I'm looking for family members of the JEREMIAH CARPENTER line. He came to Nebraska in 1882 and lived alone in Ellis, NE at the age of 97. Jeremiah's children were: H. F. CARPENTER, Los Angeles, CA., MARTIN L. CARPENTER (1854-1932), Beatrice, NE; LEVI CARPENTER, Polo, ILL; JOHN CARPENTER, Liberty, NE; JOSEPH D. CARPENTER (1860-1931), Rockford, NE, and THEODORE F. CARPENTER (1844-1925), Beatrice, NE. THEODORE'S children were: Charles Michael Carpenter (1885-1970), Beatrice city clerk; Harry Burke Carpenter (1869-1943), PA and CA; Mary Ann Carpenter Reynolds, (1870-1954) Beatrice; Della Viola Carpenter; Albert M. Carpenter (b. 1875); Grace Carpenter Beam (1879-1935); and Myley Carl Carpenter (b. 1883), Ellis, Beatrice, Lincoln. I am the granddaughter of Charles Michael (Charley or Chad) Carpenter. He was married to Mabel Carre' and their children were Wayne and Zach, both born in Nebraska. We have lost touch with the entire Carpenter family, except for Wayne's children in WA and ORE. I would love to hear from any relatives or friends.

Surnames: Carpenter, Cross, Sutton, Armstrong
The following is from pages 805, 806 of "History of Gage County, Nebraska" by Hugh J. Dobbs, published in 1918 in Lincoln, Nebraska by Western Engraving and Publishing Company: "J. D. CARPENTER is the owner of a well improved farm estate of two hundred and forty acres in Rockford township and while he has lived virtually retired for the past decade, he has been a specially successful exponent of agriculture and live-stock industry in the county that has represented his home for somewhat more than thirty years. He now resides in the city of Beatrice. "Mr. CARPENTER was born in Washington county, Maryland, May 12, 1851, and is a son of Jeremiah and Susan (CROSS) CARPENTER, the former of whom was born in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, in 1819, and who attained to the patriarchal age of ninety-eight years, his wife having been born at Boonesboro, Maryland, in 1833, and having been summoned to eternal rest in 1902, he having survived her by about seven years. Their marriage was solemnized at Greencastle, Pennsylvania, and in that locality they continued to reside until they had reared their children to adult age. After the Civil war, in the early '70s, they came to the west and numbered themselves among the pioneers of Gage county. Jeremiah CARPENTER purchased a farm near Pickrell and there continued his activities for a term of years, both he and his wife having been residents of the village of Ellis at the time of their death and he having been nearly eighty years of age when he left his farm and retired from the active labors that had long been his portion. This sterling couple became the parents of seven sons and two daughters and concerning those now living the following brief record is available: Henry, who was for many years engaged in contracting and building and who also achieved success as an apiarist, is now living retired in Los Angeles, California; Jonathan, a stonemason and contractor, resides at Liberty, Gage county; Theodore is a retired farmer residing in Beatrice; Levi is engaged in farming near Polo, Illinois; J. D., of this review, was the next in order of birth; Martin L. is a retired farmer residing in the city of Beatrice. "In his earlier life Jeremiah CARPENTER was a Democrat in politics, but he transferred his allegiance to the Republican party about the time of its organization and ever afterward supported its principles. His father, Henry CARPENTER, was born in Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, and continued a resident of the old Keystone state until his death. "J. D. CARPENTER gained his early education in the schools of Maryland and northern Illinois, and his first independent work in his youth was that of canvassing in the rural districts of Illinois. With the funds thus acquired he purchased ten acres of land in Noble county, that state, and after having cut and sold the timber on this tract he went to Minnesota, where he worked in the pine forests, in connection with pioneer lumber operations. There he was thus engaged during the winter seasons for a period of about five years, and in the summers he was employed on steamboats plying the Mississippi river. From Minnesota he went to Iowa, where he remained two years, and he then purchased land in Butler county, Kansas, where he continued his activities as a farmer for the ensuing thirteen years. In 1886 he came to Nebraska and established his permanent home in Gage county, where he puchased a partially improved farm of eighty acres, in Lincoln township. Two years later he bought one hundred and sixty acres in Rockford township. He has since added to his holdings until he now has a valuable estate of two hundred and forty acres. He now rents his farm property and, as before stated, is living practically retired. He erected the present buildings on his farm and has made it one of the attractive rural domains of the county. "In 1882 Mr. CARPENTER wedded Miss Elizabeth H. SUTTON, who was born in Appanoose county, Iowa, a member of a sterling pioneer family of that commonwealth, and of the five children of this union three are living: Howard is individually mentioned on other pages of this volume; Forrest is engaged extensively in cattle raising in Kearney county; Walter met his death in an automobile accident, in 1917; Milo is a resident of Logan township; and one child died in infancy. Mrs. CARPENTER was called to the life eternal March 10, 1917, a gentle and gracious woman whose memory is cherished by all who knew her, and she was a devoted member of the Methodist Episcopal church. "The character and ability of Mr. CARPENTER have made him influential in community affairs during the years of his residence in Gage county, and he has served as road overseer, besides having held for a term of years the office of justice of the peace, which under his administration was made to justify its name. In politics he is a staunch Republican." From pages 788, 789: "HOWARD CARPENTER, who is now a progressive and successful farmer and stock-grower in Rockford township, has been a resident of Gage county since childhood and is a scion of the third generation of the family in this section of Nebraska. Details concerning the family history appear on other pages, in the sketch of the career of his father, J. D. CARPENTER. "Howard CARPENTER was born in Butler county, Kansas, August 27, 1883, and was about five years old at the time of the family removal to Gage county, Nebraska, where he was reared on his father's farm and acquired his early education in the public schools. He has had no inclination to abate his fealty to the basic industries of agriculture and stock-raising and through the medium of the same has achieved in his independent operations definite success. His well improved farm comprises one hundred and twenty acres and is situated in Section 2 Rockford township, about seven and one-half miles distant from the city of Beatrice, which is his postoffice address, - rural mail route No. 5. In politics Mr. CARPENTER is found aligned in the ranks of the Democratic party and his progressiveness touches not only his activities as a farmer but also as a citizen. "May 3, 1909, recorded the marriage of Mr. CARPENTER to Miss Mabel Sallie ARMSTRONG, who likewise is a native of Nebraska, her father, William ARMSTRONG, having been a pioneer of Gage county and a prosperous farmer. Mr. and Mrs. CARPENTER have four children, - Hazel, Roy, Merle and Ruth."

Surnames: Carpenter
Hi. I am Jeremiah and Susan (Cross) Carpenter's Great Great Granddaughter. My mother was Joan Grant Grandfield; her mother was Olga Adrian McGirr; her grandmother was Ivy Estelle Carpenter, and Ivy's father was Martin Luther Carpenter. Martin was Jeremiah's and Susan's son. Here is a quote about Martin: Martin L. Carpenter Has by industry and perseverance acquired valuable property during his four years residence in Lincoln Township, having risen from moderate circumstances since his arrival in this county, in the spring of 1884. Previous to his residence here he lived in Beatrice for a few months, to which place he had come from Eagle Point, Ogle Co., Illinois. He was born near Hagerstown, Washington County, Maryland, on the 22nd of August, 1854, an disason of Jeremiah and Susan (Cross) Carpenter, the former of whom was a native of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and the latter of Washington County, Maryland. The parents were married in the latter-named place, and there made their home, a family of seven sons and two daughters growing up around them. In 1874 they came to Illinois, and made their home near Polo until they came to this state, and they are now making their home in Holt Township. The father is aged seventy, and the mother sixty-eight years, and they are members of the Church of God, enjoying in their later days the fruits of their early industry, and the esteem and friendship of the people of their community. Our subject spent the early years of his life in his native county, where he was educated in the public schools, and instructed in the duties pertaining to and agricultural life, after which he was united in marriage, near Greencastle, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, on the 27th of April, 1872, to Miss Anna Osbaugh. She was born in the above named city on the 14th of February, 1855, and is a daughter of William and Harriet (Ruthruaff) Osbaugh, the former of whom is now living near Springfield, Illinois, aged about threescore years. He is a cooper by trade, and in connection with that business he owns and has charge of a store. The mother of Mrs. Carpenter died while she was making a visit I Lee County, Illinois, in 1884, when she was about fifty-six years old. She and her husband were members of the German Reformed Church , and were highly respected all by all who knew them. Mrs. Carpenter passed her girlhood days in Greencastle, Pennsylvania, and as she grew to womanhood she completed her education in various branches of learning, and cultivated the womanly virtues which have made her so estimable a lady. In 1874 our subject with his wife and his father’s family moved to Ogle County, Illinois, where they remained for some time. They now have a family of four bright, intelligent children, whose names are Iva E., Zoe Adrian, Roy II, and Harley G. Since their residence here they have been prosperous and successful, and are rapidly becoming situated in a condition to enjoy life without so much hard labor, which speaks well for the industrious disposition and careful management of our subject. He is a genial and affable man, and has won a large circle of admiring friends by his kindly, considerate nature and his true, manly courtesy. He has held the office of Treasurer of his township with credit to himself and with satisfaction to the community, and where political matters are discussed he proves himself a well-informed and ardent Democrat.
