Obit. – Mrs John McCarter
Mrs John McCarter has suffered for several weeks from an internal trouble, and while there was no hope of her ultimate recovery, friends were buoyed up with the hope that she might rally from her present illness and again be around amongst them. But such was not to be, and early this (Thursday) morning her spirit took its flight to the world beyond. Mrs McCarter was a great sufferer through her illness, but bore it with the same uncomplaining patience and resignation which had characterized her whole life. She was truly a mother in Israel, quiet in disposition and so kind of heart that many a home in Almonte has been brightened by her presence and her help and many will miss her kindly ministrations in coming times of need. Mrs McCarter, whose maiden name was Agnes R. Young, was a daughter of the late Peter Young, of Ramsay, and was the second eldest of the family, having lived to enter her seventy-fourth year. About fifty years ago she was married to Mr McCarter and to them were born six sons and five daughters, all of whom, with the exception of one, who died in infancy, are still living. These are: Peter and Alex in Dawson, Yukon; William, in Victoria, B.C.; James, at Verona; John, in Toronto; Robert in Montreal; Mrs J.M. Masson, Concord; Mrs Eastwood, Peterboro; Mrs Flanagan, and Miss Agnes, Almonte. All of these except Messrs Peter, William and Alex have been home during their mother's illness. The funeral will take place on Saturday afternoon at 2.30 o'clock, service at the house half-an-hour earlier.
