JAMES CARROLL 12-26-1807 North Carolina to 12-12-1863

Union County, Ark North west of Hwy. 15 south, from El Dorado.

Carroll Cemetery, Union Co, AR

When my great-grandfather James Carroll died the

Confederate Army had taken all the mules and horses.

There was nothing to draw the wagon to take him to Hopewell

Cemetery where other relatives were interred.

That trip was more than 5 miles and he was a rotund man.

His adult sons were in the army. The women had his body

taken about 25 yards from the house and buried. There he lies alone.
