| Name | Frederick Ellsworth Carter Obituary and Family Listing
Tuesday, September 29, 1914 Rochester Sentinel - Rochester, Indiana
Despondent because his wife had refused to live with him, Fred CARTER, age 22, a son of James CARTER and a well known young man of Kewanna, committed suicide Monday afternoon by shooting himself through the heart. The act took place at the home of his grandfather, J. J. CARTER, who lives in Kewanna. The young man left the family after the dinner hour and went to his room up stairs. After remaining there for a few minutes, he shot himself with a revolver. He was dead before a physician could be summoned.
Fred Carter has been married twice and was the father of one child. His first wife passed away several years ago. His second wife left him during the summer and refused to come back.
A sister of the deceased committed suicide several years ago by drinking carbolic acid. It is said at the time that the act was caused by a love affair.
The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at the home of his father near Kewanna. He leaves a father, mother, wife and two sisters.
