Obituary:
A funeral for Cameron Arthur Carter, 92, a Seventh-day Adventist minister who was former pastor of Kilmarnock Seventh-day Adventist Church, was held Friday at Carter Memorial Seventh-day Adventist Church in Foneswood.
Mr. Carter died Tuesday, May 5, 1987, in a Tappahannock hospital.
A native of Foneswood in Richmond County, he spent his youth as a waterman on the Rappahannock River and the Chesapeake Bay.
During the early 1920s, he was sent as a missionary to China for the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
He served there for 37 years and was ordained a minister there. He helped establish four Seventh-day Adventist Church colleges-two in mainland China, the China Training Institute in Taiwan and the South China Union College in Hong Kong. He served as president of the two latter institutions.
During World War II, he was interned in a Japanese camp when the Japanese invaded Hong Kong. His family had been sent back to the United States when talk of war circulated in the Orient.
Mr. Carter, who at one point nearly died from beriberi, was released when Hong Kong was liberated. He returned to Foneswood where he became a chicken farmer. He raised chickens and sold eggs in Richmond and Washington.
For several years he lived in Richmond during the week and taught history and relegious studies at Richmond Junior Academy of his church.
He later served for several years as pastor of Kilmarnock Seventh-day Adventist Church.
Mr. Carter was promoter and a founder of Tidewater Memorial Hospital in Tappahannock, which opened in 1964.
He donated the land and helped establish Carter Memorial Seventh-day Adventist Church, which was dedicated in 1977.
In his later years, he donated two or three days each week to visiting patients as an ex-officio chaplain at Tidewater Memorial Hospital.
Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Bramble Carter; a daughter, Mrs Lenora Altman of Foneswood; three stepdaughters, Mrs. Kathleen Johnson of Apopka, Fla., Mrs. Priscilla Lynn of Vienna and Mrs Joyce Altman of Spotsylvania; a stepson, Richard Bramble of Pennsylvania; six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
