Richard Carter Dead; Born In England 1829


Richard H. Carter died in Toledo November 18, 1914, in the eighty-sixth year of his age. He was born in Manchester, England, June 25, 1829, and when a mere infant he was brought by his parents to this country. They settled in Peen Yan, N. Y., where they remained five years, coming overland thence to Toledo which was then only a small town.

He was united in marriage to Miss Mariah Pardington December 24, 1861, at Trenton, Mich., who departed this life about two years ago [20 Jan 1913]. To this union were born three children [Metta, Rosa, and Rolland], all of whom are left to mourn the death of their father.

He united with the First Presbyterian church of Bryan on profession of faith in Christ, February 21, 1868 under the ministry of Rev. D. K. Richardson. He served his church as an active member of the board of trustees for 25 years, and a few years ago on account of his valuable and self sacrificing service, he was made trustee emeritus for life.

He had a keen sense of humor and was a kind and courteous christian gentleman of the old school. he was the last of a large family to be taken, and most of his intimate friends have gone on before him. After a long and useful life he has responded to the call of heaven and entered into his rest.

A short funeral service was held at the family residence, corner of Bryan and Cherry streets, Friday evening, his pastor, Rev. E. S. Marshall, officiating. The burial took place [21 Nov 1914] Saturday morning in Fountain Grove cemetery.
