"Rev. Alfred Ewing Carnahan was born Dec. 12, 1859, at Cane Hill. He was the son of Jacob Preston and Susan Amelia (Crawford) Carnahan. His father was candidate for Governor of Arkansas in 1892, being defeated by Wm. Fishback. His grandfather, John Carnahan, preached the first Protestant sermon in the state of Arkansas.
"Rev. Alfred Carnahan received his early education at Cane Hill College, one of the first institutions of its kind in the state. He then taught school at Bellefonte and other places in Arkansas, also at Southwest City, Mo. He then began the study of law in Lebanon, Tenn., but gave it up and entered the ministry, graduating from the Theological Seminary in 1892. He then accepted a call to the Mt. Gilead Presbyterian Church at Mt. Sterling, Ky. He was married to Miss Maggie Hainline of that place Sept. 12, 1893. In November he received a call to Union, Neb. January 1894 they returned to Arkansas where a daughter Susan Melia was born at Cane Hill. In March 1895 they returned to Mt. Gilead, Ky., where they remained until August 1907. They went to Cameron, Mo., and the following year returned to Arkansas where he had charge of Cane Hill and Prairie Grove churches. He was called to the Pea Ridge church in 1916 and was there at the time of his death. He resigned his pastorate at Pea Ridge on the first Sunday of April 1930, just six weeks before his death on May 17, 1930. When the Cumberland Church united with the Presbyterian Church USA, he went into the USA Church.
"Rev. Carnahan had a wonderful mind and was a great reader and thinker. He was well posted on current events. He was broad-minded and kind. He adapted himself to the people he lived among, thereby making lasting friends among both saints and sinners. He had a welcome smile and hearty handshake for all he met. He tried to practice his religion. He lived so clean and close to his God that his very presence was a rebuke to the wayward." -- The Pyeatts and the Carnahans of Old Cane Hill, by Rev. Alfred E Carnahan and Susan Carnahan Cruse, page 29.
