Obit. ? Mrs John McCarter
Mrs John McCarter has suffered for several weeks from an internal trouble, and while there was no hope of her ultimate recovery, friends were buoyed up with the hope that she might rally from her present illness and again be around amongst them. But such was not to be, and early this (Thursday) morning her spirit took its flight to the world beyond. Mrs McCarter was a great sufferer through her illness, but bore it with the same uncomplaining patience and resignation which had characterized her whole life. She was truly a mother in Israel, quiet in disposition and so kind of heart that many a home in Almonte has been brightened by her presence and her help and many will miss her kindly ministrations in coming times of need. Mrs McCarter, whose maiden name was Agnes R. Young, was a daughter of the late Peter Young, of Ramsay, and was the second eldest of the family, having lived to enter her seventy-fourth year. About fifty years ago she was married to Mr McCarter and to them were born six sons and five daughters, all of whom, with the exception of one, who died in infancy, are still living. These are: Peter and Alex in Dawson, Yukon; William, in Victoria, B.C.; James, at Verona; John, in Toronto; Robert in Montreal; Mrs J.M. Masson, Concord; Mrs Eastwood, Peterboro; Mrs Flanagan, and Miss Agnes, Almonte. All of these except Messrs Peter, William and Alex have been home during their mother's illness. The funeral will take place on Saturday afternoon at 2.30 o'clock, service at the house half-an-hour earlier.

Agnes married John McCarter in 1855. John was born on 10 Apr 1823 in Brechin, Angus, Scotland; died on 25 Sep 1899 in Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried on 27 Sep 1899 in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Ramsay, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

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.
