Harriet Lyme, daughter of James

born in Belmont county, Ohio, Feb.

that community. On Oct. II, 1866,
she was married to James H. Carter,
and faithfully shared with him the
joys and sorrows and responsible
ties of life until Oct 13, 1912, at
which time he was called from
earth. Since March !. 1875, the
village of McConnelsville, O., has
been their home. Two sons were

sister, Mrs Charlotte Arthur, pre-
| ceded her in death. On Feb. 12

ia, O., under the ministry of Evan
gelist d. p. Black. becoming iden-

faithful member. Probably she ex.
perienced no keener enjoyment than
that of filling her place in the as
sembly of the saints, as long as
health permitted The last words
she was heard to utter were of
things pertaining to the welfare of
the church. She was also charter
member of Phil Fl. Sheridan W. r.
c., holding continuous membership
since the corps was organized in
1888. At 1920 a. M, Dec. "a,
1880, her spirit took it's flight, she
having attained to the age of SS
years, 10 months and % days. Low
ing hearts and hands ministered to
her comfort to the utmost that was
possible, until she sank peacefully
to rest at the end of her long pill
grimage. This dear one will be
greatly missed from her accustomed
place here, but we are cheered by
the hope of glorious reunion of all
souls when the labors of
this life are finished.
