Carl and Madelyn Fleming

Fleming, Carl Washington Sr. (1901-1972)

Fleming, Madelyn Katheryn (Long) (1911-2009)

Carl Washington Fleming and his wife, Madelyn (Long) Fleming shown standing together in front of a porch.

Carl was the son of George W. and Bertie A. (Hawkins) Fleming. Madelyn was the daughter of Frank A. and Margaret G. Long.

They married in 1928 in Woodstock and lived for most of their married lives in rural Mt. Jackson, where Carl farmed. Together, they had three children: Carl Washington, Jr., Thomas “Tom” R. and Helen L. Fleming.

Tragically, Carl died as the result of a farm accident. He got caught in a pulley and was run over by a tractor. It severed his spinal cord and broke bones. His wife survived him by more than three decades. They are buried together in Mt. Jackson.
