THE FLAGLER TRIBUNE
Bunnell, Florida
Thursday, December 22, 1932
Carl S. Carlton, 53, brother of Gov. Doyle E. Carlton, was killed in the Everglades while on a hunting trip.
Members of the party telephoned the news of his death to relatives at Wauchula from Immokalee.
They said his brother, Alton Carlton, shot at a deer and one of the buckshot ricocheted off a cypress tree and penetrated his brain. John B. Rooney, Hardee County School Superintendent also was a member of the party.
Mr. Carlton was a native of Hardee county and for many years was cashier of the Carlton National Bank at Wauchula. He had a large grove and farm interests in Hardee County.
The funeral will probably be held Friday at Wauchula.
