Died, on the 16th, inst., of Cogestion of the Lungs and Stomach, J.D. 
Carne, After and Illness of Four Days.

The Funeral Services conducted by the Different Lodges of the City, 
of Which He was a Member.

A Large Attendance of Friends Follow the Remains to Their last 
Resting Place.

Mr. Carne was born April 3, 1842, in Henry county and consequently 
was 46 years and 13 days old. He was the son of Dr. Carne, who came 
from Henry county to this county many years ago, and who practiced 
physic in the 12th district of this county for years, and died near 
Concord church where he had lived.

Mr. J. D. Carne was a member of the Old School Presbyterian church, 
having held his membership at Concord and at Old Shiloh, the latter 
of which he was a member at his death. He loved his church, her 
doctrines, her people and everything belonging thereto. He was a 
member of the Masonic order, Knights of Honor and Knights of Pythias, 
by which orders he was buried.

His life was one of devotion, self denial and constant work, 
preferring always to deprive himself of comforts to favor his 
fellowmen.

He was educated at Bluff Springs in this county under Jno. W. 
Dickenson, in 1891 receiving his diploma with the highest honors. He 
had taught school a great deal of his time very successfully but was 
generally engaged in farming.

He was married twice -- his first marriage to Miss Mary Simmons in 
1863, by whom there were born six children, three of whom survive 
him; his second marriage to Miss Sallie Hale in February, 1875, who 
died the 7th of March past, preceeding him only a few weeks. The 
fruits of his last marriage were seven children -- five girls and two 
boys, all living.

Mr. Carne was an exceedingly popular man, as evidenced by the large 
vote he obtained whenevera a candidate. He began the race for County 
Court Clerk in 1874, but withdrew before the election. In 1878 he 
made the race for Clerk and was defeated by one vote only; whereupon 
he connected himself with Mr. J. C. Long as his assistant in the tax 
office for two years, after which he entered the canvass again in 
1882 for Clerk and was elected by a large majority, and in 1886 he 
was reelected without opposition and died as such clerk enjoying the 
confidence of the entire community -- both as a good citizen and 
competent business man. He was very apt, quick of preception, and had 
a very relentive memory.

He was an exemplary christian man, and havin ghad a good deal of 
sickness in his family and having been for the greater part of his 
life a victim of dyspepsia, he deserves all the more praise for 
enduring it all during life and braving death as a hero.

Truly it may be said that a good man has gone, for his place will be 
hard to fill, and his presence missed. He has left his family a good 
heritage, in that that he has left them a good name.

As evidence of the esteem and appreciation in which he was held, we 
have only to refer to the largest procession of friends ever seen to 
follow the remains of any one to his last resting place.

His death has cast a gloom over the whole community, and while we 
join the family in mourning their irreporable loss, we are willing to 
believe it is all right.
