Carter, Thomas (2)
an English Congregational minister, was born in London, Sept. 13, 1840. When about eighteen years of age he was converted, and soon afterwards began to preach. In 1860 he was accepted for service by the London Missionary Society, and sent to study at Bedford. He was ordained Aug. 26, 1863, and sailed with his wife Sept. 17 for Lonsdale, Berbice, in British: Guiana. Failing health caused his return in one year; and after a brief rest, he accepted the pastorate of the church at Great Totham, Essex, where he labored successfully for three and a half years. His next charge was at Albion, Hammersmith; and his last at Newham, Gloucester. Each of these in turn was given up because of failing health, and he finally retired from the ministry. He died April 1, 1881. See (Lond.) Cong. Yearbook, 1882, p. 287.
