Death of Mrs. Edmund W. Carter

The death of Mrs. Edmund W. Carter at her home in Prattsburg last week, has 
caused a gloom to spread over that community.  She was only 21 years of age and 
had been married but a few months.  The Augusta Herald of Tuesday last says:

Intelligence has been received in this city of the death of Mrs. Edmund W. 
Carter, formerly Miss Christine Kelly, which occurred at Prattsburg, Ga. at 12 
o’clock last night.  The deceased was 21 years of age and was the daughter of 
Mr. and Mrs. S.R. Kelly of this city.

The news of her untimely death within six months of her marriage and in the 
prime of life, ---sed genuine sorrow throughout the city.  She was reared in 
Augusta and was one of the most lovable and popular ladies in her community.  
Last January, she was married to Dr. E.W. Carter, who is a graduate of the -----
-- medical college.

She was a consistent member of the First Presbyterian Church and her funeral 
will probably occur from that church.

She is survived by her husband, parents, three brothers, and ---- sisters.

Death of Mrs. Edmund Carter

Our community is again draped in deep sorrow over the untimely death of Mrs. 
Christene Carter.  She was one of those grand characters whom to know was to 
love her.  To make it so sad, she had just reached the age of womanhood, and a 
bride of six months.  There must have been something beautifully magnetic, a 
grand life, a rich character, that in so short a time to so magnificently 
impress her many friends, touching the tender tendrils of love and friendship 
which multiplied her beautiful growth each day. We will sadly miss her at our 
homes, our social meetings, our church, Sunday school and Women’s Missionary 
League.

How sad to think there will be no more homecoming, homegreeting; a vacant chair 
around the fireside – one more empty seat in church.  Her name is recorded in 
our church book, her life work to God; her name is now written on pages bright 
and fair; her spirit sweetly resting in the arms of Jesus.

She was reared in Augusta, Ga., where she was laid to rest and Prattsburg, in 
common with her native home, met at the tomb of this dear, sweet friend, 
shedding tears of sorrow and to say goodbye but not forever, for we have that 
promise and a happy recognition and greeting beyond this life to those who are 
faithful and true, where there is no pain, no sorrowing, no separation.

We extend to her sorrowing husband and relatives our deepest sympathy, pointing 
to the Great Physician who can heal our sorrows and give us peace.

A Friend
