     John William "Jack" Carr Jr. was buried at Head of the River Cemetery (also known as Salem Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery), Rt. 221, Check, Floyd Co., Virginia.7,8 He was born on June 10, 1865 at Floyd Co., Virginia.3,7,8 He married Mary Catherine Wilson, daughter of Laban D. Wilson and Elzira C. "Eliza" Conner, on November 24, 1888 at Floyd Co., Virginia.3,9 John William "Jack" Carr Jr. died on March 16, 1906 at Floyd Co., Virginia, at age 40.7,8 He On Sunday morning, at a lonely spot by the roadside on the top of the Blue Ridge mountains in Floyd county, the charred remains of Jack Carr, a well-to-do farmer, were discovered by Morgan Wimmer and John Stump, two farmers residing in the vicinity. The dead body was about one-quarter of a mile from the nearest farm house and had been dead several hours when found. Near the body was a huge dry chestnut stump fifteen feet in height, which was burning. Every stitch of clothing except the toe of one sock, including a pair of gum boots, had been burned off the body, and the flesh on the removal of the body sloughed off from the bones. The flesh on the legs had been burned off, leaving the bones bare. The remains were buried Tuesday afternoon in the old Carr burial grounds, near Copper Hill, after a coroner's jury had rendered a verdict that death was due to burning while in a drunken stupor. It seems that Carr had gone to Shockey's distillery on Saturday afternoon, where he got very drunk. He left Shockey's about nightfall and proceeded nearly a mile, when he fell by the roadside. About 10 o'clock that night he was discovered by Wimmer and Stump. He was unable to walk and was nearly frozen. They built him a fire at the roots of the dead chestnut and left him sleeping off the effects of his drunk. The flames crept up the trunk of the tree and it is supposed that the fire fell on the sleeping man, igniting his clothing. He struggled and rolled around over a space some thirty feet in diameter about the burning tree. His watch was found twenty feet away from the body and his suspender buckles a like distance in another direction. Carr was well known here, as he had been a constant attendant at the city market, bringing his farm produce here for many years. He was a brother of "Button" Carr, and leaves a wife and several children. on March 22, 1906.10
