MILITARY FUNERAL FOR THOMAS CARTER



Funeral services with military honors for Thomas G. Carter were held Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the Methodist Episcopal church of Arapahoe, Rev. W. S. Morris officiating. Short services at the church and the committal services at the cemetery were in charge of the members of the American Legion and G. A. R. Interment (was) in the Arapahoe cemetery beside his wife.



The following members of Garrett post, G. A. R. were present: N. O. Hill, C. H. Tyler, W. E. Manahan, J. J. Wagner and R. J. Finch. Amos Coleman of Seward and Elder G. M. McGraw, Civil War Veterans, were also present.



Thomas G. Carter was born on January 14, 1849 in the town of Bristol, England and passed away at the home of his daughter in Platteville, Colorado, on Saturday morning, May 8th at the age of 77 years, 3 months and 24 days. When only five years of age his parents and family emigrated from England to America. They landed in the state of Illinois, locating in the town of Geneva. Here the deceased was destined in a few years to taste the experience of Civil strife for in February, 1864, the Civil War raging, he enlisted in Co. G. of the 141st Illinois Infantry. In March of the following year '65 he was promoted to the rank of Corporal in Co. C. of the 156th Illinois Infantry. He was discharged in September, 1865.



When the Civil war was in progress Brother Carter's parents moved from Geneva to Clifton in the same state. And here the son returned home and also courted, wooed and won his wife to be Mary Moody. They were united in marriage in February 8th, 1871. The happy couple stayed there until the spring of '84 in the month of February, they came to Nebraska, homesteading on a farm in the corner of Frontier county. Here they made their home and brought up a large family.



In 1911 they decided to leave the farm and move to town but only two years had elapsed when the dear wife and helpmate of the years gone by was called home. Six years ago, Brother Carter moved to Colorado to make his home with his daughter, first in Greeley and then in Platteville in which latter town he died.



Brother Carter was a strong robust man until the last six years, but was bedfast only a few weeks. Only as late as March 18th he took down in a weakened condition. The end came suddenly. He had risen and dressed and on going from one room to another fell never to rise in this world.



About 39 years ago revival meetings were held in the old sod school house in Gosper where the school now stands. They were conducted under the leadership of Rev. Moore, a member of the Nebraska Conference of the M. E. church. During these Brother Carter was converted and joined the M. E church, remaining a faithful member of the same all the days of his life, at the end holding membership in Greeley, Colorado.



He leaves to mourn his loss 9 children, John of Arapahoe, Will of Holbrook, Frank and Mrs. Emma Blackman, Charles of Arapahoe, Edward of Trenton, Mrs. Edith Stoll, Fred of Arapahoe, Mrs. Sarah Summers of Platteville, Colo. One son George died in 1904. One sister Mrs. Mary Leggott of Elwood, Nebraska, 35 grandchildren of his own, 3 step grandchildren, 1 adopted grandchild, 5 great grandchildren and numerous other relatives and friends.

155 "Arapahoe Public Mirror" (Arapahoe, Furnas Co., NE), 23 Oct 1913:



Mrs. Thomas G. Carter, an old and respected pioneer woman of Frontier county, died at her home in Arapahoe last Thursday morning, after a long and painful illness, cancer being the cause of death. She had lived in Arapahoe about three years, retiring from the farm with her husband to spend her last years in comfort, but her hopes were short lived, as she has been an invalid ever since coming to town, and her trouble dates even before that time.



Funeral services were held from the Arapahoe Methodist church Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, in the presence of nearly seventy immediate relatives and a following of sorrowing friends who overran the capacity of the commodious church. The profusion of flowers attested the esteem in which deceased was held in the community. Rev. Carr, of Lexington, a former pastor of Mrs. Carter, conducted the services, assisted by Rev. Pinckney. A special choir sang appropriate hymns. The singers were, Mrs. Mae Carter, Mrs. M. A. Clark, Chas. M. Evans and Clyde Prime, accompanied by Miss Madge Disbrow at the organ.



The body was borne to the grave by loving and tender hands, the six sons acting as pall bearers. They are John, Charles, Frank, William, Edward and Fred. The ladies of Lincoln Circle, auxiliary to the G. A. R., rendered an impressive ritualistic service at Arapahoe cemetery where the remains were interred.



Mary Moody was born in Belton, England, Aug. 31, 1849. Died Oct. 16, 1913. Age 64 years, 1 month, 16 days. She came to America with her parents at the age of three years and settled at Plainfield, Ills. A few years later they moved to Iroquois county, Ills., where she lived until she was married to Thomas G. Carter, Feb. 8, 1871. To this union was born ten children, seven sons and three daughters, all living near Arapahoe except one son, George, who died nine years ago. The spring of 1884, they moved to Frontier county, Nebr., where they have lived until two years ago when they moved to Arapahoe.



She had been a faithful and consistent member of the M. E. church at Gosper about seventeen years, also a member of Grand Army Circle. She was a kind and loving mother, and will be missed by all who knew her. She leaves to mourn her loss, a husband, nine children all at her bedside at the time of her death, two sisters, three brothers and 21 grand-children.



Two brothers, Wm. Moody, Elwood, Nebr., and George Moody, Chibanse (sic), Ills., two sisters, Mrs. K. C. Found, of Clifton, Ills., and Mrs. Hannah Leggott, of Bradley, Ill., being present at the funeral.

He always took an active in the interest in the work of the church and as long as he was able to get out, was a regular attendant at all services. When he was (no) longer able to take an active part in the work of his farm, he and his wife moved to Clifton where they lived until the death of his wife in January, 1897. After the death of his faithful helpmeet he sold his property in town and took up his residence with his daughter, Mrs. Found, where he remained until his death.

David and James Dunsire, children of Mary Mathieson or Dunsire, were mentioned in the Will of David Mathieson dated 23 March 1877, their grandfather.

David Dunsire was a general labourer when he married in about 1883. In 1891 he and Christine lived at 147 High Street, Methil. He died in 1894 [STAT REG DEATH Index], and in 1898 Christine married again, to William Campbell, a widower with several children.

172 #111.
Andrew Dunsire was my grandfather. In 1897 he and his wife Mary Black Cook, with their three young children James, Andrew and Alison, emigrated to Australia with Mary's father David Cook and most of his family, to open a new coal-mine in Outtrim, Gippsland, Victoria. My father, William, was born there in 1899, and another child in 1901. But tragically, Mary died in that year, and Andrew was obliged to return to Fife with his young family.
Family tradition certainly had it that Andrew either had a housekeeper, or a second wife, who was not very good to the children. But by the time I and my cousins had acquired an interest in investigating the family history in this respect, the intervening generation (our uncles and aunts who had known her] had passed on; and no written evidence survived. Only recently, with the help of the online database Scotlandspeople, was a name discovered and a marriage certificate obtained. The lady was a Jane Dewar, a neighbour of Andrew's parents at the Links, Buckhaven.
The marriage was an Irregular marriage, by warrant of the Sheriff Substitute of the Lothians and Peebles dated 18 December 1902, registered 18 December 1902 at Edinburgh. No clergyman was involved: under Scots Law, it was a lawful marriage by Declaration, in the presence of Robert Robertson, miner, and Ann Robertson, of 32 Links, Buckhaven. Ann Robertson was the elder sister of the groom, Robert Robertson her husband, and also the next-door neighbours of the groom, whilst the bride lived another two doors away at No.34.
In the corner of the marriage certificate there is an oval rubber stamp which reads 'SEE REG. OF CORR. ENT&. VOL. XXI p.164', and in the centre of the stamp, the handwritten word 'Divorce'. The date of the divorce was 3 June 1910, "pronounced by Lord Mackenzie, Ordinary, in an action at the instance of Andrew Dunsire, miner, College Street, Buckhaven, against Jane Dewar or Dunsire, his wife, residing at Denbeath". So it looks as if Jane had left Andrew, for whatever reasons. But certainly, Andrew married again later that year, in October 1910, in Darwen Lancashire, Marion Mackie Smith. She was known as 'Minnie', the cousin of his first wife Mary Black Cook (whose mother was Alison Smith). They had two further children, Catherine [Katie] and John.
According to the Statutory Register of Deaths Index, an Andrew Dunsire age 80 died in 1948 in Forgan [parish]. This included Newport-on-Tay, where Andrew's youngest daughter Katie lived with her husband Tom Thomson, a police sergeant, and my two cousins Tom and Marion. On the certificate Andrew is described as widower of 1st Mary Black Cook and 2nd Marion Mackie Smith. The second marriage is not mentioned. Died in Police Station House, King Street, East Newport. Usu.res. 21 College Street, Buckhaven. 80. Father James Wilkie Dunsire, colliery manager, deceased. Mother Ann Dunsire ms Hastie, deceased. Carcinoma of Stomach, Archb.B.Taylor MB ChB. Informant Jas.

According to the Statutory Register of Deaths Index, a John Dunsire age 58 died in 1933 in Buckhaven. This was the husband b.1874 of Sarah Foster and father of Jim b.1904, who married a Canadian girl Florrie Stevens. While they were on a visit home in 1933 John died of a heart attack, and Jim and Florrie stayed on with Sarah at the house at 18 Alison Street, Buckhaven. John is buried in East Wemyss cemetery.
According to his greatgrandson Jim Rankin, John was Scottish lawn bowls champion in 1912. Supported by a studio photograph, Glasgow 10 August 1912.
Leven Advertiser, 15AUG1912, p.7. "THE WORLD OF SPORT. Bowling Triumph. Mr. John Dunsire wins Single-Handed Scottish Championship.
"On Saturday, Mr. John Dunsire won the Scottish Championship on Queen's Park Green, defeating Mr. Andrew Carmichael, Falkirk, in the final by 21 shots to 10. Along with the championship is a purse of £20, and the possession of the Rosebery Cup for one year.
"Mr Dunsire qualified as the county representative in defating Mr. H. G. Smith, Cowdenbeath, by 21 to 16, and journeyed on Friday to Glasgow to take part in the closing stages of the competition for this much coveted trophy.
"He had four ties to play, and in masterly fashion easily accounted for his opponents, except in the second round, when he had a tough tussle against Mr. John A. Macmillan, Dumbarton, winning the tie by the narrow margin of one shot.
"The spectators watched the play with feverish interest, and were convinced that it was one of the finest exhibitions of bowling ever witnessed on the green.
"Having made such a fight for the Cup that day, the Club and officials were confident that nothing else but the top of the tree would satisfy their favourite, and on Saturday Mr W.Nicol, the President, and Mr.Alex Birrell, the Secretary, left for Glasgow in the certain hope of bringing home the Cup, so sure were they that nothing could stem the tide of victory.
"It was a most popular win, as the thunderous applause from two thousand spectators testified when the trophy was handed to the champion.
"In replying on behalf of the winner, Mr Nicol said that after 18 years Fife had been fly enough to win the Cup at last, and meant to be fly enough to keep it. Judging from the cheering which permeated Mr.Nicol's remarks, Fife seemed to be strongly represented in the crowd.
At Buckhaven, things immediately began to take shape on the wire from the President announcing the victory, and asking the Town Band to turn out. ... ... "
A special tramcar was despatched to meet the Glasgow train at Kirkcaldy. The champion's party was there entertained in the Station Hotel by a prominent Kirkcaldy bowler, before making the journey to Buckhaven, where the tramcar was met by a horse-brake ('lit up by a powerful lamp'). Mr. Dunsire was shouldered to the brake, which was then pulled by 'the strong arms of stalwart fellows', the procession headed by the band, parading by Lawrence Street and Randolph Street to the Free Gardeners Hall.
The Hall, packed to the doors, was the scene of the final celebration of the night, with many speeches and much singing, until the Town Band brought the proceedings to a close with the National Anthem.

This account in the Leven Advertiser was followed, for enthusiasts,
by a longer one detailing every 'end' in the final match, with appraising commentary.

Headstone in Methilmill Cemetery. In 1901 Walter (36, coal miner) and Fanny [29] lived at Stonebyre's Place, Methil Brae, with two children, Andrew (3) and John (1).
According to Brenda Gibb, Walter married Fanny - no idea of her surname. But this was a confusion between her relative Walter b.1873, son of Thomas Dunsire and Barbara Hutton, and this Walter Dunsire (s. of Andrew and Elizabeth Dryburgh, b.1864), as the husband of Fanny Bruce Kinninmont. Census evidence shows that her husband was the one born in 1864.
Walter was actually in 1911 the proprietor of Stonebyres Place, a property comprising ten houses (probably flats or apartments in block) and two shops, one of them occupied by Methil Co-operative Society. Other tenants were John Kinninmont and Robert Kinninmont, probably relatives of Fanny. Her brother John Kinninmont married Isabella Kay Dunsire, daughter of Walter's uncle Andrew. At the 1891 census Walter lived in Dunsire's Buildings, a property owned by his brother Andrew (m.Isabella Kay], comprising six houses and a shop. The annual value for rating purposes of Walter's properties was £123, a sizeable sum for those days - the actual rents received would probably be much higher. These coal miners were not poor people.
Following Walter's funeral on Thursday 22AUG1912, Mrs. Walter Dunsire (Fanny) inserted an anoouncement in the August 29th issue of the Leven Advertiser, thanking the R.W.M. [Right Worshipful Master], I.P.M. [Immediate Past Master] and Brothers of Lodge Cedars of Lebannon [sic] for their kindnesses.

Comments: I can give you further info on the family of Walter Dunsire,1864-1912 if you would like it. My grandmother, Euphemia Kinninmont, was a sister of Fanny Bruce Kinninmont who married Walter Dunsire. The Walter Dunsire born in 1873 died in 1875. The mother of Fanny Bruce and Euphemia Kinninmont was Fanny Dryburgh. Euphemia Kinninmont married Alexander Dunsire. See family 164 in Andrew Dunsire's web page on the Dunsire Family. My mother, Fanny Dryburgh Dunsire was born at Stoneybyre Place in 1909.

On her marriage certificate, Isabella is described as domestic servant, spinster, 30, of Methilhill, Wemyss. Father Andrew Dunsire, coal miner; mother Elizabeth Dunsire ms Dryburgh. The witnesses were Elizabeth Dunsire and William Duncan, probably the siblings of the bride and groom.

On her marriage certificate in 1895, Elizabeth is described as a housekeeper and spinster. The marriage was in Inverkeilor, Forfarshire, although the usual residence of both Elizabeth and her husband William Thomson is given as High Street, Methil. The witnesses were Margaret Adams and Charlotte Spalding. The Free Church Minister who performed the ceremony was John Adams.
According to the Statutory Register of Deaths Index, an Elizabeth Dunsire age 61 died in 1921 in Buckhaven. This could be Elizabeth b.26 October 1859, dau. of Andrew Dunsire and Elizabeth Dryburgh.

James Dunsire, age 26, 26 Mid Street, Lochgelly, Journeyman Tailor.
The marriage was conjectural, arising out of the 1901 census entry for the family of James' brother David [b.1859] in Auchterderran (Lochgelly), which shows a mystery 'Elizabeth, 30', and four children under ten - Agnes [8], David [7], Jessie [6] and Lizzie [4]. Agnes, Jessie and Lizzie were David's; the second David [7] [there already was a David age 15] indicates a different family, probably headed by Elizabeth. In the Statutory Register there is a marriage in 1892 between James Dunsire and Elizabeth Reid, which although it took place in Kingsbarns (rather far from Lochgelly) otherwise fits the known facts; the marriage certificate confirms the guess. One of the witnesses was David Penman, probably brother of his sister's husband William Penman. Also in the Statutory Registers is the death of a James Dunsire in St Giles, Edinburgh in 1898, age 36. This death would explain why the household in Lochgelly did not include James in the 1901 census, but not why it did not include David.

178 'Day by Day' - Virgil Maw

All it takes to start a mountain
Is a tiny grain of sand.
What becomes a mighty river
Can be cupped in one small hand.

There would be no bridge or building,
Not one mighty work of man
Without that one beginning,
Some first mark upon a plan.

All the steps that lead to Heaven,
Straight or tortured on the way
Are but footfalls and another
Taken day, by day, by day.

In her life of Christian Service,
Who can number those today
Who live and love a better life
Because caring was her way.

Who can know what mighty torrents,
Ever growing there might be?
What a river must be flowing
To that great Eternity?

Started by those acts of kindness,
Building strength along the way
From her quiet selfless service
Given day, by day, by day.
