Notes for MABLE MAY CARTER:
The residence of O. Carter on Sept. 6, 1905 was the scene of a quiet wedding
when Miss Mable, their second daughter, was married to Arthur Edmiston of Blenheim. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. R. McCulloch of Innerkip. Mr. & Mrs. Edmiston left on the afternoon train for Newport. On
their return they will take up residence in Blandford Twp. Among the guests were Mr. & Mrs. McLean, of
Detroit, Miss Zoah Smith, Buffalo, Mr & Mrs. Westlake, New York, Miss Minnie Blaine, Brantford, Miss
Rayment, Michigan, Mr. Monroe, Miss Monroe & Miss Harris of Stratford, & others in the immediate
neighborhood.
The date on Mable's tomb stone reads 1952 But that is not right it was 1953 I am
sure of that because I left Sask. in the fall of 1952 and I remember the
following spring when gramma died, Grover and Aunt Hanna came to Ontario for the
funeral. {That is when I got the Bible.}

Arthur and Mable lived in Blandford township for a while after they married
