Joseph Carter

"Carter, J., Bear Lake p.o., Freehold, was born in Columbia county, N.Y., in 1829, and settled in Warren county in 1838. He was married in 1854 to Mary Howles, by whom he had a family of twelve children, eleven of whom are now living. Mr. Carter enlisted in the Eighty- second Pennsylvania Regiment, was captured and taken prisoner at Shenandoah Valley by Mosby, but with one other man made his escape. The rest were never heard from; (he) was again captured on the Weldon Railroad by Willcox's brigade of sharpshooters, December 31, 1864, and remained a prisoner in Pemberton and Libby prisons, Richmond, forty- seven days. He has been an almost constant sufferer from chronic diarrhoea, rheumatism and a kind of scrofulous sore on his leg."

"Mr. Wanning(sic) who works here for the Booth-Kelly Lumber company, was called to Eugene Saturday when his son, Jimmie, who is well-known in Wendling, was taken to the Eugene hospital for an operation.  Jimmie was taken suddenly ill while at the family home in Dexter, and was rushed to the hospital in Eugene.  Mr. Wanning(sic) went down Saturday evening to be with the boy."

Any ideas about the illness - appendicitis perhaps?

October 23, 1971

"Mrs. James (Margaret) Waning, a member of Covenant Presbyterian Church in Eugene, has been elected "moderator" of the Willamette Presbytery of the Oregon Synod of the United Presbyterian Church.

Mrs. Waning, who lives at 4637 Old Dillard Rd., is the first woman to be elected to a top district layman's post in Oregon's Presbyterian organization.

Elected this month by the clergy and lay delegates in the Willamette presbytery, Mrs. Waning will take office Jan. 1.

The Willamette Presbytery includes 31 Presbyterian churches in west central Oregon.

Mrs. Waning, who is 56 is an elder at Covenant Presbyterian and has been a member of the church since it was founded in 1963.

She was a delegate last spring to the Presbyterian General Assembly, which elected the first woman national moderator in the assembly's history.

Mrs. Waning's principle duty will be to preside over the four meetings of the presbytery to be held this year.

Also, she says, she will serve as "sort of an interpreter" between General Assembly and Oregon Synod officials and representatives in the Willamette Presbytery.

Mrs. Waning and her husband, James have three daughters and nine grandchildren."
