Effie M. Carter was born to Alice and Watson Gardiner, June 3, 1881, and departed this life on August 13, 1960. She had reached the age of 79 years, 2 Mo. and 10 days. She was born the first of five children. Preceding her in death was her only brother Harel, killed in World War I and a sister Caddy, Mrs. Albert Currier.

March 4, 1904 wedding vows were solemnized, when she became the bride of LNear Carter, who preceded her in death, passing from this life less than one year ago, October 1959. To this union was born one son, Wade.

She leaves to morn her son Wade, his wife Jean, and her two granddaughters, Dawn and Lynn all of Omaha, Nebraska. Two sisters, Mrs. Cora Mizer of Delta and Mrs. Alice Guthrie of Swanton.

Mrs. Carter was a member of the Mt. Pleasant Evangelical United Brethren Church, where she was a faithful servant of her Lord until failing health of Mr. Carter and of herself made it necessary for her to give up her church activity.

Her health failed very soon after the death of Mr. Carter and she became a patient in the Frey Convalescent Home at Delta. Those who cared for her learned to love her deeply. Her patient suffering ended Sunday morning August 13, as she quietly slipped away to be with her Lord.

A LITTLE WHILE
"A little while" for patient vigil keeping,
To face the storm, to wrestle with the strong!
"A little while" to sow the seed with weeping,
Then bind the sheaves and sing the harvest song!
-J. V. Credon
