Mrs. John R. Carter Died on Saturday
Fulton Resident Was 94 Years Old
Funeral Sunday at 3:00
The Homegoing of Mrs. John Robert Carter at 4:40 o'clock Saturday morning marks the passing of one of the oldest Women in Fulton and Callaway County. Mrs. Carter became ill on December 5, the day after her 94th birthday.
Funeral services were conducted from the home at 907 Court Street at 3:00 o'clock Sunday Afternoon by the Rev. W. Leslie Myers, pastor of the Court Street Methodist Church, and burial was in the Hillcrest cemetery at Fulton.
Margaret Ann Fletcher Carter was a daughter of John and Judith Simcoe Fletcher. She was born on a farm a few miles west of Fulton on December 4, 1845, and spent her early life there.
She was married January 30, 1868 to John Robert Carter, since which Mrs. Carter had been a resident of Fulton. Mr. Carter passed away August 20, 1910.
Five children were born of this union, of which three survive. They are; Thomas Edward Carter, New Bloomfield, Mrs. D.W. Herring, and Miss Dorothy Carter of Fulton. The two who preceeded their mother in death were Mrs. Nova Carter Rogers, and Mrs. Bess Carter Blackburn.
Of a family of 11 children, Mrs. Carter was next to the last. The only survivor of this family circle is Mrs. Lucy Sitton of Tebbetts and Fulton.
Mrs. Carter united with the Methodist Church more than 60 years ago and was a faithful attendant at church and Sunday school until five years ago when her health began to fail.
Mrs. Carter was of a quiet and retiring nature, but her ever smiling face made up for any lack of words. Deeper than any words ran a character that was always wholesome, loyal, and faithful. She was a good wife and mother. Her home was her haven and her children her riches. Surely the wise man described her when he wrote, "She looketh well to the ways of her household - her children rise up and call her blessed." She passed on in her quiet characteristic way, but there shall ever remain a sweet and hallowed memory to her loved ones and friends. "So when life's sweet journey ends, soul and body part like friends. No quarrels, no murmurs, no delays. a kiss, a sigh, and then away.
