The death angel visited the home of Mr. Elijah Carter Saturday morning and took from him his youngest boy, Alvin. He was a devoted son and brother and will be missed by all who knew him. He bore his sufferings with patience. All was done for poor Alvin that anyone that could do, but we could not keep him longer, for Jesus reached out his hand and said come and go with me, for I have a bright mansion prepared for you. He leaves to mourn his loss an aged father, two sisters and two brothers, Mr. E. W. Carter, Messrs. L. and Lewis, Miss Barcie Carter and Mrs. Sallie Mason, and many friends. Weep not, for Alvin is not dead but only sleeping till the Judgment Day. Get ready to meet him, for Jesus is coming for you like he came and called the dear boy and there will be a great reunion in the sweet by and by. Rev. W. J. Lovvorn conducted funeral services and laid him to rest in the Sanders Cemetery. (Cedartown Standard, Thursday, October 11, 1917)
