Obituary.
Mrs. Janette CARTER, wife of Henry CARTER of Alexandria township, Leavenworth county, died at her home May 19, 1891, after a lingering illness. Mrs. CARTER was born in Montgomery county, Ky., March 11, 1819, was aged 72 years, 2 months, and 8 days. She united with the church in 1836. On April 30 of the same year she and Mr. C. entered into holy bonds of matrimony. She was ever an affectionate, dutiful wife and mother. Of eleven children born to the exemplary couple, six survive to mourn their loss and to console their surviving parent.
Mrs. CARTER's interest in religion was such that when in 1854, the family removed to Platte county, Mo., from the place of her birth and conversion she at once attached herself to the local congregation at Platte City. On moving to Kansas during the rebellion she sought the Missionary Baptist church and remained a worthy member of the same until she exchanged mortality for immortallity.
The funeral services were conducted at her late residence by Rev. MARSHALL. A large number of friends and neighbors, some of a quarter of a century standing accompanied the remains to the Fowler cemetery on the 20th instant. Thus a true woman, a fond mother, a loving helpmate and obliging neighbor goes on before resting as we fondly believe in peace.
