1920 census names J. Buck Carter living at 710(?) Jefferson St., Wichita Falls, with wife Martha (age 53), his occupation: laborer for Katy Road House (ed81, sheet1, line 44). Four other families living at same address.
Was told by his descendants that Buck's first wife Sarah worked hard in the farm fields. When she died in 1901, Buck left his children in the care of Sarah's family (the Kirby's). The sons worked at various farms in the area. Sarah's sisters Talona and Lucy may have been involved in rearing Sarah's children, and consequently Sarah's children were closer to the Kirby's than to the Carters.
Buck lost an ear due to cancer. He died while living in the "poor house" in Wichita Falls. He is buried at Lakeview Cemetery, Wichita Falls, TX.
