He was born in Lawrence County on December 29, 1930 the son of Isaac Carl and Juanita (Allen) Felton, Sr. Following graduation from high school, he became a sergeant with the U.S. Air Force and was a veteran of the Korean War.
Carl was an accomplished and talented stone carver, working in the limestone industry throughout the country. Naturally, he worked with various stone mills in the area. Most importantly though, Carl loved and enjoyed providing for his family. He delighted in pulling the grandchildren around the yard in the wagon he made for them, to garden and be outdoors, perhaps fishing or mushroom hunting. He, along with his wife Dorothy enjoyed the many flea markets and auctions they would go to looking for that special “treasure”.
Survivors include four children; Rita (husband Steve) Norris of Pawnee, IL, Bruce E. (wife Jeannie) Felton of Austin, TX, Julie (husband Ed) Smith of Liberty Hill, TX and Jill Hunt of Bedford, eleven grandchildren and four great, grandchildren, and by one sister, Carol Todd of Bedford. He is also survived by his beloved dogs, Holly and Maggie, his faithful companions following the death of his wife.
