The funeral Sunday afternoon of Mr. Leonard T. Carter, who died Friday morning after a prolonged illness was under the auspices of the Odd Fellows and was largely attended. The deceased leaves a wife and three small children, who have much sympathy in their loss. (Cedartown Standard, Thursday, April 17, 1919)
Leonard Carter, Odd Fellow Resolutions., It behooves us as a member of a great fraternal order, built upon the divine doctrine of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man, to turn aside from the regular routine of our duties, and let our thoughts dwell for a while upon those of our brothers who formerly met with us, but have passed over the river and are now resting in the shade of the trees. On the 11th day of April, 1919, our dear Bro. Leonard Carter ceased his earthly labors and answered the summons of the great "Noble Grand" of the Universe to "come up higher." Brother Carter was a loyal Odd Fellow true to all the teachings of friendship, truth and love so deeply imbedded in the basic principles of our Order. He was always ready, with heart and hand, to respond to any call of a brother in distress, or to the needs of the Order which he loved. He was a kind father, a loving devoted husband, a true friend, and upright law abiding citizen, and a genuine Christian gentleman. We are sadden by his going away. We shall miss him around our alter in the Lodge room, and will always cherish his memory; therefore, Resolved, that as Odd Fellows we tender to the bereaved family of our deceased brother our deepest sympathy in this hour of great distress, and pray that He who "tempers the wind to the shorn lamb, and doeth all things well," may comfort and support then in this dark hour, and lead them into the blessed light of His eternal love. Resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be spread upon our minutes and a copy sent to the bereaved family. H. T. Phillips, T. W. Schliestett, J. C. Langford, Com;. (Cedartown Standard, Thursday, May 22, 1919)
