From the Jackson Progress-Argus, July 17, 1925
Mr. J. S. Carter Yields To Death.
Mr. John S. Carter, one of Butts county's most highly esteemed citizens passed away at his home near Jackson early Saturday morning as the result of a stroke of paralysis suffered on July 2. Mr. Carter was gone some distance from home when he was stricken and he was removed to his home and given medical attention. His condition was thought to be improved but he began to sink Wednesday and grew weaker until the end came early Saturday morning.
The death of Mr. Carter removes one of the county's leading and most prominent citizens. He had long been identified with the progress and growth of this section and was a stalwart leader in the church and in every constructive movement for the advancement of the county and state. Probably no citizen in the county had a larger number of loyal and devoted friends. He was a man of sterling integrity and upright dealings and had the respect and confidence of all his associates. He belonged to a pioneer family of this section.
Mr. Carter had been a member of Towaliga Baptist church since boyhood and had served as a deacon for more than forty years. He was keenly interested in church and religious work and gave much time and thought to the advancement of spiritual conditions in his section. He was a successful farmer and belonged to that class that makes the production of feed and food the first consideration.
The surviving relatives are four daughters, Mrs. E. L. Adams, Jacksonville, Fla., Mrs. Walter Duke, Griffin, Mrs. W. S. Dame, Juliette, Mrs. I. P. Middlebrooks, Lakeland, Fla.; three sons, Mr. J. W. Carter, Deerrun, Mr. R. L. Carter, Atlanta, Prof. C. L. Carter, Union Point; one brother, Mr. W. J. Carter, Morehaven, Fla., two sisters, Mrs. W. J. Goddard, Monroe County, and Mrs. Jeptha Reynolds, of Texas. He is also survived by a number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Funeral services were held at the First Baptist church Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock and a large body of friends and relatives gathered to pay a final tribute of respect to this good man. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful. Dr. I. G. Walker conducted the funeral services and interment was in the family lot in the Jackson city cemetery.
