Mr. Carter lived to a ripe old age. He was a case where it can be truly said that the springs of life had dried up of age. Mr. Carter was an old resident of Adams county, having settled here in 1853. An industrious, honest man, wishing well to everybody and looking carefully to his own interests, everybody in the neighborhood had come to feel toward "Uncle Carter" that sentiment of mingled respect and affection which always drew from thema kind word whenever they met him. Mr. Carter leaves a widow and a large family of grown-up sons.
