John Carradine died at the home of his son, Walter on Saturday morning, January 25, 1890. He was born in Wales about the year 1799, and was consequently about 91 years of age. His early manhood was spent on a farm in his native country. In 1847 he came to this state and located on a farm 2 1/2 miles northeast of the village of Albany. He continued to reside there until about 12 years ago, when he removed to this village where he spent the remainder of his days, with the exception of two years. In 1826 he married Mary Pryce, and of this union were born five children, one son and four daughters, all surviving him. In 1852 he married Jane Evans and to them were born three sons, two surviving. About six years ago, on account of his extreme old age and failing health, he decided to take up residence with his son Walter Carradine, in this village, where he received the kindest and most tender treatment at the hands of his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Walter Carradine, who always was ready and willing to care for him when he was no longer able to care for himself. No daughter could have been more attentive and helpful and in conversation he often spoke of the kind treatment he was receiving at his home where he remained until death called him away. Mr. Carradine was a man of marked characteristics, he was a good citizen, an honest man, and one who toiled hard all his days with vigor. The funeral was held in the Baptist Church on Monday, Jan. 27, 1890, at 2 pm. A very large number were present. The service was conducted by Rev. R.N. Martin, assisted by Rev. J.F. Cowling, and his mortal remains were laid to rest in the Albany cemetery.
