In his obituary, Howard Carter is described as "the old Indian" and is said to have been "of Negro and Indian extraction." The obituary also says, "Carter was perhaps the oldest man in Ohio. The claim is made that he was born in North Carolina in February 1795, and came to Xenia when most of the territory now occupied by the city was in woods." If that claim is true, Howard Cater was 109 years old when he died.
