• Notes

  Married: Cartee married Mary Bell at Ceres, Pennsylvania, in 1855, and they had four children: Carrie (later Mrs. Fremont Wood), Ella, Ross, and Mary. After his wife's death in 1862 at The Dalles, Cartee came to Idaho. He erected the first sawmill at Rocky Bar in 1863, and attempted to bring in the first quartz mill, but the freight train was reportedly attacked by Indians and the mill was abandoned. He brought his family to Boise in 1866 and began construction of an impressive home on Grove Street. He was appointed Surveyor General in 1866, serving until about 1880. Cartee began his nursery work soon after moving to Boise, building the city's first greenhouse in 1871. For the next twenty years he imported trees, flowers, and shrubs from the Eastern United States and from China, India, and Japan. Bringing tender trees and plants to early Boise was a major and risky undertaking, as they could be shipped by rail only as far as Kelton, Utah, then had to be hauled by freight wagon. Cartee planted most of his twenty-four acres between Grove Street and the river, and grew enough fruit and vegetables to produce 30,000 cans a year in his cannery. His nursery and orchard were important sources of plants and trees for many Boise Valley growers between 1870 and 1890. Lafayette Cartee, who possessed the seemingly contradictory titles of "General" and "father of the nursery business in Idaho," died in Boise on September 2, 1891.
