General Notes: Husband - Cary Bell Paul

---

In his boyish playfulness, he went out of the house, saying that he would “give a Christmas salute.” Soon afterward a loud report was heard, and poor Cary, a few moments before the life and soul of the family circle, cheerful and full of play, was found lying on the ground with his life blood fast flowing from a wound in the neck. He had bored a hole in a log and charged it with powder. The explosion must have been premature-evidently while he was bending over the log-a splinter entered his neck and severed an artery. Tenderly they carried him into the house and laid him on a lounge, but nothing could be done; he died in a few minutes afterward.
