Funeral services for Joe Carmello, 5-year-old, were held at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church.

Deputy Sheriff Miller found the body of the youth in the abandoned ice-box while walking a trail leading through a junk yard. The cause of death was recorded as suffocation.

His mother, Mrs. Cruze Carmello, lives at 1108 Ritchie Avenue. He is also survived by his father, Manuel Carmello, Sr. of California, five sisters and three brothers.

Rev. Patrick O’Farrell officiated at the services Sunday with burial in the Palacios Cemetery.

Mrs. Nellie Carvell Died Christmas Day

(Francitas Correspondent)

Christmas Day dawned clear and bright and everyone in our small town awoke with a feeling that the blessed Spirit of the One whose birthday we revere and love was very close to our hearts. The children seemed to "celebrate" in a more quiet, subdued manner, as they were about their play, for our friend who had been very ill for many months, had spoken: "Jesus come for me at Christmas Time."

When the day was almost over, while the quiet, friendly voices, whispered that she must be near the "crossing," the Death Angel took the hand of Aunt Babe, and she quietly slipped away at 5:30 just as the dusk met the earth at the close of the day. (December 25, 1945)

There was no shock, no commotion, and she, herself, had prepared her family and she was ready and willing, yes, eager, to meet her Savior over there where there's no sorrow, nor pain. She had suffered long and was so tired that it seemed she just laid down her burden and stepped over to the Master on whose broad breast she could find peace and rest.

Mrs. Carvell who was "Aunt Babe" to all of us was born in Tennessee almost 75 years ago. She would have been 75 on May 13, 1946. Her maiden name was Nellie Duncan. At an early age she united with the Free-Will Baptist Church, and a simple child-like faith in the goodness of God and a trust that was beautiful made her life sincere.

She was married to J. B. Carvell, also of Tennessee, at the age of 16 years. To this union were born one son and three daughters. They are Robert C. Carvell, now of Old Ocean, Mrs. Reda Thomas of Bay City, Mesdames Nettie Joines and Mackie Manning of Francitas. At the time of her death she has 14 grandchildren and 5 great-grandchildren.

Her four children and their families were all there when the end came. This good lady was a "Mother in Israel" for many years as she was able to attend the ailing and bring cheer to the down-hearted. She was ready, with willing hand, and her jovial, cherry smile to administer help right here in our midst, and this cheerfulness never left her, even after she had tears mixed with laughter. It was good to feel her warm hand-clasp and hear her hearty greeting. During her long illness she seemed never to long for sympathy. She wished only that her friends love her. A good mother, a staunch friend, a friendly neighbor, so shall we remember Mrs. Nettie Carvell.

Funeral services, conducted by Rev. George Neely, were held at the church. Pall bearers were her three grandsons: John E. Martin, Marvin Joines, Phillip Manning, Jr., and W. R. Joines, Jr., Nathan Linton and Nathan Dahlstrom.

Interment was made in the Palacios Cemetery where her husband was laid away several years ago.

The beautiful floral offering and such a group of friends who gathered at the church bespoke love and esteem more eloquent than words.

To you who grieve, let me say:

"She's not dead, she's just away.
Over yonder where there's no sorrow.
You will meet her in that tomorrow."

Edna Weekly Herald, January 3, 1946
