Jackson Sentinel, November 9, 1899.

CARTER-

At the home of her daughter, Mrs. George A. Isbell, on East Platt Street, Saturday, October 4, 1899, occurred the death of Mrs. Nancy Nearing-Carter, aged about 87 years. The deceased was born near Syracuse, New York, in 1812, and was married there in 1835 to Jonathan Carter. In 1854, they moved to this city, where Mr. Carter died in 1895. The deceased has not enjoyed good health since the death of Mr. Carter, and for the past four weeks has failed rapidly until death released her from the earthly ills. She leaves one daughter, Mrs. George Isbell, to mourn her death. The funeral was held at the home Monday forenoon, Rev. Samuel Shepherd officiating, and the remains laid to rest at Mt. Hope Cemetery.
