Read More	The Sylvia Sun, Sylvia, Reno County, Kansas, February 13, 1913, page 1 OBITUARY OF ASA CARTER Asa Carter was born January 7, 1831, and passed from this life February 5, 1913. Being, at the time of his death 82 years and 28 days old. He was married to Martha Plummer, who still lives to mourn his departure, on March 9, 1854, at North Salem, Indiana. Had he lived until the 9th of next month they would have celebrated their 59th wedding anniversary. To this union were born eight children, six of whom survive the father and were present to comfort the sorrowing mother. A daughter, Mary Ann, died when but 11 months old. A son, Milton, died in 1887, when twenty-three years of age. The sons are: Levi, of New Ulysses, Kansas; Allen, of Lena, Nebraska; and John of Sylvia, Kansas. The daughters are: Mrs. Ella Albert, of Garland, Kansas; Mrs. Addie Bass, of Langdon, Kansas; and Mrs. Rhoda Short, of Burroak, Kansas. Besides these there are 36 living grand children, and 9 great-grand children, for whom he had great affection and in whom he took great delight. He was equally loved by all of these children. The family came to northeastern Kansas in 1873, and came to this community in 1883. "Uncle Asa" or "Grandpa Carter" as he was familiarly known by everyone in this community had a large circle of friends. In fact, all who knew him were among his friends. He had a good word for everyone. He was prone to excuse the faults in others rather than criticise them. If he felt badly, he never complained, he laughed and joked with all whom he met, and no one would ever suspect that he had any pain or burdens. He was always faithful to his invalid wife, waiting on her patiently. He always put the best side out and spread good cheer where many would have harbored gloom. He was always clean in his conversation, and in his peculiar way, left a good seed thought in one's mind. He loved to read the best religious literature and discuss it with his friends. He read much aloud for "Grandma" as he called her, and for other members of the family who were present. He had a birthright in the Friend's Church, to which he belonged when he died. In the earlier days he preached some, and was always a great worker in the Sunday School until it became impossible for him to attend. He was never seriously sick until he took his bed only a few weeks ago. He seemed to know his time had come, and told his feelings to the family. He was ready for the Master when He called. Though he has ceased from his labors his works will follow him. The bereaved family has the deepest sympathy of the community. In addition to the linked children below, there was a daughter Mary Ann Carter (mentioned in the above obituary), who was born 29 Sep 1862 in Hamilton Co, Indiana and died 09 Sep 1863 as family traveled between Indiana and Iowa.
