Gertrude Welch Carter died 15 July 1955 in Virginia Beach.
Her funeral service was held at New Hope Presbyterian Church, whose 
record book shows on page 177 that she was sent to North Carolina for 
burial.

The 1910 census lists her living in Mintonville with 4 sons, Herbert, 
Pat (Alexander Patrick), Wallace, and Thurman. I presume that one of 
those four was our friend Ric's grandfather. The databases to which I 
have access do not let me see information about living people, so I 
can't trace backwards.

The same 1910 census lists the profession of nearly every adult in 
Mintonville as "Farmer", though there are a few "horse dealer" and 
"merchant" titles here and there.
