POSTMASTER NALL TAKEN BY DEATH
Carl R. Nall, 68, Sherman postmaster since 1933 and druggist for many years previous, died early Monday at his home, 720 West Washington. He had been seriously ill for several weeks. Funeral services were held at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday at the First Presbyterian Church, conducted by the pastor, the Rev. Jack Goodykoontz, assisted by Dr. J.A. Ellis, the Rev. Edward R. Barcus and the Rev. Robert L. Badgett. Interment was in West Hill cemetery, directed by Dannel Funeral Home.
Identified with Sherman business and civic life since early youth, past president of the Club and of the Texas Postmasters Association, Mr. Nall once said "From the very beginning Sherman has been more than kind to me. No man ever becomes more than his fellows make him. Whatever measure of attainment life may bring me is because I have met and known and have been the fortunate possessor of the friendship of Sherman citizens."
Mr. Nall was born in West, Mississippi on May 4, 1879, a son of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Nall. His parents died when he was a small child and he was brought up in the home of his grandparents and later in that of an uncle, Judge W.D. Campbell of Greenwood, Arkansas. When he was 14 years old, Mr. Nall came to Sherman to make his home with a brother, the late Dr. R.B. Nall.

WORKED IN DRUG STORE
While the young Mississippian attended Sherman public schools, he worked at Bitting Drug Co., for two years and later with Lankford and Batsell druggists. He was in the employ of this firm when he passed the Texas Pharmaceutical Board Examination in 1900. In 1907, Mr. Nall became a member of the firm and the name was changed to Lankford, Keith and Nall. Three years later he sold his interest to the late P.C. Keith and established the Nall Drug Co. He operated this store until 1933, when on his appointment as postmaster, he sold the business to William Keith, son of his former partner.
On Jan. 1, 1907 Mr. Nall married Miss Myrtle Lollar of Whitesboro. She and their two sons, Carl Nall, Jr., and Rayburn Nall survive him. Other survivors are a sister, Mrs. O.H. Hargett of Amarillo and a granddaughter Neysa Jeane Nall.  
APPOINTED BY FARLEY
Mr. Nall succeeded E.N. Mulkey as Sherman Postmaster, receiving his appointment from Postmaster General James A. Farley. He had been active in the state and national associations of postmasters and in 1940 was elected president of the state body, serving two years.
A member of the First Presbyterian Church, Mr. Nall had held several church offices and committee chairmanships. He was a charter member of Sherman Rotary Club, a former director of Sherman Chamber of Commerce and the Merchants and Planters National Bank.
Pall bearers were Kyle Stone, John Beam, Costa Morrow, Harry Hudgins, Judge R.C. Slagle Jr., Frank Trau, all of Sherman; Tom Ryburn of Bonham and Arthur McElreath of Fort Worth.
All Sherman drug stores were closed from 3:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Tuesday in respect to Mr. Nall who was once a member of the drug profession. The body was taken to the church at 2 p.m. where it remained until the funeral.
