What the source supports

That Mrs. G. L. Carter of Berryville was named in 1923 as a daughter of William Andrew Johnston.

Uncertainty

Read from uncorrected OCR, not from the page image. She is known here only from her father's obituary, which gives her only by her husband's initials. The register's reading of a January 1923 item on a "Mrs. Grover Carter" as the same woman is not relied on. Her father has no record here.
