The Daily Post, Jefferson City, Mo., Wednesday, July 26, 1916 “Uncle Henry” Carroll, an aged and respected negro and civil war veteran, was found dead in his yard on Elm Street, about 8:30 last night by members of his family. “Uncle Henry” had been feeble and in ill health for some time but was not bedfast. It was thought that he had walked from his porch to near the front of the yard, where he was suddenly stricken and fell over an embankment. He was 74 years of age and for years had been doing janitor work about town. His last position was at the Washington school. During the civil war Carroll volunteered and was a member of one of the Negro Regiment which went forth to help free the race from bondage. He saw action and went all through the south. He was an interesting old negro and well liked. His wife died during the winter and he has not been well since that time. Several children will mourn him. An inquest was held this morning by Coroner Feller. The verdict was that he died from natural causes.
