Johnson Carter in the 1911 book Past and Present of Hardin County Iowa, pages 662-663: It is both pleasant and profitable to study the life record of such a worthy gentleman as he whose name forms the caption of this review, for in it we find evidence of traits of character that cannot help making for success in the life of one who directs his efforts, as Mr. Carter has done, along proper paths with persistency and untiring zeal, toward worthy ends. Having had as his close companion through life, upright principles, these worthy traits of character have resulted, as we shall see, in blessing to himself, his family and those with whom he has come into contact. J. H. Carter, one of the well known and substantial residents of Union, Hardin county, was born of an estimable old Southern family, his birth occurring in Yadkin county, North Carolina, in 1849. He is the son of Joseph W. and Abigail (Reynolds) Carter, who spent their lives on a farm in North Carolina and are buried at Boonville, that state, the father's death having occurred in 1909, at the advanced age of eighty-five years, the mother having passed away in 1901, at the age of seventy-six years. They were the parents of the following children: Mary married Isaac Caudal and they are living in Boonville, North Carolina; Nathan is deceased; J. H., of this review; Permelia, who married Nathan Adams and she died at the age of forty-two; Martha, Caroline and an infant unnamed, all died young diphtheria; W. A. is living in Union township, Hardin county, Iowa; Olive married Frank Worden and they live in Yadkinville, North Carolina. The paternal grandparents of the subject, Josiah and Elizabeth (Henshaw) Carter, were natives of North Carolina and spent their lives there. J. H. Carter received his early education in the public schools of his native state, and when nineteen years of age he started in life for himself. He came to Hardin county, Iowa, in 1869, locating at the town of New Providence, where he found employment in a steam mill, later worked on a farm. In 1872 he married Nancy Johnson, daughter of James and Jemima (Reece) Johnson. She was born in North Carolina, and in 1868 she came with her parents to Providence township, Hardin county, Iowa, and here met Mr. Carter and they were subsequently married. Mr. Carter has devoted the major part of his life to farming. He settled in section 13, Providence township, where he improved a fine farm and met with pronounced success as a general farmer and extensive breeder of live stock, and by hard work and close attention to his affairs he laid by a competency for his declining years, and in 1909 he retired from active work and moved to one of the finest and most desirable residences in the town of Union, where he now lives in comfort and quiet. Politically, Mr. Carter is a Republican, and he has been more or less active and influential in public affairs, and he held the office of township trustee for some time. He and his family are faithful members of the Methodist Episcopal church and liberal supporters of the same. The following children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Carter: Lavada married William Williams, and they are living at Chester, Iowa; Mollie married David Norman and she is now deceased; Maggie married Bowen Demitt, son of A. S. Demitt, mentioned elsewhere in this work, and she is now deceased; Roy married Pearl Rowan, daughter of A. L. Rowan, of Union township; Edna married Charles Norman and they live in Bangor, Iowa; Pearl is living at home. Information provided by John Fahey
