CALVIN CARTER (1)
(1862-1943)


 




Calvin Carter was born October 19, 1862 in Union County, Illinois, son of Rachel Hartline and John Calvin Carter. He married on February 22, 1885 in Union County, to Mary Elizabeth Cauble, born December l0, 1862, on Hutchins Creek, Preston Precinct, three and a half miles west of Alto Pass, a daughter of Willis Cauble and Mary Jane Kimmel Cauble. Mary Jane died when Mary Elizabeth was only six months old, and Mary Elizabeth was raised by her stepmother, Serena Hartline Cauble who treated her as her own children. She attended Cauble School on Hutchins creek and Hambrick, near Alto Pass. Later she attended the Southern Illinois Normal University in Carbondale, Illinois.

Calvin was only four years old when his mother died and seven when he lost his father, leaving him an orphan. Willis Cauble, father of Calvin's future bride, was appointed by the court as the guardian of Calvin and his brothers and sisters. He lived with his stepmother's family until his older brother, Jackson, married in 1876 when Calvin went to live with him. After a few years, he left his brother's home and went to work on the farm of his guardian. His education was obtained in the local district school with attendance for a time at Ewing College, when he considered preparing himself to be come a teacher. It was while working on Willis Cauble's farm that he courted Mary Elizabeth and they were married February 22, 1885 She was known as 'Libbie."

When Calvin was twenty-one, his guardian had turned over to him five hundred and twenty-five dollars, part from his father's estate and part which Calvin had earned working on the farm. Soon after their marriage, they moved to Nebraska where he went into partnership with a friend operating a general store. It was there that their first child was born.

Calvin and Libbie returned to Illinois in the fall of 1886 when his father-in-law persuaded him to take over the operation of the Old John Cauble homestead on Hutchins Creek.

In 1899, he bought his first farm and moved his family to what was then called the Lingle Place, a mile and a half North of Alto Pass. In June of 1900, Calvin moved into a smaller tenant house while a new house was being built, which they occupied that fall.

The children born to this marriage were:

Roy Adam Carter, born January 13, 1886 in Nebraska. Married Georgia, daughter of George and Ruth Underwood Stone, August 16, 1905 in Union Co. He died May 12, 1965 and is buried at Alto Pass Cemetery, no children.

Carrie Ethel Carter, born February 24, 1887.

Cora Ellen Carter, born May 1, 1888, Union Co. died June 6, 1891 and is buried in Jerusalem Church Cemetery, Jackson, County, Illinois.

Serena A. Carter, born September 22, 1889, Union County, died February 2, 1890, buried Jerusalem Cemetery.

LaWanda Carter, born March 14, 1902. (2)

Willis Clifford Carter, born October 17, 1903.

In 1905, Calvin purchased the farm of Benjamin Franklin Hartline, two and a half miles north of Anna, Illinois, consisting of 137 acres in a high state of cultivation. It was considered one of the best farms in the area with many good buildings and a variety of fruit trees. Down by the creek stood an old log house, which was probably the home of Peter and Esther Fullenwider Casper, the original owners of the property.

The purchase price of the farm was seven thousand dollars. Six thousand Calvin had, and other thousand he borrowed from the bank at Alto Pass with the loan being guaranteed by Calvin's father-in-law, Willis Cauble. The entire seven thousand dollars was withdrawn from the bank in cash and placed in a bucket which was held between Calvin and Willis on the seat of a wagon as they drove to the courthouse in Jonesboro where the transaction was completed. The profit from the first year's rhubarb crop alone was sufficient to pay off the loan.

In 1917, on the advise of his physician, he rented the Hartline farm to a tenant and purchased the smaller Ellis farm on US Highway 51, one and a half miles north of Anna, where he lived and farmed on a smaller scale.

In 1935, their house on the Ellis farm was completely destroyed by fire. While a new house was being built there, Calvin and Mary Elizabeth, with the help of their daughter, Gertrude Sullivan, moved into a rented house on E. Vienna Street at Anna. In 1936, they occupied their new house, and it was there that Calvin died of a heart-attack on April 14, 1943. He was buried at Alto Pass Cemetery near his father-in-law and former guardian Willis Cauble.

At his death, Calvin owned 213 acres of land and nine lots in the Crowell Heights Subdivision one mile north of Anna.

After his death Mary Elizabeth (Lib) lived with various of her children until her death June 16, 1961 in a nursing home at Chester, Illinois. She is buried beside Calvin.
