  	John R. Carter Dead John R. Carter, for many years a well-known citizen of Fulton, died Monday morning at 10:00 o'clock at the home of his sister, Mrs. Ellen Grogan, in St. Louis, where he had been for five weeks receiving treatment from a specialist for liver trouble. His body was brought to Fulton Wednesday afternoon and interred in the new cemetery. A short religious service was conducted at the grave by Rev. T. W. Alton, pastor of the Methodist church, and the burial service was conducted by the Odd Fellows. Mr. Carter had been in ill health several months, and when he went to St. Louis he expressed doubt whether the trip would be beneficial. The first two weeks that he was there seemed to mark improvement in his condition, but afterward his decline was gradual. Mr. Carter was born on a farm near Fulton on November 5, 1844. He grew to manhood in the country and married Miss Margaret Fletcher in 1869. Until a few years ago he was engaged in business in Fulton for many years and amassed a comfortable fortune. He is survived by his wife, one son and three daughters. The children are T. Ed Carter, a grocery man of this city: Miss Dorothy Carter, Mrs. E.L. Blackburn and Mrs. D.W. Herring, all of Fulton. He also leaves four sisters namely: Mrs. Ellen Grogan of St. Louis: Mrs. Nannie Todd, of Hallsville: Mrs. Mary Calvert, of Hallsville: and Miss Bettie Carter, of Fulton. Mr. Carter had a large circle of acquaintances and was well liked by those who knew him. He had many excellent qualities and will be greatly missed.

  	John Robert Carter, aged 67 years, died at the home of his sister Mrs. Ella Grogan, in St. Louis Monday morning, August 22, 1910 at 10 o'clock. A few weeks since Mr. Carter went to St. Louis to consult a specialist concerning his physical condition which had not been good for several months. At first favorable reports were received concerning his condition, but he had a sudden change Sunday when the family here were notified of the fact. Early Monday morning E. Carter and his sister Miss Dollie, left here in an automobile to make connection at Mexico with the Wabash train, but arrived in St. Louis after the death of their father. The deceased was born and reared near Fulton, but for forty years he has been a resident of this city and was well known to all our readers. Besides a widow, he leaves one son, T. Ed Carter and three daughters, Mrs. Ernest Blackburn, Mrs. D.W. Herring, and Miss Dollie Carter, who have the sympathy of their friends in this sad dispensation. He also has 4 sisters, with the immediate family, to mourn his death. The funeral services over the remains of Mr. Carter were held at the new cemetery Wednesday afternoon, conducted by the Odd Fellows and Rev. T.W. Alton.
