months. He had been in failing health for
some time but his last sickness was only of

the firm Mr.. Carter worked on vessels built
in the old Carter yard by the PendletOn
Brothers. He was skillful workman, IA
miliar with every detail of vessels con-
struction, and popular with all who worked
for or with him. Strictly honest in all his
dealings, cheerful in disposition and kind
hearted he made many friends. There are
but few now left of the men who worked
in our shipyards when that industry was at
its height in Belfast. Mr.. Carter married
Mary Jane Walton of this city, who died a
few years ago. He is survived by son,

circle of friends in their bereavement. Dur

his sons wife and daughter, Mary, most of
whose lie has been spent with his family.
