Death of H. K. Carter
H. K. Carter, who has resided for the past nine years on what is known as the Gould vineyard, just east of Davisville, across the S. P. tracks, died early Monday morning after a few days illness. However, the old gentleman had been rapidly failing for a long time. The services were conducted by Rev. J. W. Dorrance from the late residence with songs by Messers Robson, Covell and Miss Mabel Philliber, Mrs. C. A. Covell, and his remains were laid in the Davisville cemetery.
H. K. Carter was born in Syracuse, N. Y., and was 79 years and 4 months of age. In his native State he married, 53 years ago, Miss Hester Ann Trakey. He came to California in 1856, with his family. He resided in San Francisco about one year, removing to the Territory of Washington, where he remained about four years, before returning to San Francisco and Oakland. Between the two places he made his home thereafter until coming to Davisville, nine years ago. To them, but one son was given, Leroy T. Carter who still makes his home with his parents.
For many years Mr. Carter has made a specialty of the dried fruit business and bought for large wholesale firms. His aged widow, especially, has the sympathy of this community in her loss of the partner who had for more than half a century journeyed with her.
