Mrs. Carter died at her home on East Harrison street at 8:30 this morning, of a tumorous affection after a long illness.

Deceased leaves a son and three daughters to mourn her death.

Of her daughters Mrs. Ed Palmer is the only one living here, the other two residing at Alton and Godfrey, Ill., respectively.

The funeral arrangements will not be determined until the arrival of the absent daughters, who are expected to reach here tonight. It is probably that the obsequies will take place at her late residence some time tomorrow morning. The place of interment could not be learned.
