I have some Carrolls of Itawamba in my ancestry. I recently found some old clippings of the obits of my great grandma's old trunk. I thought they might be of some benefit to others so I copied them below. I am not sure of the the dates, since they were not included with the clippings.....and I have not checked the cemetery book.....yet! Nancy ***** 2 CARROLL OBITS. G.W.
