Daily National Intelligencer – 9 August 1856
Died
recently, in Orange county, Virginia, in the thirty first year of his age, Dr.
Cassius Carter, of Prince William.
The
deceased had been united in marriage but a few hours to an accomplished young
lady when, amid the innocent festivities common to such occasions, he was
arrested by the hand of death. The mysterious
dispensation filled many hearts with the sincerest grief.
The
deceased was a young man of great promise, fine talents, inflexible morals, and
ardent piety, and beloved by an extensive circle of relatives. He had quite recently settled as a
practitioner of medicine at Brentsville, Prince William, where he commanded an
extensive practice. His kindness to the
poor, especially in sickness, was untiring and disinterested. He was an ornament to society and a most
useful member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In lamenting his death his friends derive
profound consolation from the fact that he was duly prepared for an exchange of
worlds, and he the expressed the most perfect acquiescence in the Divine
will. Our loss was his gain.
