| Obituary |
Mar 1960 [3] |
Jay L. Carswell was born March 2, 1895 in Rosemont, Nebraska and passed away at Asbury Hospital in Salina, Kansas on March 22, 1960 at the age of 65 years and 20 days. He was one of a family of six brothers and four sisters whose parents were David Will and Pearl Carswell. He grew to manhood in the close-knit association of this large family, and these family ties grew stronger through the years, and through the suceeding generations, always maintaining a beautiful relationship in times of joy and sorrow.
In 1905 he moved to Kansas with his parents where they resided on a farm southwest of Alton. On April 14, 1918 he was united in marriage with Jennie May Paynter. After serving in World War I they established their home on a farm four miles northwest of Alton. To this union six children were born--Dean, who preceeded him in death; Eileen, Harold, Bill, Deryl, and Gayle.
Six years ago Jay and Jennie retired from active farm duties and moved into Alton after building a fine new home here. During his lifetime he was known as a prominent farmer and cattleman, an occupation in which he excelled. He loved his cattle which were to him both a business and a hobby. He has been a member of the American Legion since its conception and has been active in civic affairs for the betterment of the community. He has always been interested and active in church work and was a member of the Alton Methodist Church to which he gave many hours of devoted service. He was a loving husband and father whose greatest concern was for his home and family. During his recent severe illness it was his fervent hope that he would return home to be with his family and friends. His jovial spirit and friendly attitude endeared him to old and young alike. In later years one of his great joys was his grandchildren.
His son, Dean, was stricken by polio in 1930 and passed away on August 19 at the age of 11. He was also preceded in death by his parents, his sister Irma, and two brothers, Vinton and Clyde. He leaves to mourn his passing his devoted wife Jennie; one daughter, Mrs. Virgil Razak of Wichita; four sons; Harold, Bill, and Deryl of Alton and Gayle of Clay Center; one son-in-law, Virgil; three daughters-in-law, Pattie, Jimmie, and Wilda; nine grandchildren; three sisters; Mrs. Essie Smith of Alton; Mrs. Alta Spoon of Temple City, California; and Mrs. Bernice Holthous of Guide Rock, Nebraska; three brothers; Edwin of Quenemo; Paul of Monterey Park, California; and Keith of Houston, Texas. To these are added other relatives and a host of neighbors and friends who are saddened by his death.
