Kinley M. Carr died Saturday night at 11:20 from a stroke of paralysis which he received on election day and from which he never rallied. Death occurred at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Laura A. Scott, 608 Bindford street, where he had Mrs. Carr made their home. The funeral will occur there on Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock conducted by Rev. F.W. Hixson of the First Methodist Church, with the co-operation of the Masonic order. Mr. Carr was born seventy-seven years ago last July in Henry county, near New Castle, but early in life moved to Howard county, where on September 23, 1855, he married Miss Permelia J. Cash. I was in that county that he spent the active years of his life and became quite wealthy. In the panic of 1875, however he lost most of hit property, a large part of it on account of security debts. He was a man of most generous nature and impulses. At the age of twenty-one he joined the Masons and was very active in that order, having taken a every degree. He was a master of one masonic lodge for fifteen years, and a Masonry became his church after his withdrawal from Friends church, which followed according to the rules of those days when he married one not of that faith. In Masonry Mr. Carr was at one time an authority in the state of Indiana. In politics he was a Democrat of the old school and in Howard county was accounted one of the best politicians of his time. About fifteen years ago he settled in Montgomery county, living on a farm southwest of this city. Seven years ago he moved to Crawfordsville, where he has lived the quiet life. His wife survives him, but is in a very precarious condition herself, having been ill for some time. He also leaves behind two daughters, Mrs. Laura A. Scott and Mrs. Cyrus Little, who lives west of the city near Yountsville. - thanks to Kim H
