Death of Mr Arthur William Carr
                 ____
  We regret to announce the death
of Mr Arthur William Carr, youngest son of
the late Mr Thomas William Carr, journalist
and Librarian, Trinidad Public Library.
Mr Arthur Carr, who had a very large circle
of friends and acquaintances, was well known
as a planter of Caparo, where, with his two
brothers, Messrs Albert and Reginald, he
was one of the pioneers to open up the
district. He owned a large country business
at Talparo. He was a most indefatigable
hunter and a great supporter and player
of cricket in Caparo, Chaguanas and
ne[i]ghbourhood. Every one who knew
him (and who did not know him?)
loved "Artie" Carr as the most unselfish of
men and one who was never more pleased
than when ministering to the pleasure and
comfort of others. No hunting party was
complete without "Artie" and his acquain-
tance with the woods and the ways of their
wild denizens was unequalled. He had been
in bad health for some time but his great
strength kept him going. About three weeks
ago he became seriously ill and on Novem-
ber 28 he entered the Colonial Hospital as a
private patient. His case was diagnosed as
one of spinal disease. His death has been
expected momently for days past, but his
magnificent strength kept him up until yester-
day morning. "Artie Carr will be sincerely
mourned by many as a right down good
fellow, a thorough sportsman and one of
Nature's own gentlemen.
  The funeral took place yesterday after-
noon from the Colonial Hospital to All Saints'
Church whence, after the funeral service had
been conducted by the Rev A B East-
gate, M.A., the cortege removed on to
Lapeyrouse Cemetery, where the remains
were interred, after the concluding portion
of the funeral ceremony had been recited by
the Rev A B Eastgate.
  The bearers were: Mr J L Driggs, Dr
Seon, Messrs R R Mole, F W Urich, G
Prince and E Gransaull. The chief
mourners were the Messrs A B and T R Carr,
brothers of the deceased.
  Among those who followed were: Messrs
Hy Adams, E Caines, R W Gordon, C
Croney, J F de Souza, A Schoener, J F
A'mandoz, E F Richards, T O'Brien, E
Lafond, H Ghent, A Boissiere, A Campbell,
Wm Gittens, A W Lake, Dr Lindsey, Walter
Mills, F Farrell, L B Thomas, H Graham,
Misses Graham (2) Messrs L Klages, Hugh
Boissiere, Arthur Hamlyn, the staff of Mr
Carr's business houses at Caparo and
Talparo, Misses Lee (2) and many others.
  A large number of peasant proprietors and
cocoa contractors, inclusive of a few East
Indians, from Caparo and surrounding dis-
tricts were in attendance, testifying to the
esteem in which he was held by them.
Among the sorrowing friends who sent
wreaths and other floral tributes were: The
Trinidad Cocoa Planters' Association, the
staff of L Schoener & Co., Mrs Philip John,
the Misses Graham. The grave was covered
with these tributes.
  Mr Carr wishes to say how highly gratified
he and his family were with the treatment
his brother received from the staff at the
hospital - the doctors, nurses and attendants.
They spared no pains to make his brother's
suffering and his end as easy as possible.
