Carroll Joy
Carroll Joy was born in Keokuk, Feb
15, 1899, and spent all of his life there, until he went to Annapolis in
1917. He traveled in Europe for one year with his sister, and Miss
Bertha Craig as his tutor. His high school career was a splendid
one. He was popular with both students and faculty because of his ready
smile and courteous ways.
Carroll received an appointment to Annapolis in the spring of
1917, and left his graduating class before Commencement to fill it.
Besides the regular training at the naval academy he was on two cruises.
During the war he saw service with the Atlantic fleet, and in the summer of 1919
he was in Panama.
Carroll died Jan 1, 1920, from the effects of a bullet wound
accidentally inflicted by a classmate, while target practicing in the woods near
Annapolis, Dec 31, 1919.
