hotel was built in 1883 by C. W. Ewbank and was operated for several
years under the name Bellwood House.
The first operator of the hotel was George Dittenhaver who operated it
from1882 to1888 when it was sold to Judd Carpenter. His daughter Reatha
Hall recalled that all the carpenters building the Bellwood School in
1890 stayed at the hotel.
In the early decades of the town nearly all the business people, dealers,
salesmen and others interested in purchasing good farm land arrived in
Bellwood on one of two daily passinger trains. If they had no family in
the town they stayed at the hotel.
In 1925 Judd deeded the hotel to his daughter, MABLE JUDEVINE, who ran it
until 1927. Then it was managed by Mable's daughter ARNOLA and her

Library. Notes Taken From The Bellwood Methodist Centennial Book:
1892: "Rev. Smith persuaded the church to build an addition. E.L.
Carpenter, a skilled craftsman, who operated a carriage shop was chosen
as foreman to construct a new wing on the south side of the church, using
mostly volunteer labor. The wing was 50 ft. long and 16 ft. wide. The
south wall was mostly removed up to a height of 12 ft. A wooden truss
was built to support the 50 ft. gap in the wall. When the church was
torn down 70 years later workmen marvelled that this trusswork was so
well designed that there was no sag in the wall. Ten feet tall folding
doors were designed and installed in the wall so that the south room
could be closed off when desired. Above the doors a row of colored
leaded windows were installed so that light would pass through when the
doors were closed."
1894: Eugene bought the Carpenter Family Burial Plot, at Bellwood
Cemetary. His mother, Elizabeth (Warner) Carpenter was the first member
of the family to be buried there. (Source: Bellwood Cemetary Record )
From the Bellwood Gazette:April, 26, 1901: "The parsonage at St.
Mary's Church in the valley will undergo a through overhauling. E.L.
Carpenter will do the Carpenter work..... Dec. 6, 1901 "Gene Carpenter

north of his present tenant house."
*Grandpa Randall was Eugene's father-in-law.
1901: "Eugene Carpenter conducts a wagon shop and has been in Bellwood 17
or 18 years. He is also a good carpenter and many of the fine residences
that dot the valley east of Bellwood are his handiwork. Gene is well
liked in this community and always has all the work he can attend to. "

Maj. George Oliver Carpenter, one of Boston's best known

He was the son of George and Mary Bentley (Oliver) Carpenter.
His parents were also natives of Boston and connected with the

schools and in the famous old Eliot school, from which he was
graduated in 1840. He was one of the six to receive the

director of the Eliot National bank of Boston for more than 25
years, and for 40 years or more was a director of the National
bank of South Reading, now Wakefield, where he once resided. He
had always been associated with numerous local organizations,
and had been greatly interested in Boston's institutions,
commerce, literary and social life.
At the age of 15 he was librarian of the Boston Mercantile
Library association, which position he held for two years. He
was connected with the Charitable Mechanic association since
1870. He was one of the incorporators of the South End
Industrial school and a member of its finance committee. He had
been a member of the Boston board of Aldermen, and was one of
the trustees of the Boston public library in 1870 and 1871. He
was an early member of the Old School Boys' association and its
president in 1886 and 1887. He was one of the orators and first
president of "The Vowels", a club of past presidents of the
Eliot School associations, also a director of the Bostonian
society; was one of the original members of the Paint and Oil
club, its president in 1891-2; was an early member of the
Commercial club, also a member of the Art, Algonquin and
Exchange clubs.
In early and middle life he was greatly interested in military
affairs, and when but 16 years of age he joined the
,MA Volunteer Militia as a private in the old
Washington Phalanx. During his residence in Wakefield from
1847-61 Mr. Carpenter organized the Richardson Light Guards. At
this time he was Adjutant of the Seventh Regiment Militia, and
in 1858 he became Brevet Major of the Second Brigade, under Gen.
Joseph Andrews. Ten years later, in 1868, he was commander of
the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company. He was also
commander of the Old Guard of ,MA, an organization
composed of past and present commissioned officers of the State
militia. He was thirty-third degree Mason. He was married in
South Reading in 1850 to Miss Maria Josephine Emerson. They had
two sons, George 0., Jr., manager of the St. Louis department of
