when he moved to Corydon, Iowa. However in 1855, he had been to this community, entering from the government the land just west of town, which he still owned at the time of his death. He was married at Corydon to Miss Havana Niday, who preceded him to the Better Land April 23, 1891. To their union were born one son and seven daughters, of whom three daughters have gone before him. He is survived by the son, four daughters, 18 grandchildren, two brothers, and two sisters, who mourn his sudden death. In 1883, he came with his family to Dayton, where he has since lived, being engaged for many years in the live stock, farm implement, and feed business, from which he retired a few years ago. His funeral exercises were held Monday afternoon from Grace M.E. church, Rev. McKelvey conducting the services, and his remains were laid to rest in Dayton cemetery beside those of his wife. Mr. Carr was a charter member of Oak Lodge No. 531, A.F. and A.M., and the services at the grave were conducted in the beautiful and impressive ritual of the order that he loved so well. Honest and upright in all his dealings, Mr. Carr died as he lived, respected by all who knew him. He loved to encourage young men, and enjoyed the associations of life that threw him in contact with his fellow men. The end came swiftly, but it came also at the close of a long life of usefulness, in which duty had been given ever his earnest attention. A host of friends sympathize with the bereaved family in their hour of sorrow. CARD OF THANKS We desire to extend our heartfelt thanks to all whose sympathy and assistance were given us during our sad bereavement of our beloved father, Henry Carr, appreciating it as we do to the utmost. Children of Henry Carr.
