Hope someone on the Carter list can help solve this. I have a Addison
Leander Filmore "Phil" Carter who was born 1-31-1851 Carroll Co. Tn. and
died 1-5-1922 in Oak Bluff, Ar. He is buried beside his wife in Woodlawn
Heights Cemetery, in Rector, Ar. Clay Co. I got Phil's birth and death
dates from Carter researcher Cella Mae Carter's book. Also I have visited
Phil's grave site, and comfirmed these dates. My problem is, Phil is listed
as head of house in the 1930 census in Rector, Ar. Clay Co. living with his
daughter. He is listed as widowed, but same book and same tombstone records
show his wife Aurelia Clementine Rowland Carter didn't die until 1932. I'm
certain that the 1930 census records are for the same Phil Carter, and
daughter Mittie Mae. Mittie Mae never married, and had a successful real
estate business and insurance co. in Rector. The Mittie Mae in the 30
census is listed as being in the real estate and insurance business. Any
ideas?
Thanks Joe
