  	1910, Friday September 23, The Almonte Gazette, front page Obit. -- Mr McCarter Very genuine indeed was the regret universally expressed in town last Thursday night when it was announced that Dr James McCarter had passed away in Kingston that afternoon. On Monday of last week he was operated on for appendicitis and was apparently progressing towards recovery when paralysis of the bowels set in on Thursday and caused his death. James Mostyn McCarter was born in Almonte thirty-seven years ago, being a son of the late John McCarter, for many years principal of the public schools. He was educated at the Almonte high schools and graduated in medicine from Toronto University. He subsequently located at Verona near Kingston about ten years ago and here, through his acquired skill and natural congeniality, he had built up a large practice and was one of the most popular and best known men in a large district. Last May he was united in marriage with Miss Asseltine of Verona and he had just completed the erection of a handsome home in that town. These two last facts make his demise peculiarly sad. Besides his wife he is survived by five brothers and four sisters -- Alex and Peter in the Yukon; William in Vancouver; Jack in Toronto; Robt in the United States; Mrs Masson Hilsboro, Mass; Mrs Eastwood of Peterboro; Mrs Flanagan and Miss Agnes of Bassano, Alta. The body was brought to Almonte and on Sunday interment was made in the family plot in the eighth line cemetery, the funeral being from the home of Mr Robert Young. The funeral was unusually large, on account of the sincere sympathy which generally prevailed over the untimely death of one who had grown to manhood in Almonte.
