trouble rapidly overcarne him. He
was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Carter and was born on the
Huron Road, Tuckersmith, on the

Norman Carter. For a few years he
and his brother had a farm of their
own adjoining the home place. Fif-

lett; Mrs. Herb. Oakes, Goderich

Carter was a member of Londesboro
United Church, formerly Methodist,
and for over 40 yeart was a member
of the Quarterly Board. In 1926 Mr.
and Mrs. Carter celebrated their
Golden Wedding Anniversary. Much
sympathy is extended to the family
and especially to Mrs. Carter, who is
in very poor health. The funeral on

district, Rev. J, Johnston, of Londes-
