  Notes	Besides farming, he helped his father and grandfather operate Carter's Ferry, and later he and his wife owned and operated cafes at various locations in East Texas. Virgie Speights, in November 1963, interviewed him prior to his upcoming eightieth birthday. He stated that he helped with the ferry "as soon as I was large enough." He recalled in great detail numerous incidents of feuding, fighting, and flight from the law. The ferry had previously been called the Paterson and Pugh Ferry, and the former owners met a tragic end, through such shenanigans. The river provided the Carters witha means of livelihood in many ways. They hauled pine knots to fire the boilers on various steamboats. Mr. Carter also made log runs down the Sabine River to Orange, which took 12 days and netted him $1 per day. They also raised cotton which they took to Robeline, Lousiana, necessitating they camp out during the trip. In 1909, Mr. Carter came to Texas, walking from Pendleton to Strickland Crossing, where he caught a train to Browndell, worked in a sawmill for a week, and then came back to Pineland. There he worked various jobs, including curing some of the first logs sawed in the old Know Lumber Company Mill. https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/J69L-H5F Name: John Bradford Carter Death Date: 27 May 1973 Death Place: Hemphill, Sabine, Texas Gender: Male Race: Death Age: 88 years Estimated Birth Date: 1885 Birth Date: Birthplace: Marital Status: Spouse's Name: Father's Name: Ben Carter Father's Birthplace: Mother's Name: Della Russell Mother's Birthplace: Occupation: Place of Residence: Cemetery: Burial Place: Burial Date: Additional Relatives: Film Number: 2242845 Digital Film Number: 4005482 Image Number: 59 Reference Number: 48349 Collection: Texas Deaths, 1890-1976 (Research): Census Listings: 1910 Census Texas, Sabine County, JP 1 Enumerated 30 Apr 1910 SD 2 ED 131 Sheet 11A Stamped 96 Hemphill and Homer Road 175-177 Carter, John B M W 25 M1 0 La La La Farmer Carter, Beulah E F W 16 M1 0 0/0 Tx Tx Tx 176-179 Quitman and Martha Carlton and Family 1920 Census Texas, Sabine, JP 1 Enumerated 20 Jan 1920 SD 326 ED 168 Sheet 24A Bronson and Hemphill Road 466-488 Carter, Brad Head m W 34 M La La La Sawyer Lumber Mill Carter, Bula Wf F W 24 Tx Tx Tx Carter, Myrtle Dtr F W 7 S Tx La Tx Carter, Masellr Dtr F W 5 S Tx La Tx Anderson, Ernest Boarder M W 33 Wd Tx Tx Tx Laborer Lumber Mill 1930 Census Texas, Sabine County, JP 1, East Mayfield Enumerated 7 Apr 1930 ED 202-1 SD 19 Sheet 5A 320-85-88 Carter John B Head m W 45 M 25 La La La Lumber Stacker Carter, Bulah E Wf F W 34 m 15 Tx Tx Tx Carter, Myrtle Dtr F W 17 S Tx La Tx Carter, Vivian M Dtr F W 15 S Tx La Tx Carter, Ollie L Dtr F W 8 S Tx La Tx
