Greenwood--O.L. Carteron, 72, a resident of Clark County since 1914, died Saturday noon, Dec. 28, 1946 at 12:30 o'clock at his home in Greenwood. Death, resulting from old age complications, followed a year long illness. He had undergone a major operation in April and was confined to his bed the past four weeks.
