CARTER, WILLIAM LEE
(28 Jul 1927, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
William Lee Carter was born in Lampasas county, Texas, March 17, 1887, and
died at his home July 20, 1927, age 40 years, 4 months and 13 days.  His
father and step-mother, two brothers Luther and Ike and two sisters, Miss
Iva and Mrs. Marvin Hill and one little niece Marveen, are left to mourn
his death.  His own dear mother died when he was a small child.
He was stricken with stomach trouble a year ago, which was later
pronounced a cancer.  Everything was done that the skill of physicians or
the sympathy and sacrifice of loved ones and friends could suggest or
devise.
Funeral services were held at the home, Rev. Fox of Sweetwater speaking
words of comfort to the bereaved relatives and friends.  In the death of
William Carter the Rose Hill community has lost a good man.  He was
industrious, honest and faithful.  He was so kind and tender to his
step-mother.  He told his friends that she had always been so good and
kind to him.  He had the love and respect of his neighbors, as was shown
by the large number who called daily at the home during his illness, and
who attended the funeral services.
Interment was made in the Cheyenne Cemetery.
