Chipman (Queens Co.) March 14 - The late Allan CARTER who died recently at Northfield (Sunbury Co.), though a Scotchman by birth, was a thorough Canadian by education and adoption having moved to New Brunswick with his parents when only eight years of age. The deceased was born in the Highlands of Scotland, January 23rd, 1820 and christened in his infancy by the name of Allan McARTHUR, the patronymic title of his Gaelic ancestors for generations before him and by which name he continued to be known while living among his native hills. But when the McArthur family moved to the lowlands, while Allan was still an infant, according to tradition we learn that the family name became abbreviated to Carter, as the name was generally called in the south of Scotland and thence forward the family name has continued to be spelt Carter to the present day. The subject of this sketch was one of five brothers who came to this country in 1828 with their parents and settled at Kouchibouguac (Kent Co.) on the northeastern border of Kent Co. where the family obtained land from the government and hewed themselves a comfortable home in what was then an unbroken wilderness. After helping his father to clear this new farm young Allan, when he arrived to manhood, moved on to a new farm at Mill Creek, 20 miles west of the old homestead, where he made for himself a cozy home soon to be graced by his newly married bride, Miss Isabel McDONALD d/o late Ward McDONALD, a wealthy merchant of Richibucto. On this union twelve children were born, six sons and six daughters, all of whom with the exception of three sons, survive to mingle their sorrow with that of the disconsolate widow. The late Mr. Carter was a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church at Kingston. His remains were interred in the Baptist Cemetery at Upper Newcastle and an earnest discourse was delivered on the occasion by Rev. H.D. Worden.
