In the passing of Mr. Carter, Sturgeon Falls has lost one of its prominent and enthusiastic citizens. As town engineer for the past six years he has been an energetic worker and quickly won the admiration of all those with whom he came in contact, and his death will be keenly felt by the entire community.

At an early age he moved with his parents to Bridgewater where he resided for fifteen years; then he moved to Springfield, from there he entered the university at Boston. Graduating as an engineer in 1902, he secured a position with the Davison Lumber Company of Springfield. Later he was employed on the Transcontinental Railway at Kenora, and as resident engineer of the Algoma Eastern Railway at Espanola. In 1916 he came to Sturgeon Falls as engineer for the Spanish River Pulp & Paper mills, and after a service of two years left their employ and was assigned to the position of town engineer, in which capacity he worked up to the time of his death. In 1906 he married Miss Lottie Grimm, of Springfield, at Kenora, who with her two daughters, Miriam and Doris and one son, Everett, are left to mourn his loss.
