Obituary

DIES AFTER MEAL.

Ellery H. Carter of Concord, N.H., Succumbs to Acute Indigestion.

Montpelier, Feb. 17. – Ellery H. Carter of Concord, N.H., while visiting Mrs. S. H. Morey, his daughter, here, died suddenly yesterday afternoon. He ate his usual dinner, but was in acute pain a short time afterward, which seemed relieved until 3:30 when it developed again and he died in a few minutes. He was a Civil War veteran of the 11th Vermont regiment and a painter by trade. He leaves a wife of Concord, N.H., and one daughter, Miss Grace Carter of Foxboro, Mass. The funeral will be held at three o'clock this afternoon.
