The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, September 23, 1908
The following is clipped from the Pleasantville, Marion County News, and the
subject of the sketch is the father of PROF. CART, formerly at the head of
the Chariton schools.
Last Sunday WM. CART was one hundred years old; quite a number deemed it an honor to be present: 321 persons registered their names during the day.
Among those names several were present from Indianola, Milo and Dallas,
besides a few from several other places.
MR. CART was not able to take much part in the celebration, however he was
able to come on the porch for a little while.
Mr. Ed Guthrie from Indianola was present and gave a fine talk. Later in
the day he suffered a loss of memory. He was taken home in the evening. At
the last report he is improving.
