             Age of 89

Andrew M. Carter, for many years a well known resident of 
Fulton County, died at 8:30 o'clock this morning at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. Robert Williams, 912 East Olive Street,

years ago.  He was twice married, his second wife having died
about three years ago. Her maiden name was Martha Ruark, and 
their marriage was solemnized in Lewistown forty-eight years
ago. For many years the family lived near Breeds, and decedent
had been a resident of Canton about seven years at the time 
of his death.

Surviving children by the second marriage are Andrew J. Carter
of Aurora, division superintendent of the Aurora division of
the Burlington Railroad, and formerly chief of police in Canton
and operator previously in local railroad stations. Mrs. Robert
Williams, James Carter, and Mrs. Allie Lewis of Canton, and 
W. H. Carter and Frank Carter of Wyoming.  One son by this 
marriage is dead.

Children by a former marrieage are Mrs. Lincoln Hews of 
Boonesville, MO: Mrs. James Barlow of Red Cloud, Neb; and Mrs.
Frank Kyle of Eden, IL. 

Mr. Carter was a member of Christian church and a citizen 
esteemed by a wide circle of friends who will regret to learn
that his long and useful life is ended.

Arrangements for the funeral await the arrival of relatives
at a distance.
