13. A. B. Carhart Obituary. DEATH VISITS MANCHESTER HOMES

A. B. CARHART, WELL KNOWN HARDWARE DEALER, GIVES UP LIFE’S BATTLE

Impressive Funeral Services Held

Feb. 5 1914

Masons Pay Tribute to Memory of Beloved Brother

A. B. CARHART, for seventeen years a prominent business man of
Manchester, passed away at his home in this city on Thursday night,
shortly before midnight, following an illness of a week. For nearly a
year those most closely associated with Mr. CARHART have noticed a
decline in his physical strength, but notwithstanding this decline he was
always found at his post of duty until just a week before his death.
Although his friends in Mancheseter had known of his critical illness few
days previous to the final summons, not even those who watched constantly
at his bedside realized that the sickness through which he was then
passing would bring the summons.

Impressive funeral services were held at the Congregational church Sunday
afternoon at 2:30, Rev. J. F. MOORE preaching the sermon, paying a
beautiful tribute to the memory of Mr. CARHART. Members of the Masonic
lodge attended in large numbers, and because of the severity of the
weather, the Masonic burial service was read in the church. The services
were attended by a large number of sorrowing friends and lodge members.
Following the services the remains were placed in the receiving vault in
Oakland cemetery, interment to be made at a later date.

Mr. CARHART was born at Eden, Delaware County, Ohio, March 11, 1854, and
spent his boyhood days in the native county in that state. When a boy in
his teens his parents removed from the state of Ohio, and went to Macon,
Missouri, where he grew to young manhood. After finishing his schooling
he taught school for a short time in the western part of Iowa.

In the spring of 1878 he came to Manchester, and found employment in the
grocery store conducted by A. B. TERRIL. On May 16, 1878, Mr. CARHART was
united in marriage with Miss Lizzie L. LANDIS of Philadelphia, their
marriage taking place in Chicago. The day following their marriage, Mr.
and Mrs. CARHART came to Manchester, where they have lived happily
together for over thirty-six years. After several months of faithful
service in Mr. TERRILL’s grocery store, Mr. CARHART changed from the work
of the grocery clerk to that of work in the hardware store of ADAMS
Brothers. For nearly two years, Mr. CARHART was in the employ of this
pioneer hardware firm. Before going into business in Mancheseter Mr.
CARHART held responsible positions as a traveling salesman for hardware
concerns of Chicago and Dubuque, following this occupation for nearly
sixteen years. When the necessity of a rest from close attention to
business cares compelled Mr. CARHART to make a change, the sale of the
large stock was affected.

During all of the years that Mr. CARHART was associated with the business
interests of Manchester, he formed the most intimate friendships among
his business associates. By adherence to such rules of life as make for
the square deal in all of his transactions he at once won the confidence
of those who came in contact with him. Althought his time was occupied
with the cares and responsibilites of a large business, he always found
time to have a friendly word with those who had learned to love him.

Not only did he stand for the square deal in the business life of this
community, but his influence for good was felt even more strongly in the
church and lodge. For years, he had been intimately associated with the
work of the Congregational church, being a member of the board of deacons
at the time of his death. He was faithful in the performances of his
church obligations. His faith in his Maker was deep seated and his
earnest Christian life proved an inspiration to his pastor, with whom he
had entered into a most intimate friendship, and fellow church members.

In the death of this beloved citizen the Masonic order suffers the loss
of a faithful member. During the many years that he was affiliated with
this order he held many positions of honor and trust and was faithful to
all of the high principles for which the Masonic order stands. He was a
member of Manchester Lodge No. 145 (165?), A. F. & A. M; Olive Branch
chapter No. 48; Knights Templar, and Elam Council No. 33, and also of El
Kahir Temple Nobles of the Mystic Shrine.

Mr. CARHART leaves to mourn his death his devoted wife and one daughter,
Miss Nina CARHART, and one son, Bert CARHART of St. Louis. Besides the
wife and two children he leaves his aged and invalidmother, Mrs. Margaret
CARHART, and four sisters, Mrs. Lena MITCHELL, Miss Ida CARHART, Miss
Edith CARHART, all of Macon, Missouri, and Mrs. Leroy PERRINA of
Chillicotha, Missouri.

The sudden death … has blasted cherished plans. Often had he remarked
to his most intimiate friends that he longed for the time when he would
be able to lay aside the busy cares of life and be able to enjoy in a
larger measure the companionship of his family.

At this time of great sorrow, Manchester friends extend to the bereaved
ones, sincere sympathy.

p.m., 10 August 1914 at about 74.

General Notes: Wife – Margaret E. + Pettit

Mrs. M. E. CARHART
Death Came to Aged Resident of Macon Monday Evening

Born in 1830

Mrs. Margaret E. CARHART, one of the pioneer residents of Macon, and a woman
much beloved for her many excellent qualities, gently passed to the home beyond
at 8:15 o’clock Monday evening, August 10, 1914, after a long illness, at ther
home on North Rutherford street.

She was born in Zanesville, Ohio, January 21, 1830, and at the time of her
death was well past the three score and ten, and all of them were years of
usefulness and well-doing till illness and feebleness, brought on my advanced
age, caused her activities to slacken.

Deceased reared a large family of children, four daughters surviving: Miss Ida
CARHART, Miss Edith CARHART, Mrs. R. G. MITCHELL and Mrs. Rosa PERRINE of
Chillicothe. Three sons, reared to manhood, have gone before: Arlington,
Carrington and Arthur, Arlington’s death occurring the past year: Mr. CARHART
died December 29, 1905.

Many friends will unite with us in extending sympathy to the bereaved daughters
who will deeply mourn the departure of their beloved mother and best friend.

The funeral services were held at the residence Wednesday morning at 9o’clock,
conducted by the Rev. W. D. CATER of the M. E. church of this city. Deceased
was a faithful member of the Presbyterian church, but in the absence of her
pastor, the Rev. Ira W. BARNETT, who is spending his vacation in Colorado, Mr.
CATER officiated.

Internment was made in Oakwood cemetery.
