Mr. Carter lived many years in Little Barren Community and since the age of 22 was a member of the Little Barren Separate Baptist Church. Sixty years ago he married Miss Annie Belle Jeffries and to them were born four children, Mrs. Ida Edwards. Oak Ridge, Tenn., Hobart and Garrett. Horse Cave, Ky., and Leo, Oak Ridge, Tenn. All of them came home to lovingly help Mr. Carter in his illness. Besides his wife and these children he is survived by seven grandchildren, three great grandchildren, two brothers, one sister, and many other relatives. Mr. Carter was devoted to his family and friends and the masses of red roses, his lifelong favorite flower, was their silent tribute at the services which were conducted at his home by Reverend Angelo Fancher, a friend and neighbor. Burial was in the Horse Cave cemetery. A few days before his last illness Mr. Carter told his wife that after a long, good life he knew he his time was about run out and he was ready for that other life that is the heritage of Christian mankind. "Lay him down in the sunny earth, Lay him under the clover. He loved the fields, the soft, Green grass, And they shall be his cover. Warm summer sun, shine softly here, Green sod above, lie light, Soft Southern wind, blow gently here. Good night, dear one, good night." Obituaries of Green Co.
