EMMA HALSTED CARTER GONE
Emma Halsted Carter was born in Sefota county, Ohio (I think it is Scioto County there is no Sefita County in Ohio) in 1846 and died at the soldiers home at Burkett NE. Thursday morning Sept. 9, 1915 of a general breakdown, no special disease being apparent. Mrs. Carter has lived in Blair since it was founded and was well and favorably known. She is the last of her family with the exceptions of a daughter, Mrs. Watson Hain, who at this writing is very low of tuberculosis and for whose recovery no hope is held. A sad, feature of the case is that all near relatives being dead, the body was met by her grandsons the Krause boys, her remaining nieces and her brother-in-law who assisted Mr. Hain in every way possible in this dark trial, which has come to him. The history of this immediate Carter family is indeed a tragic one, and dates back to the Civil War. At the beginning of the war the boys, then living in Kentucky and southern Ohio all answered the call for volunteers and with the exception of one brother aged fifteen they served faithfully thru the war of the rebellion. (Fleming) Turner Carter who enlisted in Co. D 123rd Ohio infantry saw the hardest service in the war and came home to recover from hemorrhage of the lungs contracted on the battlefield . In 1865 he having apparently recovered from his sickness and after being mustered out of the service married his intended bride and when the Carter boys homesteaded in Blair they followed with the rest of them from the south to start anew in their northern home, ten children were born
to them five dying in infancy and the rest with the father all died of Huber, but one daughter now remaining.
Two daughters-in-law, Mrs. Will Carter of Huron, South Dakota, Mrs. Harry Carter of North Loop, two son-in-law Alfred and Eugene Krause, and her grandson, are the remaining near relatives and all were present to pay their last tribute.
The funeral services were held at the Methodist church Friday in charge of Rev. Lewis and burial at the Blair cemetery in the family lot.
