"DEATH OF MRS. SALLIE CARROLL
Mrs. Sallie (nee Fortenberry) Carroll, pioneer, Texas and long time resident of Tarrant County, died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. L. N. Rutland eight miles south of Arlington Saturday night at 11 o'clock.
Mrs. Carroll was born in Birmingham, Alabama, July 18 1866. She came to Texas with her parents in 1888 and was married to W. O. Carroll in 1889. They made their home in Honey Grove Texas until the death of Mr. Carroll in 1905. She moved to Tarrant county in 1906 and lived here from that date until her death. Mrs. Carroll was known as "Aunt Sallie" to her many friends. She joined the Baptist church in 1885 and was actively interested in church work until her death.
"Aunt Sallie" was lenient and tolerant in her views of life. Age, illness, and suffering did not dim, but rather increased her faith in God and the goodness of life. Death came after an illness of several months. She died as she lived "Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams. Mrs. Carroll lived a life of devotion and love. Those that knew her feel that the world is a bit better off for her having lived.
The last obsequies were held at the Webb Baptist Church at 2 p.m. Sunday afternoon. A large host of relatives and friends gathered to pay their last respects. Even a person who had never known her in life could not help but feel the force of her Christian character, as the great number of acquaintances filed by the flower decked casket of a woman they knew to be a loving mother and grandmother.
Rev. J. W. Reddy spoke briefly of the life of the deceased. No higher tribute could be paid than when he said "She was one of the greatest of Christian Mothers."
Dr. Price spoke of the joys that come to one who "Lives so that they can die with the calmness of Mrs. Carroll."
Mrs. Carroll is survived by two daughters: Mrs. David Swain of Arlington, Mrs. L. N. Rutland of Arlington; two brothers; S. W. Fortenberry of Honey Grove, John Fortenberry of Oklahoma City; and eight grandchildren and one great grand child.
Mrs. Swain was unable to attend the funeral of her mother, because she is in a critical condition in a hospital in Fort Worth.
Pall-bearers were: Olan Rutland, Leslie Rutland, Raymond Rutland, C. R. Francis, W. L. Francis and L. G. Deeds.
Interment was in the Parkdale Cemetery."
