Page 4, Column 4Mortuary - William M. Carter
William Marshall Carter was born in Winterset, Iowa, Aug. 7, 1869. He came to Kansas City, Kans. in 1894 and followed his profession, that of a barber since maintaining his shop in one place for 20 years. About four years ago, his health began to fail and since then he has been able to work only a part of the time. About four months ago his health failed him entirely. He was able to get about the yard and house for a time but a month ago he was forced to take his bed, where he was since confined.
During this period, he assured the pastor of the Second Presbyterian church that he had accepted Christ as his Savior and was fully trusting in His saving grace. On Sunday afternoon, Dec. 30, 1917, the session and the pastor went to his home and received his confession of faith and administered the ordinance of baptism and received him to the church.
He lived in the enjoyment of the divine fellowship until Friday, January 4, 1918 at three o'clock in the morning when he departed into the great beyond. Mr. Carter leaves a mother, two brothers and four sisters, two sons and their wives, one daughter and her husband and three grandchildren besides the widow and a host of friends to mourn his loss.
He was a member of the Barber' Union 185, the A.O.U.W and the Cheyenne Tribe Improved Order of Red Men No. 15, the latter order having charge of the funeral services.
On Sunday afternoon, Jan. 6, 1918, the body was taken from the family residence to the Second Presbyterian church, where the pastor Rev. R. T. Milnes, preached the sermon from the text, Roman 8:18 and a quartet of the church choir rendered beautiful music. The floral offerings were large and very beautiful, many special and elaborate designs being among them. The pall bearers consisted of two from each of the above orders. The body was laid to rest in Mount Hope cemetery, with the beautiful grave service of the order of Red Men.
