S. B. CARTER

     a pioneer of 1886, is a native of Wayne county, Kentucky, born November 25,
1849. He was engaged in farming in the state of his birth until 1886, when he
came to Spokane county and filed one hundred and sixty acres of land, half a
mile north of Milan. He lived on this farm until 1896, then bought a water mill
on the Little Spokane river, which flows by the town. He has since been engaged
in operating this mill, which has a capacity of ten thousand feet per day and
which also has a planer and lath mill attached.  The lumber is marketed mostly
in Spokane.  Mr. Carter is one of those employers of labor who have the happy
faculty of getting along well with men, and the best of good will seems to
prevail always between himself and his employees.  He is a charter member of the
Maccabees, and an enthusiastic worker in the order.  He was married in 1870 to
Miss Adelia Campbell, a native of Tennessee.  They have had nine children,
namely:  Martha E., Hannah J., America, Archo, Menzo, Belle, Edna and Porter,
living, and John H., deceased.
