Jackson Argus – Butts County, Week of August 7, 1898
Dr. G. H. Carter Dies
Friday, August 12, 1898

A brief message from Mrs. G. H. Carter to Mr. F. S. Etheridge, dated at 
Greenville, S. C., August 10, announcing the death of Dr. Carter was one of the 
saddest shocks ever felt in Jackson.

Dr. Carter was pastor of the Baptist church here and left with his family on 
Monday  6 o’clock p.m. to spend his summer vacation with relatives at his old 
home in Greenville, S.C.  He had been complaining with indigestion for some 
time but no serious apprehensions were felt by his physician or his friends and 
it was believed that he only needed a well earned rest.  It is not a mistake to 
call the announcement of his death a sad shock to Jackson.

Dr. Carter was one of the most actively useful men we have ever known.  He was 
well educated, full of energy and all his faculties’ consecrated to God and the 
best interests of all our people.  HE was loved by our people regardless of 
church affiliations  and they feel that his death is a loss to them irreparable.

This community is not now prepared for an eulogy on one who was so well known 
and so dear to it.  It is an occasion when a sad dispensation of Providence 
renders words helpless and almost meaningless.

One of Gods’ noblest and most faithful servants has been called suddenly to his 
reward, and the churches here, together with all our best interests feel most 
sensibly their great loss.
