Edward William Raycroft, son of Eliza Connell and James Raycroft, was born in county Cork, Ireland, in 1854, and died at his home in Carter, S.D., of cerebral hemorrhage, Saturday, September 17, 1938.
He came to the United States in 1880, and was married in Chicago in 1883 to Miss Mary Jane Levis, who died in 1892. In 1895 he married Miss Emily Shawcroft. He was a motorman in the city of Chicago for many years previous to coming to the Rosebud in 1909, when his health demanded a change of climate.
Mr. and Mrs. Raycroft homesteaded north of Carter, afterward moving into the town where they have lived ever since with the exception of a year spent in Iowa. For the past fourteen years Mrs. Raycroft has been the postmistress in Carter, and for the past five years has taken care of Mr. Raycroft who has been in declining health. He suffered a stroke Wednesday night from which he never regained consciousness.
Mr. Raycroft was a substantial citizen, always interested in his community and the better things of life. In disposition he was genial and cheerful, a good friend and a faithful companion. He was a lifelong member of the Episcopal church and belonged to the I.O.O.F. His death is a distinct loss to his family and his community.
Funeral services were conducted at Trinity Episcopal church Tuesday afternoon by Rev. Alfred Haines, and the body was taken Wednesday to Chicago to be laid to rest in Oakwood cemetery.

Emily Raycroft
Mrs. Emily Raycroft, pioneer resident of Carter, passed to her eternal reward last Friday, November 16. She had been ill but a short time and her death was a severe shock to the community. She had been the postmistress for the past eighteen years, having retired two years ago.
Mr. and Mrs. Raycroft had been actively identified with the Carter community for many years until his death and since that time she has continued her interest in the community. She had a large circle of friends who mourn her loss, for she was genial and cooperative and will be sadly missed.
She was a life-long member of the Episcopal church and an active member of the Woman’s Club, the Extension Club and Willing Workers.
Funeral services were conducted at Trinity Episcopal Church in Winner, Sunday afternoon by Rev. Earl Kneebone and the body taken to Chicago Monday morning to be laid at rest in Oakwood Cemetery beside Mr. Raycroft.

Mrs. Emily Raycroft departed this life at the age of 72 years. She was born in England and came to Southeast Chicago in 1883. She was a member of Integrity Lodge No. 562, Daughters of Rebecca, Grand Crossing.
She and her husband, Edward, came to South Dakota in 1909 and homesteaded north of Red Hills, near Carter until 1923, then sold out to become postmistress at Carter, from which position she retired in 1943.
During her very full life, she was active in civic and community betterment. She led Red Cross and bond drives and was an assistant in local OPA. She was past president of the Carter Woman’s club, and a most active member. She also was a member of the Eastern Star in Winner and a member of the Willing Workers and of the Rebecca’s. She was the oldest past president of her Chicago district at the time of her death. At the time of her funeral in Chicago, the officers of the order attended and took part in the service. Mrs. Raycroft did practical nursing most of her life, and many a person is grateful for her ministrations. She and Mr. Raycroft visited Ireland and England for one year in 1919.
Mrs. Raycroft was a devout member of Trinity Episcopal church, in Winner, at which church, her many friends gathered to hear the burial service read by her minister, Rev. Earl Kneebone.
Interment was in Chicago, with Rev. L. Strauss officiating.
Preceding her in death are her husband, Edward Raycroft, a sister, the late Mrs. Catherine Faust, and two brothers, the late Joseph and George Shawcroft.
