Death Overtakes a Well Known Citizen
James P. McCarter Found Dead in Bed at Elsinore
Friends of James P. McCarter were shocked Saturday to hear of his death as he was not known to be seriously ill. On Sunday, December 5, he went to Elsinore to try the baths, as he had not been feeling at all well for some time, and on Saturday morning he was found dead in bed, having expired some time during the night. Y.W. Bushard, a near neighbor was notified and made arrangements for the funeral, which was held at Huntington Beach on Tuesday afternoon, a number of Anaheim Elks going down to attend. Deceased was a member of the lodge here.
Mr. McCarter was 72 years of age. He was born in Virginia, and came to Anaheim about 12 years ago. For many years he was engaged in the mining business in California, but finally sold all his interests and came to Anaheim to spend the remainder of his days. His only relative in this region is a niece who lives at Huntington Beach. He was a quiet and unassuming man, a friend to everybody, and will be missed by those who have associated with him, and met him daily on the streets of this city.
