Early life and family edit

Cater was born in New Canaan on June 19, 1813.[3][2] He graduated at Yale College in the year of 1836.[3][2] He studied law with Thomas B. Osborne in Fairfield, and was admitted to the Fairfield County bar in August 1839.[3][2] He practiced law in New York City in 1841.[3][2] He was married the same year.[3][2]

In 1847, he moved to Norwalk, and formed a law partnership with Thomas B. Butler, who was later appointed to the Connecticut Supreme Court.[3][2] He continued in the partnership until 1855.[3][2]

He was a member of the Connecticut House of Representatives in the years 1850, 1861 and 1862, and the last year was Speaker of the House.[3][2]

He was the candidate of the Whig Party for the office of Lieutenant Governor in 1856.[3][2]

He was appointed State Attorney for Fairfield County in 1862 and held the office until his death.[3][2]

On two occasions he declined to be a candidate for a judgeship in the Superior Court, when it was urged upon him by his political friends then in power.[3][2]

He died in Norwalk on March 21, 1868.[3][2]
