                   Notes: Taken from the History of the Carter Family written by Ellen (Ella) Winn Kessel, 1951-1952, aided by contributions from various members of the family. Ellen is the granddaughter of Joseph Demont Carter.

"Lucius had always farmed and assisted in running the saw-mill.  There was an abundance of timber on the first land Grandfather bought after coming to indiana and the demand for lumber increased as the years passed.  So after all the timber was used on one tract of land, he bought another tract, continuing this until he owned more than 800 acres.  He and the older boys farmed quite extensively for some years.  But when he was too old to be active on the farm or in the mill, the old home was razed, and a beautiful two-story residence was built on the same spot.
