Nathaniel Carrel obituary 1892
The Holton Recorder, Holton Kansas
Thursday, April 14, 1892
Died Tuesday, April 5, 1892, at the residence of A.J. Carrel, two and a half miles southeast of Mayetta, Mr. Nathaniel Carrel, aged eighty years, three months and four days, after a brief illness.Mr. Carrel was born in Tennessee, and when eight years old left that state with his parents for Clay County, Missouri, and from there he moved to Dekalb county, that state, and resided there until recently, becoming old and infirm, two companions having preceded him, and his family being broken up, he concluded to come to Kansas and spend the remainder of his days with his son, who is himself blossoming with many years of honest toll and Christian endurance.Here Grandpa Carrel fully resigned himself to the care of Him who rules the destiny of mankind, and seemed to enjoy remarkably good health for one of his age.Recently he was stricken with paralysis, which, with his old and declining years, baffled all medical skill.But Grandpa Carrel become perfectly resigned to the will of Him who doeth all things well.His life has been an exemplification of Christian forbearance, he having early in life professed his faith in Christ, and in his last hours of affliction fully exemplified the words of the poet:
"Here, Lord, I give myself away;
"Tis all that I can do."
The many sorrowing friends have the sympathy of the entire community in this their sad hour of affliction, and especially his aged son, who has had the care and attention of his kind old father during his last hours of affliction, but his friends can all have the comforting consolation of knowing that in his death these words will be verifies:"If a man die he shall live again."After all that mortals could do had been done all that remained of Grandpa Carrel was tenderly laid to rest in the Stanley cemetery to await the resurrection morn.
