Carter passed away at his home in this city last Monday afternoon after an illness of several months of ailments incident to old age, at the age of 90 years, six months and twenty-one days. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon at 2 p.m., funeral services being conducted in Biglin's chapel by Rev. Wiley, Methodist minister of Burwell and Rev. Bell, Presbyterian minister of this city, burial in Prospect Hill cemetery. Elijah Benjamin Carter was born at Albany, Mo., on December 22, 1849. The family moved to Iowa when he was small and they located in Mills county, near Glenwood,where he grew to manhood. On December 12, 1872, he was united in marriage at Glenwood to Miss Josephine Boswell. To this union ten children were born, six of whom, with their mother, survive and are left to mourn the passing of a kind and affectionate husband and father. The children are: Frank A., Phillsburg (sic), Kansas; Dr. L. A. Carter, O'Neill; Mrs. Mary E. Jenkins and Mrs. Mable Lee, Chambers; Mrs. C. E. Stitt, Benkleman, Nebr; Mrs. J. F. Cox, Wymore, Nebr. He is also survived by thirty-three grandchildren and thirty-two great-grandchildren, two brothers, Stephen Carter, Logan, Kansas, and James Carter, Glenwood, Iowa. All of his children were present at the funeral as well as several of his grandchildren. Also present was a son-in-law, Harry Sisco and his son, Verne of Pawnee City, Nebr., and a nephew, Riley Carter, of Chambers. Mr. Carter was a resident of Mills county, Iowa until 1891 when he moved to Washington, Kansas, where he resided for seven years, then moved to Burchard, Nebr., where he lived until his removal to this city in 1922, where he had made his home since. Mr. Carter was a fine citizen, a splendid husband, father and friend. It had been his privilege to have seen many of the stirring events of the early days of the west and he could unfold many interesting tales of the early years in western Iowa, when neighbors and towns were few and far between. It was not often that Mr. Carter could be induced to talk of his early days in the west, but when he did his conversation was always entertaining and interesting. It had been his fortune to live more years than is usually allotted to man and during his lifetime he always enjoyed good health and was able to enjoy life. His many relatives and friends in this section will miss him more and more as the days go by. The Frontier, O'Neill, NE, Thursday, May 16, 1940, transcribed by Linda Berney
