In May, 1909, Susie A. Carter was one of eight African American women who passed the licensing examination for midwives required by the Louisiana State Board of Medical Examiners. A month later, a Times-Picayune article included her in the list of trained nurses working at the newly opened Negro Baptist Seminary. She appears in each of the federal censuses from 1910-1940, listed as a nurse, either in private business or employed in a hospital. We know that she owned her home at 123 N. Roman St. She died in 1952, at the age of 75.
