He was married about two and a half years ago to Miss Cella (Marcella) Thiry, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Thiry, and apparently had a fine start in life.

The disease had progressed very far before anything was done. Shortly after a medical examination he went to Colorado, alone, to recuperate. Not improving, his wife joined him and a few months after, they started home with a prairie schooner, arriving early last fall. Afdter a months's stay they set out with their covered wagon for the gulf states. They reached Alabama some weeks since and were journeying to Thomasville, GA when Carey becaem much worse and they went into Mobile. In their travels they had journeyed over 2,000 miles.

The funeral services are to be held at the Congregational Church at 3:30 p. m. today, conducted by Rev. W. W. Rose. The remains wil be interred in Evergreen cemetery.
