Word was received in Ionia Tuesday of the death of Frank Carten at Tucson, 
Arizona.  He died Monday after being a resident there in recent years, moving 
there for the benefit of his health.  His death occurred Monday.  He was 
formerly associated with his brother, Thomas A. Carten, in an Ionia dry goods 
store.  After the business was dissolved he was employed by the Ypsilanti Reed 
Furniture Factory for some time.

Mr. Carten was confined in a Tucson hospital as a result of an automobile 
accident about a year ago.  He had been in Arizona about two years.  He is 
survived by his daughter, Esther, who was living with him in Arizona and one 
sister, Mrs. Katherine Wacha of Orleans.  Mr. Carten came to Ionia when he was 
17 years of age.  He was born in 1874 at Canonsburg.  He was a graduate of 
Belding High school.  For many years he worked at Carten’s Department store in 
Ionia for his uncle, T. A. Carten, and later opened his own store where he 
sold wall paper and paints. 

He was married to Esther Gavin of Grand Rapids who died 40 years ago.  Later 
he was married to Esther Brooks who died a number of years ago.  The body will
