Notes for EDGAR ALLEN CARAWAY:
Notes from Sharon Ivy
Transcribed from the Goldthwaite Eagle-Mullin Enterprise, Dated August 3, 1951, front page, microfilm reel 687 B located at the Mills County Courthouse, Goldthwaite, Texas by Sharon Ivy (Article includes picture of Shorty Caraway however, the copy I have is a reverse image, black background with white letters and will not copy).

EDGAR ALLEN 'SHORTY' CARAWAY IS FINALLY AT END OF THE LONG TRAIL

Edgar Allen "Shorty" Caraway, who was born at Caradan and who became a fabulous figure throughout the South West reached the end of the trail as he would have wanted to have had it written this week when, on Tuesday, his stirrups hung empty at the Goldthwaite Memorial Cemetery.

"Shorty", a brother of Mrs. R.L. "Bob" Cockrum of Goldthwaite, died at eleven o'clock last Sunday morning at this home in Lawton, OK, to which he had retired from the range but to which he never became quite reconciled because of his love for the wild, open spaces.

Funeral services for "Shorty" Caraway were conducted at three o'clock on Tuesday afternoon of this week at the First Baptist Church in Goldthwaite with the Rev. J.T. Ayers, pastor offic iating. Interment was in the Goldthwaite Memorial Cemetery, with arrangements by the Fairman-Wilkins Funeral Home of Goldthwaite.

Masonic burial rites were conducted at the cemetery.

"Shorty" was a son of the late S.L. and Lou Caraway. He was the second of nine children in his family.

Most of his life was spent by by Shorty on ranches in Arizona. Sometimes he came home. Mrs. Bob Cockrum recalls that the first time Shorty went away, he stayed away for 18 years. He sent home an interview last yeear when he told the Eagle that Lawton, OK never could take the place of the range. At 15 years of age, in 1900 Shorty left home because Mills County did not leave room enough for a man who wanted to be a real cowpoke.

An account of Shorty's passing from the Fairman Wilkins Funeral Home containted the following :

He became widely known in the range country and he built throughout the years a host of friends who came to seek his advice and counsel in times of trouble. Edgar Caraway is referred to by name and also by the nickname of Shorty in many of Ross Santee stories of cowboy life on the open range. He developed a philosophy of life peculiar to those who live in the open-in that all Creation is good and that the brotherhood of mankind is a natural and righteous gift to be carried throughout all his life the ideas of his parents and honest and right living is (could be man's or God's) highest calling. He died as he lived a student of nature and a man of fellowship _ _____ men.

Late in life on June 30, 1932 Shorty was married to Miss Dora Delk, a native of Kentucky. She survives as does their son, Allen E. Caraway, now is with the Armed Forces in Japan.

Other surviving relatives in addition to Mrs. Bob Cockrum of Goldthwaite are Shorty's sisters - Mrs. Garfield Ball of Odessa, Mrs. Nell Mayo of Brownwod, Mrs. Paul Pinkston of Ft. Worth, Mrs. R.L. Fortune of Brownwood, and Mrs. Lois Dewbre of Austin. Two brothers, Guy Caraway of Beeville and Granville Caraway of Ft. Worth also survive.

Shorty Caraway's last visit to Mills County was in late 1949 when he visited Mrs. R.L. Cockrum and other relatives and friends in Mills and Brown Counties.

Every time he came home Shorty had some tall tales to tell of his experiences. He was well k nown and colorful figure at famous rodeos, in which he won many purses and prizes. In the years between his departure from Mills County and his death in hospital at Lawton just a few days ago, Shorty Caraway became a fabulous figure.
