David Leland Carter EAST AMWELL - David Leland Carter died peacefully with his family in attendance on April 30, 2010, after suffering a severe stroke. He was 82. After graduating from Phillips Exeter Academy in 1945, David served in the US Army as a medic, stationed in Germany. He was a member of the class of 1949, at Princeton University. David came to the Hopewell area in 1959. He spent nearly his entire business career in municipal bonds, working for a variety of firms in New York City, and retiring as a senior vice president for the Government Development Bank for Puerto Rico in its New York office. For 10 years after retirement, David and his wife, Hope, ran a small company renovating old houses. Retiring from that career, as an accomplished carpenter, he then went into local government, serving East Amwell Township in Hunterdon County for nine years, first on the planning board, and then as an elected member of the township council. He moved to East Amwell in 1983, and was particularly supportive of the preservation of land in the Sourland Mountains, placing over 60 acres of his own land into preservation. David was an enthusiastic sportsman, and enjoyed tennis, canoeing, and sailing. He and Hope also enjoyed traveling, and their enthusiasm for walking, and sailing, took them to many exotic climes throughout the world. They had recently returned from a sailing charter in the Sea of Cortez. David is survived by his wife, Hope Hemphill, whom he married in 1955; two daughters, Ann Carter Lyons and Alantha C. Carter; his son, Stephen W. Carter, and two grandchildren, David and Lane Mehltretter. He is also survived by his brother, Burnham Carter, and his sister, Alison Carter Mitchell.
