Mrs. John Carr Passes Away at Jamestown Home

Jamestown, N. D., March 6 --- Mrs. John Carr, wife of States' Attorney Carr, passed away at midnight Wednesday night, following an illness of about two weeks. Mrs. Carr has been in poor health for almost two years, but had been gaining in health and strength up to about the first of the year. About two weeks ago, she was taken with what was considered a very mild attack of influenza, and was not considered seriously ill until Wednesday noon. She failed very rapidly from then on until the time of death.

The deceased was forty-five years of age, having been born in Dennison, Minnesota, on May 19, 1874. Her maiden name was Marie Remmen, and she was married to Mr. Carr on August 22, 1905 in Minnesota, coming directly to Jamestown with her husband who had started in business here three years before. Mrs. Carr was a graduate of the State Normal School at Valley City and taught in the city schools at that place for about six years prior to her marriage.

Mrs. Carr leaves in addition to her husband, four children: Edwin, aged 13; Mary, aged 10; William, aged 5; and Martha, aged two years and five months. She also leaves her mother, Thora (Mrs. Anders T.
