CARTER, MINNIE
(27 May 1926, Elk City News Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Mrs. Minnie Eggers Carter, wife of P. M. Carter died at her home on West
Fifth street Tuesday afternoon, May 25th.  She had been in declining
health for many months, having spent almost a year in the Southern Baptist
Sanatorium in El Paso, Texas.  About two months ago she returned to her
home in Elk City, apparently much improved, but soon contracted influenza
and pneumonia, which rapidly took her away.
Mrs. Carter was a most estimable christian woman, and her death is a
distinct loss, not only to her family and friends, but also to the First
Baptist church, of which she was a devout member.
She was born near McKinney, Texas, August 3, 1897.  When 16 years of age
she was united with the Baptist church and throughout her life she was
born ample testimony to her faith in Christ.  She was married to P. M.
Carter March 26, 1916.  She leaves her husband, three children, ages nine,
seven and four years, her father and mother, one brother and a small
sister, besides a host of sorrowing relatives and friends.
The funeral was conducted from the First Baptist church, the pastor Rev.
L. D. Mitchell, officiating.
The rostrum was profusely decorated with beautiful floral offering from
many friends, and the church was filled with people of the city and
surrounding community, who came to attest their love and friendship to
Mrs. Carter and her loves ones.
CARD OF THANKS.
We take this method of expressing our thanks and appreciations to our many
friends and neighbors for the assistance, words of kindness and the floral
offering during the sickness and death of our beloved wife, daughter and
mother, Mrs. P. M. Carter.
P. M. Carter,
Frank Carter,
Ivan Carter,
Clyde Carter,
Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Eggers and family.
