Carter, Charlotte

Mrs. Charlotte Carter, wife of Judge Robert Carter, of Perry Township, this county, died at her home Tuesday, November 17, 1891. She would have been 75 years old December 22d, having been born on that day 1816. She was the daughter of Asa Amos, a prominent citizen of his day, and was married to Judge Carter a little over 58 years ago. Ten children were the fruit of this union, five of whom survive her vis.: Wm. A. of Pittsburg,Kas., Missouri McGath, of Sciotoville, O., James and Annie Carter, yet single at home and J. Hunter Carter, of this city. She left brothers and sisters as follows: Mrs. Thomas Carter, of Perry township; Mrs. Mary Ann Bolton of Wyoming County, N.Y.; Covington and Decatur Amos, of Lawrence county, and Leftrage Amos, on New River, W.Va. Her husband, Judge Carter, also survives her, at the age of 77.
Mrs. Carter's trouble, which led to her death, began over a year ago, when a cancer appeared on the back of her hand. She suffered from this to such an extent that it was determined to remove it, and the day after last Christmas, Drs. Eakins and Howell performed the amputation of the hand. After this she gradually improved, until she received a severe fall, which increased her delicate and invalid condition, which was marked by a gradual descent to the terminaton of her life. Toward the last her sufferings were most excruciating, but were patiently and heroically borne to the end. She was widely known as a good wife, loving mother and kind neighbor, and was repsected, greatly, by all who knew her.
Her funeral services were conducted by Hon. John W. McCormick, after
which she was buried at Salem near Patriot. And this is life when at its best.
