NEILLSVILLE PRESS (Neillsville, Clark County, Wis.) 12/09/1926 Carter, James (6
JUL 1854 - 3 Dec 1926) James Carter
passed away at his home in this city (Neillsville, Clark County,
Wis.) Friday morning, Dec. 3, 1926. He had been ailing for some
time and had been under examination and treatment, but had secured
no permanent relief. The Sunday previous to his death he was taken
to Eau Claire, where a thorough examination by X-ray and other
tests were given, which revealed that he had cancer of the stomach,
other organs also being involved. It was apparent to his relatives
that he could not live long, so he was brought back to Neillsville
Wednesday night. Mr. and Mrs. Carter had been living on their farm
south of Shortville, but had been getting ready to move to their
home in Neillsville. During his absence at Eau Claire, this home
was made ready to occupy and he was brought there on his
return. James Carter was
born near Cambridge, Jefferson Co., Wis., July 6, 1854. He grew to
manhood there, and in 1881 he went to North Dakota and took a claim
near Grafton. In August 1882 he was married to Miss Fanny Irish at
Grafton, N.D. They lived on their farm for a time, then moved to
Wadena, Minn., and back to their farm again. About 36 years ago
they sold out and moved to Clark County, buying the farm south of
Neillsville. This has been their home most of the time since,
although they have lived at times in their home in Neillsville. Mr. Carter was a
man of a high type of character, dealing justly and honestly, ever
mindful of the good of all about him, industrious and faithful in
all his undertakings, a kind and loving husband and father and
helpful neighbor. Few men in this community have lived a life more
blameless. He is survived by his wife and three daughters: Ethel,
Mrs. Paul Kuhn; Clara, Mrs. Ed. F. Short; Ruth, Mrs. George
Albaugh, all living near Shortville. One daughter, Ida, Mrs. Jesse
Wilding, is deceased. He leaves also four grandchildren, a brother,
David Carter of Fond du Lac and a half-brother, Ed Carter, of
Neillsville. The funeral was
held Monday afternoon at the Presbyterian Church, Rev. Rawson
officiating. Those from away in
attendance were Mr. and Mrs. Ed Harvey of Rochester, Minn., and
David Carter of Fond du Lac. © Every submission is protected by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
