ROY LEWIS CARTER, M. D., a well-known physician of Louisville, Kentucky,
was born on a farm in Oldham county, Kentucky, September 14, 1873.  He is
the son of Joseph Wilson and Fanny (Ingram) Carter, both natives of
Oldham county, Kentucky.  The paternal grandfather was Stephen O. Carter,
a native of Virginia, and his wife, also a Virginian, was Susan Maddex.
The maternal grandfather was Colonel William Ingram, a native of Kentucky,
who was a large farmer and slave owner.  He married Rebecca Hitt, who was
born in Oldham county, the daughter of Joseph Hitt.  She is still living
in Oldham county, in her eighty-sixth year.  The parents of the Doctor
were married on the old Ingram homestead in Oldham county, and they became
the parents of the following children: James Scott, on the old home place
in Oldham county, Kentucky; Dr. Carter, subject; Susan May, and Ingram.
The mother was born July 31, 1851, and died October 24, 1903.  The father
of the Doctor was born July 21, 1846, and has followed farming all his life
in Oldham county.  The Carters have always been Baptists in their religious
faith, while the Ingrams have been allied with the Christian Church.
     Dr. Roy Lewis Carter secured his early education in the Oldham county
schools.  He came to Louisville in 1890 and worked as a clerk for the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad Company from 1890 to 1895.  Having made
up his mind to make the medical profession his life study, he, in 1895,
entered the Hospital College of Louisville, Kentucky from where he was
graduated in June, 1898.  He entered into the practice of medicine in
Louisville and found his ambitions were justified with the success of
his endeavors, and if a successful and growing practice is an earnest of
the future he has every reason to be satisfied with his outlook toward
his future business life.
     Dr. Carter is a member of the Jefferson County Medical Society, the
Kentucky State Medical Society, the Masonic Order and the Junior Order of
American Mechanics.  He is a member of the Board of Trustees of the
Baptist Orphan's Home, and a member of the Long Run Baptist Mission Board.
In March, 1891, the Doctor joined the East Baptist church and was elected
and ordained deacon of the church in 1898, also serving as church clerk
from 1908 until he left that church on January 1, 1910.  At the present
time he is a member and Deacon of Highland Baptist church.
     Dr. Carter married Miss Addie Matilda Plaster, who was born in Owen
county, Kentucky, the daughter of William M. and Sarah E. Plaster, the
marriage taking place on October 4, 1892, in Louisville.  They have two
children, Weible Stewart Carter, born October 18, 1893, graduated from
the Louisville Male High School on June 16, 1910, receiving a gold medal
in chemistry; William Taylor Carter, was born July 14, 1899.
