John Carter Birth 1 Aug 1803 Death 1 Nov 1894 (aged 91) Burial Fletcher Cemetery Fairview, Guernsey County, Ohio Spouse Mary Scott Carter, 1811-1891 (m. 1841) When twenty-four years old John Carter came to Fairview, Oxford township, Guernsey county, in 1827, and after a short time he went to Wheeling and established a grist-mill, which he operated for eight years. He then established the grist steam grist mill on the upper Ohio river at Pawhattan, on the West Virginia side of the river, and he operated this mill for ten years. Then he built a steam mill at Clarington, Monroe county, which he conducted for ten years, then bought a farm near St. Clairsville, in Belmont county. He farmed there until 1875 when he moved to Fairview, Guernsey county, and retired from active business, living at Fairview until his death, on November 1, 1894. At the advanced age of ninety-two years; his wife died in April, 1891, and both are buried at Fletcher's cemetery. He was a very successful business man and made good money out of his mills and farms, and he was a man of strong character. His father Joel Carter was a miller on Rock Run, Maryland, on the Susquehanna river, and he taught his son John the milling business. During the war of 1812 his mills were destroyed and financial disaster visited Joel. In the evening-up of business matters Joel Carter gave his son John two silver dollars with the statement that this would be the extent of his financial aid. But John Carter was a man who did not need aid, being strong in body and mind and of unswerving courage. He came west, as has been shown, and became a pioneer miller and amassed a fortune, also establishing for himself an envied reputation among all men with whom he came into contact in a business or social way.
