| Joseph Alpha Carter Funeral Record 7161_funeral record.gif
Please Note: The mother for Joseph Alpha Carter listed on this document, is actually his Grandmother, Susan H. Gravitt; Mattie Carter, the widow of Joe never met her husband's biological mother. Joe's Mother, Susie and his step-mother, Sallie Fannie are both, daughters of Susan Gravitt and William Green. Documentation later discovered that George T. Carter was also known as Gravitt; presumably Mattie Carter knew her husband's father as George T. Gravitt. |

Billie Carter Wyall writes about her Mother and Father: I was reading about mama and daddy's wedding day, how they met and if daddy worked in D.C.? Mama and Daddy met the first time when mama was a student at Averett College and one of mama's professor's had daddy be mama's escort on the May Day Parade. Then several years later they worked together at DuPont in Martinsville and eventually began dating. When the war broke out, mama joined the Navy and when daddy proposed they decided to get married in D.C. because mama was still in basic training and had a 24 hour pass. They were married immediately following another wedding in the church and the other bride told mama she would be glad for her to use her flowers. After their overnight honeymoon, daddy returned to Danville and mama remained in D.C. She would ride a coal train to Danville as often as she could to see her new husband. Then when she became pregnant with her first child, which she lost ultimately, she was honorably discharged from the Navy on July 4th, 1945. Mama was always so proud of that. Daddy was unable to join the service due to hearing loss in his right ear. But he did join what is now the Virginia Defense Force, to assist our servicemen. I am very proud of them both!

I just entered William "Bill" Daniel Carter's obituary and also his wife's. I also found their marriage on genealogybank.com They married at the Mount Vernon Methodist Church in Washington, D.C. She was a Navy Yeoman at the time, on 30 Mar 1945. I'm wondering if he might have been working in D.C.?? and that's how they met as her parents lived in Martinsville at the time.
