    • Miss Betty Carter Is Dead.
      Native Fultonian Died Suddenly at Home of Her Sister in Boone County, Sunday Morning.

      Miss Martha Elizabeth Carter, more familiarly known to her friends as Miss Betty Carter, died suddenly at the home of her sister, Mrs. Mary Calvert, at Brown Station, Boone County, about 10:00 o'clock, Sunday morning. She apparently had been in good health and death came most unexpectedly. She was almost 79 years of age.
      The body was brought to Fulton, Sunday evening and funeral service was conducted at the home at 907 Court street at 3:00 o'clock Monday afternoon by the Rev. W. Garnet Alcorn, pastor of the First Christian church, of which Miss Carter was a member. Interment was in the family lot at Hillcrest cemetery, of this city.
      Miss Carter was a daughter of the late John G. and Matilda Herring Carter. She was born on a farm just west of Fulton, Nov. 8, 1848 and grew to young womanhood there. Later she removed to Fulton, where the greater part of her life was spent. While here, she operated a dressmaking establishment, developing probably the largest business of it's kind in the city.
      Besides the sister with whom she was visiting at the time of her death, the deceased leaves a second sister, Mrs. Nancy Powell, of Clipper Mills, Calif. One sister, Mrs. Ellen Grogan and two brothers, John R. Carter and W.R. Carter, proceded her in death.
      Miss Carter formed a wide acquaintance among the people of Fulton and Callaway county, where she was well and favorably known, and she will be missed by many of the older citizens of the city, who were numbered among her acquaintance.

  • Notes 
    • The 1880 census for John R Carter shows a sister Bettie Carter, single, age 26, born in MO, Dress Maker.

      Her father left all his children $1.00 in his will, but he made Bettie administrator and left her his property and the remainder of his estate.

      Found on the 1910 census, unmarried, living with her brother William's family in Fulton on Court Street. Dressmaker

      On 1920 census, living with Margaret Carter,.age 71

      In 1927 she was living with her sister, Mary Carter Calvert family, and died there. Death certificate says she was buried in Fulton, Her obituary states she was buried in the Carter family plot at Hillcrest. There is no headstone for her, but there is room in the old family plot, so I assume either her headstone has been taken away or she never had one, Her father's headstone is also missing from the family plot there.
