Constantia, Oct. 27 – There died here on October 21st, Richard W. Carter, for half a century widely known throughout Oswego county and Central New York. He was buried Tuesday in the family plot in Cleveland village cemetery. Born January 17th, 1834, at Cartersville in the town of Amboy which was named for his father and uncle, he lived there until 1845 when they moved to Constantia. Carterville was too far from transportational facilities and while it once had a fair pretentious village, there is nothing there now but a church, a school and a boarding house. As soon as the timber was cut people moved away. The Carter family were long in business there and Mr. Carter known as “Dick” was always an influential citizen. He was always an ardent Democrat, but never desired or sought political office.
He is the last of a trio, consisting of himself, Hon. William H. Baker and George W. Beebe, who for many years met annually to celebrate their common natal day on the 17th of January.
Mr. Carter never married and is survived by his brother, Julian S. Carter; his sister, Mrs. George W. Beebe; two nieces and three nephews.
