Carter was born on January 14, 1849 in the town of Bristol, England and passed away at the home of his daughter in Platteville, Colorado, on Saturday morning, May 8th at the age of 77 years, 3 months and 24 days. When only five years of age his parents and family emigrated from England to America. They landed in the state of Illinois, locating in the town of Geneva.
