When a young man Carl united with the Hillsboro Christian church and until his last illness kept him confined he was a regular attendant of the Stockport Christian church. He spent his life in the Hillsboro and Stockport area.

Carl was a kind and devoted father to his family and friends, always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need. He always loved to work and derived a great pleasure from his work. He will always be remembered for his devotion to his wife, children, sons-in-law, grandchildren and his host of neighbors and friends.

He was preceded in death by two sisters, who died in infancy; two brothers, one which died in infancy and Cecil at the age of 28 and his mother.
