Frank Carr, second son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Byron Carr of this city, who died
at st. Mary's hospital in Rochester on
Thursday morning, June IA, 1917, was
brought to Sank Centre Friday eve
ming. The remains were taken to the
family home, from which place the
funeral services were held on Sunday
afternoon at three o'clock. Rev. C.. S.

and spoke briefly. A quartet consist
ing of Mrs. J. w. Ward, Miss Bernice

ers were Messrs. B. F. Dubois, L. l..
Kells, F. w. Perry, w. A. Moore, P.
B. Hanson and R. E. Hansen, all old
friends of Mr.. Carr.
The EXPRESSION of sympathy shown
in the multitude of flowers brought
much comfort to the bereaved family,
especially at the cemetery where the
remains were laid to rest. Here
friends had motored on ahead of the
procession and transformed the grave
into mound of flowers placed with
infinite care. 1t seemed fitting also
that the final resting place should
have been chosen just beneath the
shade of an oak tree, as Mr.. Carr was
a great lover of nature and the Sc
lection was as he would have desired.
The deceased is survived by his aged
parents, three brothers and two sisters,
as follows: Harry Carr, Hunter, n. D.;
Robert Carr, Ranger. N. d.; Irving Carr
Rhame, N. D.; Clara j. Carr, Sank Gem

An obituary dictated by Mrs. c. c.
Tobey, who is an intimate friend of
the family and who was at the hos
pital during the illness of Mr.. Carr. 1t
is published below:
Frank T. Carr, second son of Mr..
and Mrs. B. F. Carr was born in Sank
Centre May %, 1871, and grew tc
manhood here. He died at st. Mary,s
hospital, Rochester, Mimi, June Id,
1917, after tedious illness Of 80 days,
during the last of which no hope was
held out for his recovery.
Frank began his business career by
keeping books for G. HI. Petit for sew
eral years. For the past ~ years ne
has worked hand in hand with his
father in the government service,
most of which time was spent on the
Indian reservation near Detroit, MINI.
For the past eight years, however,
they have been connected with the de-
partment of justice with headquarters
at Minneapolis. For the past three
years Frank had been in the govern
ment secret service. So much were his
services valued that. his salary contln-
ued until the day of his death. -.
It was not given to those OUTSIDE
his own family to understand his
quiet, undemonstrative nature. Fam
lily ties and family associations were
dear to him; he loved no chums better
than his brothers; he was always
loving and considerate of his sisters,
while his father and mother were
seated high above all, on throne be-
fore which he gave the homage OF
dutiful son.
To few is it given to pass through
the narrowing experiences that were
his lot during the last 80 days OF his
life on earth. It soon became evident
that Franks case was an unusual one,
even for Rochester. Interest in him
spread to other floors of the hospital,
and anxious inquiries were made re-
garding him every day. He was under
the direct care of DIR. Will Mayo.
Every new development in his case
was studied in consultation and each
was q record that surprised the noted
physicians. So great was the personal
interest and admiration felt by DR..
Mayo for Frank that his death was
almost a personal grief.
He fought a great fight, who shall
say that in the end it was not a VIC.
tory?
