county, and not feeling very well last week, he was prevailed upon to see a
doctor and consulted one at Merrill, who either did not know the nature of
his illness or did not tell Mr. Carr, but advised him to go home, which he

and everything else possible done, but to no avail. Mr. Carr was a son of
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Carr, who resided in Akron a number of years ago. He

years. He is survived by his wife ...[the last few lines of this paragraph
