Obituary of

Samantha Carmichael

The Dillon Herald, Dillon, South Carolina
October 19, 1905, Vol. 10, No. 43

This good Christian, woman passed away at her residence in Dillon last Friday morning at an early hour. She had been in declining health for many months, and while her taking away was not a surprise to those who knew of her condition, still it was a great shock. She spent several months at a hospital in Richmond seeking health and then went to the home of her son, Mr. H. Hoyt Carmichael in Charlotte, but the malady with which she had been seized was incurable, and about three weeks before her death she returned home and quietly and peacefully awaited the final summons.

Mrs. Carmichael was the widow of the late D. C. Carmichael, who was drowned in Charleston harbor some months ago by the capsizing of a small sail boat. She was 59 years old, and is survived by four children, H. Hoyt Carmichael, of Charlotte; D. C. Carmichael, of Dillon; Mrs. S. M. Brasswell, of Fork, and a small daughter.

She was laid to rest beside the grave of her husband at the McDuffie burying ground Saturday morning.
