Mrs. M. A. Carter Dead
  Mrs. M. A. Carter died at her home near Brownwood on Wednesday, March
24th, in the 89th year of her age. Her death was caused by a general break-
down, on account of old age.
  Her funeral occurred from her house, the services being conducted by Rev.
T. H. Burrus, after which, the body was interred in the family burial lot
near the home, where only a few days before, her sister, Mrs. L. L. Perry,
had been laid to rest.
  Mrs. Carter was a member of the Shoal Creek Primitive Baptist Church, of
Newton County, and was a most zealous Christian. All her long life was spent
within a few miles of where she was born. Her maiden name was Mary Ann
Davis, and she was a daughter of Grant Davis, once a highly influential and 
prominent citizen of Morgan County. She was the mother of eight children,
and five survive her; Miss Laura E. Carter, Mrs. M. A. Atkinson, W. E.
Carter, of Rochelle, M. A. Carter, of Siloam, and J. T. Carter, of this city.
  The deceased was an old time Southern lady, full of good and kindly deeds.
Her life's work is ended and she has entered upon that reward which the 
Lord has promised to those who believe in him.
  To the bereaved relatives we extend our deepest sympathies.
