George Henry, third son of Howard and Eleanor (Lyon) Carter (son of Isaac G. Carter, son of Isaac P. Carter) was born April S, 1865, Matthews. Grant county, Indiana; died 19
When six weeks old his parents started to move to Henry county, Iowa, in wagons, a trip of three weeks, camping out by the way. The trip did not hurt him in the least and he arrived in Iowa well, hearty and getting fat. Here he grew to manhood in good society in a good, healthy country, working on the farm and going to school enough to occupy his time. Improvement in the mode of farming and tools to farm with made it possible for one man to do more farm work than several could do years ago. Gang or sulky plows with three or four horses to the plow, harrows sixteen to twenty feet wide, drawn by four or five horses, self-dropping corn planters, harvesters that bind the grain and leave the sheaves in bunches, are some of the things that have come to us in the past few years that make it possible for one man to raise a great deal of grain. He and his sister, Alice, had the management of the home farm for six years, during which time he did the farming and ran a threshing machine, buying a complete steam threshing outfit and fixed up a feed mill to grind corn and clop feed. The number of threshing machines in the country soon did the work with but little financial profit to
machine owners.
Allie May Jacobs, daughter of Joseph Lawson and Rachel Annie (Carl) Jacobs, was born July 18,1869, Henry county, la.; died 19
She grew to womanhood on the farm where she was born and being among the oldest of a large family, mostly girls, she saw the necessity of preparing herself for the duties of life besides the work in the house and on the farm. She, therefore, studied hard in the country school and got well advanced in her studies. She then went to Mt. Pleasant and attended a training school for teachers until she was competent to teach in the public school of the county, which business she followed three or four years very successfully.
George Henry Carter and Allie May Jacobs were married March 28, 1894, Mt. Pleasant, Henry county, Iowa. No children were born to this union.
He took her to his home on his father's farm where he was engaged in farming, threshing grain in its season and grinding chopped feed for the neighbors during the winter. The fall of 1895 he bought a grain elevator at Pekin, Jefferson county, Iowa, made a public sale and sold off what property he did not want in his new business and moved to Pekin the last of November and engaged in the grain, seed, coal and tile business. The business being new to him he made some mistakes at the start, but getting better acquainted with the business and gaining the confidence of the people, he built up a profitable trade. In January, 1904, he entered into partnership with I. M. Lewis and in connection with the elevator they have a store of general merchandise, farm implements, wagons and buggies and are doing a good business.
His wife has done her part well by keeping boarders most of the time and traveling men make their house their stopping place. She also busied herself raising chickens and has helped to pay for the home they now have.
He was raised in a family of Christian people and in his youth united with the Methodist church. Her parents held to the Baptist faith, but she is now a member of the church with him and they are doing what they can to help others to a better life.
