• Notes

  OBITUARY NOAH KARNES (From the Eagle--1914) (October 28, 1853-May 7, 1914) On the 7th day of May, 1914 another landmark citizen of Mills county passed away, in the person of Noah Karnes. He came to this section of what is now Mills county (29 years ago) 32 years ago. During this long residence he has been one of the best citizens of the county just and unobtrusive, but always willing and ready to answer the call of duty. Such as he were in the mind of Goldsmith when he paid that beautiful tribute to that honest type of manhood, known as the Yoemanry, who have made the world what it is as expressed in the following lines; "Ill fares the land to hastening ills a prey, Where wealth accumulates and men decay; Princes and lords may flourish or may fade, A breath can make them as a breath has made, But an honest Yoemanry-their country's pride When once destroyed can never be supplied." Noah Karnes will be missed by the best interests in all life's relations; he was true to them all. Perhaps no man in Mills county had more friends among those knowing him well than did he. While he never affiliated with any church organization, shortly before his death he expressed a living faith in the Savior of Men and a willingness and a readiness to go. Words are futile in the attempted expression of all that the going of such a man means. We can but regret his going, and be inspired by his virtues to higher conception of duty and truer living. His wife and children and other relations have the sympathy of all who kow them in their sad bereavement. A FRIEND He married ALICE LUCINDA MORGAN on 20 May 1880. ALICE LUCINDA MORGAN was born on 18 Sep 1859 in TX. Died on 11 Dec 1949 in BROWN CO. TX [S2]. They had the following children: +2 i. MINNIE KARNES +3 ii. CHARLIE ANDREW KARNES +4 iii. SARAH JANE [SALLY] KARNES +5 iv. NORA S. KARNES +6 v. MOLLIE KARNES +7 vi. LILLIE ANN KARNES +8 vii. MYRTLE EMMA KARNES +9 viii. ARCHIE ARZORA KARNES
