All that was mortal of Charles A..
Carson of Kissimmee, was laid to rest
in the Silent City Of. the Dead in that
place Wednesday evening Of this
week. Charles A.. Carson was a for
mer state senator and served in the
senate with H. HI McCreary for sew
eral terms. Mr.. Carson was also an
educator of marked ability, and was
for many years a member of the
board of trustees of Columbia College,
Lake City. Mr.. Carson was q Bap-
list in religion and served several
terms az president Of the Florida
Baptist convention In Kissimn1ee,
Mr.. Carson's home town, he was iden-
tilted with various commercial enter
prises until Ill health necessitated his
retirement from business in January.
Mr.. Carson was for several months
under treatment in a hospital In Bal
|timore, after which he returned TO
his home apparently much improved
in health. Several weeks ago Mr..
Carson and his wife went to Dania
10 visit Mr.. Carson's brother. John
BRYAN. and it was while there that
Mr. Carson was taken i'll and the end
lcan1e. Charles Carson was valua-
Ible man to the state, and in his death
the state has sustained great loss,
and thousands of friends are extend
| ing their deepest sympathy to his
widow and children The editor Of
1.-THE News and family are among the
number, for they counted tia pleasure
| to number this good man among their
friends.
