His father was Charles Ketcham Carpenter, a farmer, and his mother was Jennette Coryell. His father-s ancestors were of English birth. He was a lineal descendant of William Carpenter, who came from Amesbury, England, and in 1637 settled at Providence, in Rhode Island. His mother-s ancestors, viz. the Coryells, were French Huguenots, driven from France in 1685 by the revocation of the Edict of Nantes.
He graduated at the Michigan Agricultural College in 1875 and at the Law Department of Michigan University in 1878. The first money he ever earned was by teaching school in a country district, and in this way he earned nearly all the money expended in getting through college. He commenced the practice of law in 1879 at Detroit, and had no other business until he went on the bench in January, 1894. During the period of his active practice he was associated at different times with .1. R. McLaughlin, under the firm name of Carpenter & McLaughlin, with Ovid N. Case, under the style of Case & Carpenter, and with Colonel John Atkinson.
Mr. Carpenter has been a Republican ever since he could vote, his first Presidential vote being for Hayes in 1876. He was a delegate to the Republican State Conventions in the spring of 1883 and 1889, and in the fall of 1886. 1890 and 1892. He was elected Judge of the Wayne Circuit Court in the spring of 1893 and again in 1899. The Judge is a member of the Detroit Club, Fellowcraft Club, Union Lodge of S. O., F. & A. M., and Michigan Lodge, I. O. O. F. He was married in Detroit, October 15th, 1885. to Miss Elizabeth C. Ferguson. They have two children, Lela and Rolla Louis.
At the polls Judge Carpenter is a great favorite with the voters, and on the bench he is popular, both with litigants and jurors. He gives the impression of entire independence of outside influence and absolute impartiality, and is very prompt and clear in his decisions. The Wayne Circuit Court has had many important civil cases, but very few that were more important or more hotly contested, than that brought by the heirs of the late Captain E. B. Ward against the trustees of the estate, charging fraud, and involving property valued at several million dollars. Several of the leading attorneys of Detroit and Chicago were engaged in the trial, which lasted six weeks, with voluminous evidence, and with complicated questions involved, yet the morning after the arguments were ended Judge Carpenter gave his decision, going into many details of the case, showing a quick comprehension of all its complications and intricacies, and the law applying to them, which was a marvel to many of the attorneys present.The Michigan alumnus, Volume 5, 1898-99, The inland Press, Printers, Ann Arbor, MI

In 1902 Judge Carpenter was elected an associate justice of the supreme court to fill out the unexpired term of Judge Long, deceased. The reputation he made on the circuit bench was repeated in the higher court, and in 1907 he was re-elected associate justice for the full term. Eight months later, however, he resigned from the supreme court in order to devote his time to practice. Since leaving the bench, Judge Carpenter has been a member of one of the leading law firms in the state, Stevenson, Carpenter & Butzel, with a practice in all the courts of the state and federal courts. In 1913 he received the degree of LL. D., from the University of Michigan.
Judge Carpenter is a member of the Detroit Bar Association, the Michigan State Bar Association and the American Bar Association, and affiliates with the Masonic Order, the Detroit Club, the Detroit Athletic Club, and other social and civic bodies in Detroit.
