Carter, Prof. Paschal, was born in Benson, Vt., Sept. 17, 1807. His father was Josiah Carter, a Revolutionary soldier and sea-captain, and his mother, Charlotte De Angelis, was of Italian descent. After persistent toil he entered Middlebury College, Vt., in 1825, and graduated with honor in 1829. On leaving college he became tutor in Columbian College, Washington, D. C., and was subsequently principal of the Keysville Academy, N. Y., agent of the Philadelphia Baptist Tract Society, and principal of the Academy of South Reading, Mass., one of the largest and most flourishing schools of that day. In 1832 he became Professor of Mathe- matics and Natural Philosophy in Granville Col- lege, O., and remained in this position over twenty- two years. During part of this time he taught the ancient languages and other branches, and most of the time he was the college treasurer,—a difficult and responsible position. In 1854 he resigned his chair at Granville, and accepted a similar position in Georgetown College, Ky. After an interim of two years spent in business life he became, in 1858, president of Central Collegiate Institute, Ala., where he remained until 1861. Since 1861 he has been living at Centralia, Ill., engaged in mercantile pursuits. From the Baptist Encyclopedia by William Cathcart
