Obituary. MISS ANN CARR. On Monday, at Glen Violet, the residence of Mr. O. H. Potts, Badger Creek, occurred the death of a well known and highly respected citizen in the person of Miss Ann Carr, at the age of 80 years. Originally a resident of Frankston, where her works of charity and mercy are household words, about ten years ago she took up her abode with Mrs. Potts, who, with herself, were the only remaining members of a family of seven. Miss Carr was born near Manchester, England, and came to Australia in 1854 with her parents, the late John and Mary Carr, of "Mornington Park," Frankston. She was a devoted member of the Methodist Church, and practically her whole life was given to the service of the church. She was keenly interested in mission work, and by her own effort she annually raised a substantial sum for the support of the cause. For upwards of 60 years she taught in the Sunday school. She was a potent factor in the fight for prohibition. On taking up residence at Badger Creek, although enfeebled by advancing years, she resumed her activities. Miss Carr was exceptionally: talented and was successful on several occasions in the South street competitions with essays. At the time of the South African war she composed a poem which was officially adopted by the authorities and set to music. Under the pen name of "Epaeris" she is widely known as a poetess of repute. About six months ago she was compelled to take to her bed, and never recovered her strength sufficiently to leave it. She was treated by Dr W. K . Bowton, who as late as Saturday last visited her. Her presence will be missed by a large circle of friends, and her place will be hard to fill. She is deeply mourned, and general sympathy is extended to Mrs. Potts.
