  HENRY W. CARTER, one of the old and honored residents of Grand Chute township, who is engaged in operating a fine farm of 100 acres, is a native of Concord, New Hampshire, where he was born December 14, 1826, a son of Aaron and Eliza (Hazelton) Carter, also natives of that place. Aaron Carter, who had been a farmer and also worked in a ship yard in his native state, came to Wisconsin about 1843 and settled in Racine, where he was employed in a ship yard until he lost his health, and then moved to Waupaca county and engaged in farming, being thus occupied at the time of his death, in 1855. Mrs. Carter continued to live on the property for about ten years, after which she came to live with her son, Henry W., and when she died, about 1904, she was over 100 years of age. Aaron Carter was a well-known man in his community, and was elected to various local offices. Henry W. Carter is the only surviving child of the five children born to his parents, and he secured his education in the public schools of his native place. He was about sixteen years of age when his parents left for the west, and was engaged in tending stage horses at Concord for the carrying of the government mails for about four years, when the railroads came in, and he was employed at construction work for two years. He then drove a team in the city of Nashua, New Hampshire, for seven years, and worked in a livery one year and in a saw mill three years. At this time he decided to come west, and subsequently located in Waupaca county, where he was engaged in farming for nine years, and during the next two years worked in a Calumet county brickyard. In 1876 Mr. Carter came to Grand Chute township, buying a brick yard, and four years later purchased the property adjoining, and until 1909 he worked both the brick yard and the farm, but since the year mentioned has given his whole attention to agricultural pursuits. He has 100 acres of finely cultivated land, on which he carries on general and dairy farming, making a specialty of Jersey cattle. He has added largely to the improvements on this place, being the second owner since it was homesteaded. Mr. Carter has always been a great lover of horses, and he is considered one of the best judges of horseflesh in the county. He has always kept a number of fine animals with him, his fondness for them dating back to the time when as a boy he cared for the stage horses in the east. Mr. Carter is a Democrat in politics, but he has never cared to hold public office. On February 3, 1853, he was married to Mary E. Bixby, who was born in Litchfield, New Hampshire, March 24, 1833, daughter of Daniel and Nancy (Griffin) Bixby, natives of that state, where Mr. Bixby was a boatman and lumberman. Two children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Carter: William H., born in New Hampshire in March, 1854, engaged in farming on a tract near that of his father; and George A., born in Waupaca county, Wisconsin, operating a grain ranch in California. Mr. Carter has long been a member of the Odd Fellows.
