History, Page 299 Anthony Carter, one of the pioneers of Mitchell Co., settled in Cedar twp. in 1855. He bought land on sec. 20 and 21, Twp 98, Range 17 (Cedar Twp). The Cedar River passes through his farm. He has improved the land and built a comfortable frame house in which he now lives. He was born in the town of Methwalt [Methwold], England August 23, 1809 and was there raised to agricultural pursuits. He was joined in marriage in 1832 to Emma Boven, who was also a native of Norfolk Co., where he was employed herding and farming until 1851, when they left their native land and came to America settling in Dane Co., Wisc., where they were early settlers. They remained there until 1855, when they came to Mitchell Co., Iowa as before stated. They have six children living; Nathaniel, James, Anthony R., Joseph R., Philip B.,and George H. Their only daughter, Sarah, who was born June 4, 1844 died May 1854. Mr. and Mrs. Carter celebrated their Golden Wedding Oct. 20, 1882. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Oliver of Mitchell assisted by Rev. Ingham of Osage. Their friends turned out in large number. Mr. Carter was presented with a large easy chair. Mrs. Carter was presented with a rocking chair. There were many other presents which would amount in value of $100. In 1849, Mrs. Carter met with a singular accident by which she nearly lost her life. As was the custom in England, they used peat for fuel, and whenever they left the fire, they would cover it with ashes to keep it alive. On returning one day she raked the embers from the ashes and took the powder canister and poured powder on the dying embers. The powder quickly took fire and the canister exploded, tearing the flesh from her arm and severing the thumb from her right hand. She however, recovered from the shock and is today a hale and hearty woman at the age of seventy-three. Previous to the accident a film was growing over her eyes [cateracts] and it is thought she would become blind, but the film was removed and it is possible that she would have been blind today but for the accident. Obituary- Mitchell County Press News 1890 DIED At his home in Cedar township two miles south of Mitchell on June 25, 1890, Anthony Carter in his 81st year. Anthony Carter was born in Methwold, Norfolk Co., England, August 23, 1809. He was married to his bereaved widow in 1832. They came to America in 1851 and settled in Dane county, Wisconsin. He was one of the old settlers of Mitchell county, settling here as early as 1856. Mr. Carter possessed a very rugged constitution. Though suffering much he seemed to withstand the disease a long time, which finally terminated his life. He identified himself with the Methodist Church in Mitchell many years ago. The funeral services were held on Thursday the 26 from the church in Mitchell. A brother of Mr. Carter some seven years older was in attendance, at the services, also a sister two years younger. A large number of neighbors and friends also attended the services. Thus one by one the old settlers are passing away.
