The TALES you probably never heard about

ISABELLA H. CARTER

[Welland Tribune, 26 February 1897]

After a comparatively short illness, Miss Isabella H. Carter died on Wednesday evening at the residence of her sister, Mrs. Jas. Tinlin. She died as she had lived-peacefully and quietly. She was the third child of Levi and Hannah Carter, and was born in Salem county, New Jersey, U.S.A., on March 8, 1818, and was therefore in her 79th year. Her life has been a long and unselfish one, having lived largely for the good of others. She rests from her labors, and her works do follow her. The funeral will take place from the house on Friday, at 1.30 p.m., where a short service will be conducted by her pastor, the Rev. J. M. Smith. A memorial sermon will be preached on Sunday morning in the Baptist church, from a text of her own choosing.
