Jackson County: Altus News
Altus Times
May 16, 1907
Daniel CARMICHAEL of Dunbar, familiarly known as "Grandpa" Carmichael,
died Saturday afternoon at 2:o'clock at the home of his son, five and one-half
miles northeast of Altus, with whom he had been making his home.
Several months ago, while walking on the streets of Altus with Judge ORR,
a board in a defective sidewalk flew up and Mr. Carmichael fell, receiving
injuries which it is believed finally caused his death. He was 75 years old
and a pioneer settler of Greer County.
The remains were interred in the city cemetary, Saturday at 4:30 p.m. Rev.
WALKER of Martha officiating.
