THE MAXWELL TRIBUNE, Maxwell, Iowa, Thursday, April 4, 1901, page 1, column 3. "Gone to His Reward - Rev. James Carr, died at the home of his son, Wm., near Valeria, April 1, 1901, at the advanced age of eighty-two years, having been born in the year 1819. Father Carr was a modest, retiring gentleman, who possessed that uprightness of character which was to him a fortune and descends as a rich legacy upon all who were fortunate in being numbered among his friends, of whom there are many in this locality. That animating spark called life has left the material body, to live forever as an integral portion of the universal spirit of the Creator."
