Eva Carter was born in Macomb, IL Jan. 2, 1861 and died at Nepesta, CO., Aug. 9, 1915, aged 54 years, 7 months & 7 days. She was the youngest of the family of Rev. and Mrs. J.W. Carter. The deceased came to Macedonia, IA with her parents in 1871 and was educated in the Macedonia schools. On Dec 22, 1886 she was united in marriage to John A. Garrett. To this union four children were born: Ray W., & E. Fern of Nepesta, CO.; Mrs. Velma Nuzum of Ft. Scott, KS., and Mrs. Vena Robertson of KC KS., who with her husband, two brothers, Joseph A. Carter of Clarksville, AR, and John Edward Carter of Tacoma, WA and one sister, Mrs. Henry Wilson of Lincoln, NE. survive her.
The Presbyterian church of Macedonia was organized in April 1871 by Rev. J.W. Carter, father of the deceased, and the pastorate was held by him for 16 years. Eva Carter was for years a faithful member of the church also a devoted teacher in the SS and a member of the choir, endearing herself to all by her loving service. After her marriage to Mr. Garrett they moved to Carson, IA in 1900, and united with the Presbyterian church of that place, where they were worthy members. In 1907 they moved to Canon City, CO., hoping the change would be beneficial to the health of Mrs. Garrett. From that trouble she was entirely cured and she enjoyed health during her residence there. Never fully recovering from an attack of grip in January she became bed-fast in May and released on August 9. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. Leonard, pastor of the Macedonia Presbyterian church, assisted by Rev. Glassburn of the Methodist church, Agu. 13, 1915. Burial was made in the beautiful cemetery of Macedonia. Those who knew Mrs. Garrett best loved her most, for to know her was to love her. If, as we believe, reward is meted out to those whose deserts are greatest, then she is indeed reveling in Heavenly delights, for she had laid up for herself great treasures in Heaven. The bereaved husband and children can have nothing but comfort from the memory of this life which was well spent. "It matters not at what hour the righteous fall asleep; Death cannot come untimely to him who is fit to die".
