Jennet Roberts was born in Wicks
and Wells, Mahoning county, Ohio,
January ~, 1872. She, was married to
Milton Carter October 8, 1893. After
their marriage Mr.. and Mrs. Carter
lived some time in Missouri. After
ward they moved to Lost Greek Iowa,
and later to Beacon, Iowa, where Mrs.;
Carter died December 81, 1899. When
quite young Mrs. Carter became at
flicted with rheumatism. This disease
developed into heart trouble which
was the immediate cause of her death.
Most of her life has been spent in the
keenest suffering, yet during all her
sickness she was patience itself. She
was cheerful and happy, and always
had smile and kind word for every
one. When but child she gave her
heart to Jesus and was baptized Al
though she was not member Of the
Beacon Baptist church, yet her great
desire expressed SO many times dur
ing her protracted illness was that
she might be spared to unite with the
church of her choice. She loved the
Master and the Christian life was to
her the greatest privilege and happi-
ness of her life. She never complained
but often wondered why she was kept
here so long in this world of suffering.
To those who had the great privilege
of being with her during her sickness
the mystery of her stay was not so
dark. She had mission, and when
she had SO nobIy filed it the Lord re-
moved her to her reward. At 9:05 p.
M, December 81, the Lord came and
summoned her to meet Him in Glory,
and with a shout of triumph she went
to claim her reward with the Savior.
She left a most beautiful testimony to
the saving and keeping power Of
Christ. May we who remain to fight
life's battles be as faithful to our Mas
ter, and may we do what we can to
answer our sisters prayer that thro'
her influence many may be brought
to the Savior she loved so well. To
know Mrs. Garter was to love her,
and her many friends mourn her de-
parture as personal loss. She leaves
a husband and three children to mourn
the loss of faithful and true wife, a
kind, loving and tender mother. Flu.
neral services conducted by the pas
tor, Rev. A. III. Nickel, were held
December 20 in the Baptist church at
Beacon. A large gathering of people
assembled to attest their respect for
the one whom they had learned to
love. How we shall miss herl But
she would not have US to mourn for
her. Death was but the passing from
a world Of pain to a world of bliss;
