William Furlsbury Carter (1811-1888) – Published Ad
Here’s an interesting little tidbit I came across online while doing a Google search for images related to William Furlsbury Carter. It was linked from a site by Devin Thorp and includes a section on William F. Carter with a short biography.
William Furlsbury Carter is my 3rd Great Grandfather through his wife Roxena Mecham and their daughter Junietta Carter who married John Henry Wall.
It mentions in his history that “…he was a blacksmith, wagon-smith, horse-shoer, mechanic and a carpenter. He repaired musical instruments, guns, watches, clocks, he forged knives and tools of all kinds, made hobbies, chins and parts for broken equipment…” So I was excited to find what looks to be an notice or classified advertisement place in an unknown paper (Probably Utah) the 29th of November, 1851.
It reads:
BLACKSMITHING.
THE subscriber is prepared to shoe Horses and
Oxen, &c., at his residence, 2nd Ward, and
will take wood, lumber, &c., in exchange.
