Type: Obituary DEATH OF MRS. EUNICE CARPENTER HULETT


Died, at the residence of Mr. Newton Hulett in Western Armada, Jan. 1, 1892, Mrs. Eunice Carpenter Hulett of paralysis.


Deceased was born in Rutland county, Vermont, August 14th, 1808, being at the time of her death 83 years 4 months and 16 days old.  She with her husband and family came to Michigan in the spring of 1836 settling on the farm and living on the same place where she died.  She was one of the earliest settlers in that neighborhood, and passed through all the trials and hardships pertaining to an early pioneer life.

The deceased went to her daughter's (Mrs. John McCafferty) on Sept. 21, 1891, where she was strickened with disease which so prostrated her for a time as to make her almost helpless and was tenderly cared for by a loving daughter having every want and wish gratified that was possible to have.  But as she regained partial consciousness a great desire to get back to her hold home took possession of her, and no friends could quiet the desire to see her old home, so on Tuesday the 29th, of December, she was tenderly brought home and seemed to be quiet contented and happy, going to her bed on Thursday evening feeling as well as usual.  But on going to her bed on New Years morn it was to find that the spirit in the quiet and stillness of the night had taken its flight to its Heavenly Father passing away without a struggle and apparently while asleep.


Deceased was a member of the Methodist church, having united with said church at an early day. She was good christian and a fond and loving mother, and died thrusting in the promise of the Saviour. She leaves three sons and one daughter and a large circle of friends and relatives to mourn her loss.  Funeral services were held from the Bruce and Armada church on Sunday, Jan. 3, 1892, Rev. S.E. Warren officiating.

From what I understand Samuel Carpenter (#41863 in the CE CD 2001) was
married 3 times.  I believe I am from his wife Sabrina Perkins, but she was
supposed to have a daughter named Elizabeth but I have not proved that.  ( I
always look for proof!)  It does not look like you have any further info on
him (other wives and children).  Thanks for e-mailing me though and I will
keep your e-mail and when I can verify all the info on Samuel I will send you
the info so you can add it to your collection.
Are you interested in a picture I have of Samuel?  It is a rather large file
because I scanned it in the best quality possible.  Please e-mail me back and
let me know and I will e-mail picture, print & send picture or put it on a
disk and send.
Thanks again...   Shawn

Thanks for helping me out.  There was writing on the back of the picture
identifying it as Samuel Carpenter.  Also in the album was Lydia Churchill,

Almont; another buried Mt. Hope in Lapeer.

Type: Obituary Samuel Carpenter, of Carpenter's Station, died suddenly at his home Wednesday morning of heart disease.  Mr. Carpenter was a true christian gentleman, generous to a fault, and he would impoverish himself to help a worthy object or a needy friend.  He has seen life in its vicissitudes being at one time worth $100,000, but reverses overtook him in his lumbering operations and he died a poor man, but loved and respected by all who knew him, and the world is better on account of his having lived.  He was about 74 years.

Type: Obituary Oregon News Item.

We wish to thank friends and neighbors who so kindly assisted us during the sickness and funeral of our husband and father, and the Baptist choir of Lapeer for their services at the funeral. -- Mrs. S. Carpenter and family.
