A former Shortville area woman, Bernice R. Carter, 82, was buried Wednesday
afternoon, January 30, following funeral services from the Gesche Funeral Home
in Neillsville. Mrs. Carter of 305 West Fourteenth St., Neillsville, passed away
in Neillsville Memorial Hospital on January 27 following a long illness. She was
82. The services were officiated by the Rev. William Noble of the Neillsville
United Methodist Church. Burial was made in the Neillsville City Cemetery.
The deceased is survived by two brothers, Harold and Leslie Irish, both of
Neillsville. Preceding her in death was her husband in 1969, two bothers and one
sister in infancy.
She was born on January 17, 1898, in Neillsville to Clarence and Mary (Short)
Irish. As a young child, she moved with her family to Rochester, Minn., where
she received her education. She worked in that area, returning to Neillsville
where she married Hubert Carter on October 23, 1920. The couple lived in the
Shortville area for a short time and then moved to La Crosse where they operated
a foster home for girls for eleven years. The couple returned to Neillsville in
1973 to retire.
