Elbert Sell Carter died on 18 April 1909 in St Louis, St Louis County, Missouri and his mortal remains were laid in the Anatomical Board Cemetery in St Louis, St Louis County, Missouri on April 20, 1909.
" (NOTE: Elbert S. Carter probably never sat for a portrait before his entering the service during the Civil War, but he spent almost 10 months with the 86th in the Nashville, Tennessee area, during which time most of the members of the 86th took the opportunity to sit for portraits to send back home to their loved that they missed so much. These portraits would have come in one of two forms. The oldest form was what was called the "tin type", which was printed on a thin slice of tin and usually put in a fancy case, similar to plastic. The newer form was called the CDV and was a paper picture glued to a heavy card stock about the size of a modern day baseball card and unlike the "tin type" many copies could be easily made of the picture and boy did the boys make extra copies.

Even today many copies have been found of the same picture of some men in the 86th.
Then, Elbert S. Carter survived the war and lived well into the 20th Century. During this time, Elbert must had his picture taken many more times. I would love to see some pictures of Elbert as a young man, especially one of him in uniform from his days with the 86th, but, I would just love to see ANY pictures of Elbert be added to his FAG site, even some of him as a 50, 60 or 70 year old man.
