Description

Stephen Carter, an aged and highly respected colored man, of Parkville, was taken to the State Hospital at St. Joseph for treatment Tuesday. Broken in both body and mind, after long years of faithful service, is was deemed best to place him where he could be properly cared for, and possibly completely restored to health. It is sincerely hoped by many that this may be brought about. For more than 40 years he was in charge of the gardens of Park College, and he was always faithful to every trust.
