Obituary	ERNEST E. CARR Sudden Death of Dexter Man in New York City News reached Dexter Saturday of the sudden death of Ernest E. Carr, a native of Dexter, who was retired a year ago by the United States Navy, after 25 years' service as master machinist. Mr. Carr was in Dexter one evening last week visiting his brother, Samuel E. Moore. He had been making his headquarters for several weeks at the Penobscot Exchange in Bangor, and making short trips to Dexter to see his relatives. At the time of his passing he was at the 44th Street Hotel in New York City and expected to leave Saturday for Brownsville, Texas, to spend the winter. Friday night he was ill and called a physician. In the morning he was found dead in his bed, having died alone in the night. The remains arrived in Dexter Monday and were taken to the funeral parlors of Ramsay & Gates until Tuesday forenoon, when the funeral services were held at 10 o'clock at the First Universalist church. Rev. William J. Metz officiating. Ernest E. Carr was born in Dexter 63 years ago, the son of the late Richard and Elizabeth Carr. He learned his trade as a machinist with the late John B. Haskell of the Dexter Machine Co., which later was purchased by a company in Amsterdam, N. Y., and Mr. Carr went there to work for them. Later he came back to Dexter and worked for the Dexter Tool Co., and then for Fay & Scott for a short time. From Dexter he went to Bath and was employed at the Bath Iron Works and the Knickerbocker Steam Towage Co. In 1904 he took an examination with other machinists for a government position and he received an appointment to go to Panama to work on the Canal. After serving there for a year he was transferred to the Navy yard at Pensacola, Fla., where he stayed from 1905 to 1908. Then Mr. Carr was transferred to Cavite, the Naval Station in the Philippine Islands, where he stayed from 1910 to his retirement in 1932. After living so long in the extremely warm climate of the Philippines, he found he could not endure a winter in New England so he spent his first winter of leisure in Texas and expected to return there for the coming winter. Mr. Carr was a 32nd degree Mason, and retained his membership with Penobscot Lodge and St. John's Chapter of Dexter. Besides his brother, Samuel E. Moore, already mentioned, he is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Ellen Hayes and Mrs. Sarah Cobb, both of Dexter, besides several nephews and nieces.
