Carlton S. Carter of Chisago City, MN

Passed away peacefully October 5, 2008 at his Vindauga View apartment in Chisago City, MN.
He was born March 7, 1929 to Harold and Marian Carter in the house that he later owned with his wife Charlotte, becoming the 5th Carter to own the house and farm. Together with Charlotte and his three daughters, they shared the beauty and the challenges of the farm on Cedar Road, in Mickleton, New Jersey. Success, in part, was counted by the customers who came from out of state, as well as locally, to buy Carter apples and peaches. His Quaker upbringing and involvement throughout his life melded with his personal temperament very well, for he was known for his trustworthiness. His word was his commitment; his integrity was solid. His sense of duty was immense – to his family, his community, and to society-at-large. He served on 4H, Farm Bureau, Grange and Quaker committees, as well as several terms on the East Greenwich Township Committee, an elected position. He was also known for a high level of fairness and civility -what some might call right speech” and “right action.” He rarely acted in haste, took the time to make thoughtful decisions, and rarely spoke in anger.
He is deeply missed by his wife, Charlotte; daughters, Anita (Ted) Winpenny of FL and CT, S. Lee Carter of NM and June (Greg) Amundson of MN; grandchildren, Erik Amundson and Dana Amundson; sister, Elizabeth “Betty” Crispin of NJ and numerous friends in New Jersey, Florida, Minnesota, and across the country.
A memorial service in Mickleton, NJ will be announced at a later time.
