Unidentified Newspaper Obituary in Possession of Thurman Crosson, 1960. (note: Thurman Crosson, would have been a grand-nephew of Thomas!)

Thomas Carvell died October 26, 1907, aged 72 years, 3 months, and 3 days. He is survived by a widow, 2 sons and a great number of grandchildren. By the fireside lonely sits a vacant chair where a kind old father bore his sickness brave. Now the chair is vacant but not the chair alone. All his friends will miss him. God bless his vacant home.
