Athens Weekly Review
Aug. 2, 1901
Mrs. Emma D. Carroll
No list of the pioneers of Henderson county would be complete
without the name of Mrs. Carroll. She was born in Kentucky
December 15, 1834, and died in Athens April 21, 1901(buried Old
Section Athens City Cemetery.) She was married in 1852 to *Mr. E. A. Carroll, who
died in 1880. She had eight children, four of whom survive her.
They are W. T. and E. A. Carroll, Mrs. C. F. Scott and Mrs.
Maggie Spencer, all of whom are doing well and are well fixed in
life. W. T. is clerk of the county court and is a man of fine
property and very popular. E. A. Carroll is one our leading
merchants and does a good business.
Mrs. Carroll saw Texas when privations and hardships were the
common lot of all. She lived to see a wild, uninhabited
wilderness transformed into a country of modern civilization. She
has left her impress for good upon the community in the
usefulness and honorable lives of her children.
Space at the date this is being written forbids a fuller account
of this life of this good woman.
*E. A. Carroll buried Athens City Cemetery Old Section Sept. 20, 1820 Dec. 6, 1880
