I have the following obituary in my file. I thought you may like to have it. Thelma Brooks Morgan. CARTER, JAMES MRS - (1839-1900) b. Apr 25, 1839 d. Dec 28, 1900 Lafayette, Indiana Daily Call,Saturday, December 29, 1900, page 5 Salem Cemetery, near Attica, Indiana The Shawnee Mound community was greatly pained last evening by the announcement of the death of Mrs. James Carter. She passed away at 4:15 o'clock at the family residence, one mile west of the Mound. She had lived in that locality nearly all her life, and there was no woman in Jackson Township who stood higher in the estimation of the public or who was closer in touch with the hearts of the people than Mrs. Carter. She had been troubled for years by an affection of the throat, but the immediate cause of death was paralysis. She was stricken on Monday but did not lose consciousness until the shadow of death had completely enveloped her. She was deprived of the power of speech at the time she was prostrated, and remained silent from that time on, but the members of the family and her friends realized that she was conscious of their presence and that she appreciated the love that was manifested in their gentle ministrations to her wants. Mrs. Carter was the daughter of Peter Wheeland and was born in Ross County, Ohio, on April 25, 1839. She was married there on January 6, 1858, to James Carter, and immediately left her Ohio home and accompanied him to the Shawnee prairie. The husband and five children survive, viz.: Mrs. Lulu Nuss of Terre Haute; Mrs. Lizzie Patton, Mrs. Lettie Foster, Edward and Nelson Carter. The deceased had been a member of the Baptist church nearly all her life and was actively connected with the with the congregation at Newtown. She was a woman of deep religious convictions and her influence for good had been plainly felt in the community in which she lived. The funeral will be conducted from the residence on tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. Rev. Mr. Henson, pastor of the Baptist church at Newtown, will officiate, and the interment will be made in the Salem Cemetery. -----Original Message----- From: gc-gateway@rootsweb.com [mailto:gc-gateway@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of vivwiley35@yahoo.com Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2005 8:24 PM To: INTIPPEC-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [INTIPPEC] Re: Mrs. James (Keziah) Carter - Obituary This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
