She expressed her desire to pass out of this life of pain and toil into a life where she would be with Jesus and her loved ones, free from all sorrow and pain.

Her passing has cast a gloom over all. Though everything that loving hearts and willing hands could do was done for her, God saw best and took her out of her suffering. She bade us all good-bye, saying "I am ready and only waiting for my suffering to end."
She slipped away in the morning to see how beautiful heaven must be. There, with loved ones gone on before, she is waiting for the golden gates to open to those she leaves behind.

In a family of six children he was the third child and second son of John and Julia Clements Carnes. One brother, John Carnes has preceded him to the great beyond.
On July 7, 1888 Mr. Carnes was united in marriage to Nancy Ellen Purkhiser, who survives him. Four daughters and one son were born to this union: Mae Carnes at home, Mrs. Stella Qualkenbush, Mrs. Golda Moore and William R. Carnes of French Lick and Mrs. Grace Bailey of Terre Haute, Ind. As a father he was kind and affectionate, gentle, but firm, setting for them an example of right living by exercising those fine qualities of kindness, honesty and integrity.
Mr. Carnes has spent his life in the neighborhood in which he was born and was loved, respected and esteemed by all who knew him.
He united with the Christian Church in 1917 and has lived consistently in the faith, demonstrating this faith by his works. He was made elder of his church and being elected as one of the church trustees, he served consistently until death. It was his lot to serve in the above offices during the trying times of building and dedicating this church.
He leaves to mourn their loss his faithful companion for almost fifty years, five children, six grandchildren, one great-granddaughter, two brothers, two sisters and a host of other relatives and friends.
Harris, as he was known by his neighbors, lived a quiet, unassuming life, but was always ready to be of service and will be greatly missed by all who knew him and were helped by his kind, sympathetic and clean life.
