The Lake Odessa Wave, Thursday, August 13, 1931
After a lingering illness that has made Robert Carter an invalid for the past 
two years and that was beyond all medical skill, the patient sufferer passed 
away at his home last Thursday.  Mr. Carter’s life was a comfort to his 
family, and added respect to the communities in which he lived.  

The funeral was held at the home Sunday afternoon, Rev. O. F. Bulman preached 
from the theme, “The Proofs of a Future life.”  Mr. and Mrs. Goodemoot sang 
two numbers.  Burial was at Lakeside cemetery.

Robert H. Carter was born in Manlius township, New York state August 21, 1870, 
and departed this life at his home August 6, 1931 at the age of 60 years, 11 
months and 15 days.  At the age of four years he moved with his parents to 
Nashville, Mich. and from there to Berlin township. 

On January 1, 1895 he was united in marriage to Della Mae Shellman.  To this 
union four children were born, Willard, Mrs. George Bever and Clarence of Lake 
Odessa, and Mrs. Calvin Smith of Hastings.

He lived on his farm in Odessa township until about twelve years ago when he 
purchased his home in Lake Odessa.  Mr. Carter was a kind and loving husband, 
father and grandfather, a devoted friend and neighbor, always willing to help 
others and was respected by all who knew him.

He leaves to mourn their loss his beloved wife and children, a sister, Mrs. 
John Palmer of Grand Rapids and a brother, Roy of Galien, Mich., besides many 
relatives and friends.

A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved in stilled,
A place is vacant in our hearts,
Which never can be filled.

Card of Thanks:

We hereby wish to express our sincere and heartfelt thanks to relatives, 
neighbors and friends for the kindness and sympathy shown during our recent 
bereavement, the death of our beloved husband, father and grandfather.  
Especially do we wish to thank Rev. Bulman for his words of comfort, Mr. and 
Mrs. Goodemoot for their singing, also for the beautiful floral offerings and 
those who so kindly loaned their cars.

Mrs. Della Carter and children.
