~Army nurse and dispatch bearer - 1862- 1865~

***By order of the County Court and under the auspices of Preston Morton Post, G. A. R., the remains of Mrs. Elizabeth Carter, who died at the County Poorhouse last fall, and interred there, were disinterred Tuesday and reinterred in the Hartford (Oakwood) Cemetery. Mrs. Carter, during the late war, was for three years a nurse, and it is said that more than once she served successfully as a spy. The Woman's Relief Corpse, of the State of Ohio, will furnish an appropriate monument to mark the last resting place of this deserving but neglected old woman.

***Mrs. Elizabeth Carter, who died the 18th of November 1893 last at the Ohio County Alma House, was removed yesterday to the Hartford (Oakwood) Cemetery by the old soldiers. Mrs. Carter served three years as nurse in Nashville during the late war. She had a record to show that the above service was rendered, hence the removal and burial by the old comrades. A monument will be erected at her grave in the near future by the Women's Relief Corps of the State of Ohio.
