     Private advices from Drs. Henry and Will Carnes, who are in Greewoon,

visits made many friends.
     "Dr. Zachariah Carnes died at his death and who will sympathize with Drs. 
will and Henry Carnes.
     The Indianapolis Star of Tuesday printed an excellent picture of Dr. 
Carnes, saying:
    "Dr. Zachariah Carnes died at his home in Greenwood early yesterday 
morning. He was past seventy years old and was among the oldest medical 
practitioners of Johnson county, and a few years ago was president of the 
medical society of that county. He was also a member of the State Medical 
Society.
     "He was born in Hardin county, Kentucky, within a few miles of Lincoln's 
birthplace, and was living there at the beginning of the civil war. He enlisted 
in a Kentucky regiment and served until the close of the war. After that he 
took up the study of medicine and was graduated withhigh honors from the 
Louisville Medical College.
     "In 1877 he removed to Greenwood and continued to live there until his 
death. He was always active in local affairs, having served as school trustee 
for many years, and for more than twenty years was the local surgeon of the 
Pennsylvania Railroad. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and of 
the Greenwood Masonic order and the Grand Army of the Republic. He was one of 
the founders and trustees of the cemetery in which he will be buried tomorrow 
morning at Greenwood. He was not only prominent in his profession, but was 
noted throughout his community for his practical philanthropy, particularly 
among those who were destitute and ill.
     "He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Eliza Polk Carnes; his two sons, Dr. 
Henry G. Carnes and Dr. Will E. Carnes of Atlanta, Ga., and by his daughter 
Mrs. Theophilus J. Moll, of Indianapolis, besides five grandchildren and 
several brothers and sisters. His sons have arrived from Atlanta to attend the 
funeral."
