Thomas G. 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. Here the deceased was destined in a few years to taste the experience of Civil strife for in February, 1864, the Civil War raging, he enlisted in Co. G. of the 141st Illinois Infantry. In March of the following year '65 he was promoted to the rank of Corporal in Co. C. of the 156th Illinois Infantry. He was discharged in September, 1865.
When the Civil war was in progress Brother Carter's parents moved from Geneva to Clifton in the same state. And here the son returned home and also courted, wooed and won his wife to be Mary Moody. They were united in marriage in February 8th, 1871. The happy couple stayed there until the spring of '84 in the month of February, they came to Nebraska, homesteading on a farm in the corner of Frontier county. Here they made their home and brought up a large family.
In 1911 they decided to leave the farm and move to town but only two years had elapsed when the dear wife and helpmate of the years gone by was called home. Six years ago, Brother Carter moved to Colorado to make his home with his daughter, first in Greeley and then in Platteville in which latter town he died.
Brother Carter was a strong robust man until the last six years, but was bedfast only a few weeks. Only as late as March 18th he took down in a weakened condition. The end came suddenly. He had risen and dressed and on going from one room to another fell never to rise in this world.
About 39 years ago revival meetings were held in the old sod school house in Gosper where the school now stands. They were conducted under the leadership of Rev. Moore, a member of the Nebraska Conference of the M. E. church. During these Brother Carter was converted and joined the M. E church, remaining a faithful member of the same all the days of his life, at the end holding membership in Greeley, Colorado.
