A tribute newspaper unknown date unknown (before Aug 16, 1922)
Of the old-timers who were here forty-four years ago and are still living Mr. T. M. Carter looms into prominence. In him, in an all-round way, is one of the best men we ever had in Albany. He was a partner and executive officer of the firm of N. & A. F. Tift & Co., which firm did a general warehouse and banking Mr. Carter, like the writer, is getting along in years, but is still in the land of the living, and his honored name, as good as that of any man , has long headed a firm of warehouseman and cotton factors. He has held positions of trust and responsibility, and has now passed the allotted "three score years and ten," and when he is called hence, as he must in the very nature of things ere many years, no man can in truth of him that he was other than an honest man.
Mr. Carter needs no encomium at my hands or those of any other man, but as one who has known him well and long, I want to leave him well and long I want to leave my little bouquet of flowers at his door now, rather than wait unit he is dead, if perchance I live longer.

T.M. CARTER PASSES AWAY IN ATLANTA
Was for a Half Century Prominent Business Man and Highly Respected Citizen of Albany.
T. M. Carter, for years a prominent business man of Albany and one the most highly respected citizens of this community, died today in Atlanta.
Mr. Carter s death came after a long period of ill health. He was an active business man up to several years ago, having been identified with Albany business enterprises for a half century. When his physical condition became such that he could no longer give his attention to business matters, he reluctantly retired, and for some time prior to his death had made his home with one of his daughters, Mrs. E. C. Davis, in Atlanta.
News of the death of Mr. Carter will bring sadness to many Albany people, for he was a man who commanded the confidence and enjoyed the high esteem of all who knew him. He was long engaged in the mercantile and cotton warehouse business as a member of the old firm of N. & A.F. Tift & Co., and later of Carter & Woolfolk, and of Carter & Co.
Mr. Carter was a young man when the War Between the States . began, and was among the first to offer his services to the Confederacy. He saw much active service in the Western army, and was a gallant soldier, even as in the years of peace which followed he was known in the community where he cast his lot as a gallant gentleman. He belonged to one of the oldest and most distinguished of Georgia families, and no man among the older residents of Albany enjoyed in fuller measure the high regard of
his fellow citizens.
Mr. Carter was twice married, his first wife having been the mother of Mr. Carter's daughters Mrs. Eva Carter Wooten, of Albany, and Mrs. E. C. Davis, of Atlanta. The second wife of Mr. Carter was Miss Susan Tarpley, of Mississippi, a sweetheart of his young manhood. Her death occurred about four years age.
The body of Mr. Carter will be brought to Albany for burial, arriving Thursday morning. Funeral arrangements had not been announced this afternoon.
