JOHN T CARTER IS DEAD AT AGE OF 85
John T. Carter, 85, operator at one time of one of the largest and best known livery stables in Atchison, died about 9 o’clock this morning at his home, 802 South Fifth street. He had been seriously ill for the last three weeks due to complications developing from kidney trouble.
“J. T.” Carter, as Mr. Carter was known to his many friends in Atchison years ago, was in the livery stable and horse business most of his life. He operated stables here up until the advent of the automobile and continued active in the horse business until a few years ago. He was considered one of the best authorities on horses in this section for many years.
Born in West Virginia June 20, 1850, John Thomas Carter came to Atchison county with his parents, William and Katherine Carter, when he was a young man. The family settled near Lancaster where Mr. Carter spent the early part of his life. He first entered the livery stable business in Nortonville many years ago, later moving to Atchison. He came here 33 years ago.
Mr. Carter first went into the livery stable business here under the firm name of Benjamin & Carter, having stable on Kansas avenue between Fourth and Fifth streets. Later he was a member of the firm of Carter & Seever with stable at 916 Commercial street. When automobiles became popular and put the livery stables out of business, Mr. Carter continued to deal in horses.
He shipped horses to Louisiana and other southern states for a number of years and had stables located in Louisiana during the war in late years, Mr. Carter had been retired.
Mr. Carter married Angie B. Tuley at Lancaster February 4, 1872. Mrs. Carter survives as do three sons, Jess Carter, Clay Carter and Gene Carter, all of Atchison, and a daughter, Miss Edith Carter, at home; one brother, Pink Carter of Fresno, Calif., one sister, Mrs. Harry [Perry] Nettleton of near Lancaster; six grandchildren and three great grandchildren.
Funeral services will be held at 2 o’clock Monday afternoon at the Sawin & Douglass chapel. The Rev. Roy Fields, pastor of the Christian church, will officiate. Burial will be in Mt. Vernon cemetery.
