RE: CARTERS IN OHIO Christmas Greeting to you - this obituary was sent to me my father a few years ago, I don't know what paper it was from: OLDEST RESIDENT OF NILES IS DEAD Friday April 16, 1908 Mrs Truth Carter, widow of the late Thomas Carter, died yesterday afternoon at 7'oclock in the Carter home in Main Street in which she had lived the past 40 years. At the time of her death, the deceased was the oldest resident of this city, being in her 84th year. She was of English parentage and descent and was born in Birmingham, England in 1825, the daughter of Benjamin and Elizabeth Brettelle, the parents never coming to this country. It was said of her that in truth she had lived a life symbolic of her girlhood's name, Truth: more than this could be said of none. Of ten children born to them (Truth and Thomas Carter), but four remain, and all have lived in close proximaty to the widowed mother. They are Edwin of Warren, Thomas of First Street, William B., Park Avenue and Charles J. Carter, the last three members of the Carter Brothers foundry, one of the oldest business concerns in the city. This is an abreviated form of the obit, and I would love to hear from anyone with any information on the Carters or Brettelles. Also anything about the Carter Brothers foundry. Thank you, Michelle Morton Bondella@s054.aone.net.au
