BODY TAKEN BACK TO KENTUCKY HOME

DEATH OF MISS CARTER OCCURRED AT EARLY HOUR THURSDAY MORNING.

Short funeral services for Miss Fannie Carter who died at the home of her sister Mrs. L. R. Hunt at 12:12 Thursday morning were held at the home at four o'clock by Rev. Jackson Giddens of the First Methodist church assisted by Dr. C. N. Swihart of Memorial Lutheran church. Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Hall sang a beautiful and touching duet and the choir sang "Abide With Me."

The body left by express over the Northwestern train last night for Newport, Ky. It will be met at Cincinnati, Ohio by the sister Mrs. George McGinnis of Newport and accompanied to the old home. Funeral services will be held Saturday at Evergreen chapel and interment will be at Evergreen cemetery.

Miss Carter was a native of Newport, Ky. where she spent her young life. Later she went to Chicago where she lived for some time and from there went to Denver where she made her home a considerable time. It was about 12 years ago that she came to Nevada to make her home with her sister Mrs. Hunt.

She was a member of the Christian church in Kentucky and later transferred her membership to a Denver church. With the exception of few months spent in Denver during the war her home had been in Nevada for twelve years. For two years she was at Indianola during school terms mother of Delta Delta Delta sorority. This work, in which she was much interested, she was forced to give up because of declining health.

During her wartime residence in Denver she contracted the flu and thus developed into other complications from which she never recovered. Death was caused by cancer of the stomach.

She leaves to mourn her death a sister Mrs. George McGinnis of Newport, Ky., brother Frank L. Carter of Lexington, Ky., sisters Mrs. E. P. Dameron of Denver, Mrs. Chas. E. Bean of Chicago and Mrs. L. R. Hunt of Nevada besides a number of nieces and nephews and a host of friends.

Miss Carter was a woman of many fine characteristics and during her residence in Nevada had made many warm friends who with the members of the family are deeply grieved at he passing.

The floral offerings at the funeral were many and beautiful, testifying to the very high esteem in which she was held in the city.
