the way that posted, it might not be clear that the obituary ended and my personal observations began as noted below..

Carter Family standards include country music classics such as "The Wabash Cannonball" and "Wildwood Flower." The three sisters continued the family act in the 1940s with their mother, who died in 1978. ---------------------------------------------------------- It is always sad to see another piece of history pass on.The Carter Family played such a large part in the development of 'country' music and have become synonymous with certain songs and styles.
