Carter, Frank Burdette – While agriculture has given employment to the 
energies and brains of men since the beginning of the world, it is only within 
recent years that the farmer has been accorded his proper place among the 
workers of importance, and science and governmental power have been employed 
to give him assistance.  The modern farmer conducts his business much more 
expeditiously and profitably than did his forefathers and in consequence is 
able to enjoy many comforts that were utterly out of the reach of people in 
the rural districts a few years ago.  One of the representatives of this great 
and important class of workers in Grundy County is Frank Burdette Carter, who 
belongs to the well known Carter family written up at length elsewhere in this 
volume.  Mr. Carter is the owner of eighty acres of valuable farming land in 
Mazon Township, on which he raises corn and oats.  He was born in this 
township where his people have played an important part, in 1867, and here 
received his educational training in the public schools.  Having been reared 
to farm life, he naturally adopted agriculture as his vocation, and has a very 
well improved farm in which he takes a justifiable pride.

In 1891 Mr. Carter married Mary A. Shields, born in England, who was brought 
to Grundy County, Ill., by her parents when she was twelve years old.  Mr. and 
Mrs. Carter are the parents of four children:  Dora Frances Reader; Maud; 
Willie, who died at the age of three years; and Russel.  Mr. Carter with his 
family belongs to the Methodist Church, and is active in its good work.  He is 
a member of the Knights of Pythias and Court of Honor, both of Mazon.  A 
Democrat in politics, for the past twelve years he has served a school 
director and is a man of importance in his community where he is so well and 
favorably known.
