Mr. Leonard T. Carter, The funeral Sunday afternoon of Mr. Leonard T. Carter, 
who died Friday morning after a prolonged illness was under the auspices of the 
Odd Fellows and was largely attended. The deceased leaves a wife and three 
small children, who have much sympathy in their loss. (Cedartown Standard, 
Thursday, April 17, 1919) 

Leonard Carter, Odd Fellow Resolutions., It behooves us as a member of a great 
fraternal order, built upon the divine doctrine of the Fatherhood of God and 
the Brotherhood of Man, to turn aside from the regular routine of our duties, 
and let our thoughts dwell for a while upon those of our brothers who formerly 
met with us, but have passed over the river and are now resting in the shade of 
the trees. On the 11th day of April, 1919, our dear Bro. Leonard Carter ceased 
his earthly labors and answered the summons of the great "Noble Grand" of the 
Universe to "come up higher." Brother Carter was a loyal Odd Fellow true to all 
the teachings of friendship, truth and love so deeply imbedded in the basic 
principles of our Order. He was always ready, with heart and hand, to respond 
to any call of a brother in distress, or to the needs of the Order which he 
loved. He was a kind father, a loving devoted husband, a true friend, and 
upright law abiding citizen, and a genuine Christian gentleman. We are sadden 
by his going away. We shall miss him around our alter in the Lodge room, and 
will always cherish his memory; therefore, Resolved, that as Odd Fellows we 
tender to the bereaved family of our deceased brother our deepest sympathy in 
this hour of great distress, and pray that He who "tempers the wind to the 
shorn lamb, and doeth all things well," may comfort and support then in this 
dark hour, and lead them into the blessed light of His eternal love. Resolved, 
that a copy of these resolutions be spread upon our minutes and a copy sent to 
the bereaved family. H. T. Phillips, T. W. Schliestett, J. C. Langford, Com;.
