Lewis C. CarpenterBENNINGTON -- Lewis “Lewie” C. Carpenter, 91, a lifelong resident of Bennington, died on June 20, 2003. He was born on Sept. 13, 1911, the son of Charles A. Carpenter (1874-1951) and Bessie Elmina Upham (1877-1953), both of Bennington. A warm and generous person, he was a loving husband, father, and a participant in the commercial and musical life of Bennington. After the death of his wife, Lestina, in 1997, Lewis was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. He was cared for at his home on Putnam Street by his daughters and by many caregivers, including personnel of Bennington Home Health, until June 2002. Thereafter, he resided at the Bennington Health and Rehabilitation Center until his death. Lewis was a member of the First Baptist Church, where he had served on the board of deacons and on the board of trustees. Since 1934, he was a mason belonging to the Mount Anthony Lodge 13. He was also a member of the barbershop quartet organization SPEBSQSA and Bennington Moviemakers. Growing up on Carpenter Lane, in the Lyons District of northeast Bennington, Lewis had an affinity for the outdoors, taking long hikes, riding horseback, fishing and observing birds. Like his siblings, Kenneth, Carleton and Elizabeth, he got to be a gifted teller of stories, and a musician. Principally a piano player, he also sang, played drums, guitar or saxophone with various musical groups. He played drums with a dance band at the Equinox, performed with a group called “Bertha's Melody Boys,” and other groups, was a substitute organist at the Masonic Lodge, and sang in a barbershop quartet group called the Monumentors (Bennington Banner, March 14, 1959). Lewis continued his enthusiastic piano playing of music, even in recent years after Alzheimer's disease had robbed him of his story-telling skills. Graduating from Bennington High School in 1930, he was class president, editor of The Catamount, director of the jazz band, and “writer of girl's prophesies.” Though accepted at a university, conditions necessitated his joining the family business, Theo. A. Carpenter and Sons, begun by his grandfather in 1892. A paint, hardware and lumber concern, this business occupied the unique block building at Main and Safford streets, and others in the area. Staying in the business until 1962, he then worked for Sprague Electric for two years and then for Sherwin Williams Paint before retiring in the 1970s. In 1940, Lewis married Lestina E. Wheeler of Whitingham and Colerain, Mass., a graduate of Simmons College, who then worked as a librarian in New York City. Their first daughter, Priscilla was born in 1943, before his military service began, and the second, Janet, after his return from the service. The family enjoyed traveling together, often took vacations on the coast of Maine. Lewis had a detailed memory for the back roads of Vermont, which he loved to roam in his convertible. Inducted into the army in 1943, Lewis engaged in combat as an infantryman (Company L, 112th Infantry Regiment, 28th Division) in the Battle of Huertgen Forest in Germany in November 1944. Seriously wounded, he was taken prisoner and held in a camp near Stuttgart for six months. For several agonizing months after his capture, his family knew only that he was missing in action. A fellow prisoner, Abbe Robert Javalet, a chaplain in the French army who was allowed to help the wounded Americans, became a lifelong friend, visiting Bennington in 1967. Javalet, who became a professor at the University of Strasbourg, recalled the American prisoners' arrival at the camp as a great event for the long-time prisoners of other nationalities because of the Americans' buoyant spirit. In a book he wrote about the prison camp, he noted that “Carpenter had lost use of his leg, but not his smile.” The leg wound eventually healed, but a finger was lost. For his service, Lewis was awarded the Purple Heart, Oak Leaf Cluster and a European Campaign ribbon with three bronze battle stars. Lewis is survived by his sister, Elizabeth (Crawford) McCarthy of Spokane, Wash.; daughters, Priscilla A. Carpenter of Bennington and Janet G. Gram of Rochester, N.Y.; son-in-law Roger Gram of Rochester; nieces Betty-Jim Phelps of Williamstown, Mass. and Betty Joyce McDonald of Williamsville, N.Y.; nephews Ethan Crawford Jr. of Seattle, Charles Crawford of Spokane and Carleton Carpenter Jr.; and grandnieces and nephews. Cousins residing in Bennington are J. Russell Carpenter and his son John Carpenter.
Lewis Carpenter's Upham ancestors were in Bennington by 1817 or earlier, according to town records. Ebenezer Upham (1764-1834) had been a soldier in the Revolutionary War. Other Bennington ancestors include Betsy Morse, who lived in the early 1800s and Susan Elmina Nichols (1840-1906) born in Petersburgh, N.Y. Lewis' grandfather Theodore A. Carpenter (1845-1928) served in the Civil War, married Emma A. Kelley, and moved to Bennington from Rensselaer County, N.Y., where several generations of ancestors had lived. Theodore's parents were James Carpenter (1822-1899) and Rachel Ostrander (1828-1912). James was the son of John Carpenter (1793-1857), a blacksmith, and Sarah Ostrander (1793-1863). The Ostrander line is known back to a 1660 immigrant to New Amsterdam from Holland, an employee of the Dutch East Indies Company. Funeral services will be held at the First Baptist Church in Bennington on Tuesday, June 24 at 1 p.m. with the Rev. Norma Drosky, pastor, officiating. Interment will follow in the Carpenter family lot in Park Lawn Cemetery. There are no calling hours. Memorial gifts may be made to the Bennington Free Library, Alzheimer's Association of Vermont, the Vermont Nature Conservancy or the charity of one's choice in care of the Hanson-Walbridge Funeral Home, P.O. Box 957, Bennington, VT 05201.

This family line submitted by John E. Proctor (brn 1933) of Stillwell KS 4/96
Stanley Proctor was born on the Pommischackle farm on Warren road,
Plymouth, Mi. He was Married June 28th, 1929 to Lucille Latson.He has written a long and detailed history of his life, as far back as he
can remember, starting in 1908, with details of many events up into the 1960s.He told me that once his father, Harvey, took him to a spot on the Rouge
River in Dearborn, owned at that time by Henry Ford and the site now of the
Rouge river park way, and there were the remains of a log cabin. Harvey
told Stanley that the remains were the home of his fathers first cabin when
he came here from England. This is not accurate, as we know that Harveys
father did not come from England, but his fathers father did. No doubt it
was the cabin of the first Samuel Proctor we have, who did arrive in the 1840s?
from England. The Plat map we have from 1850? does show land owned by Samuel
Proctor at this location.In addition to the Memories written by Stanley, the information below provides
a time line for some gaps in that history.

--------FULL DOCUMENTATION IN STANLEYS MEMORIES BOOK FROM HERE ON--------
Birth certificate recorded in county of Washtenaw, Ann Arbor MI, Book
V, page 650 on Sep 22, 1905Lucile graduated from Ann Arbor High School in the class of 1923. She
enrolled at MI Agriculture College in the fall of 1923, majoring in Home
Economics with a teaching degree. At the conclusion of her sophmore year in
1925 she took a 3 week summer course at MI Normal College in Ypsilanti to
qualify for teaching in country schools. This was done to enable
would be teachers, going to college, an opprotunity to teach in a country
school where teachers were needed, and to enable county school boards to have
someone fill in if they couldn't get a teacher. Lucile stayed out of school
that year, 1925/26 and taught in the Superior-Town Line school on the
Superior-Townline Road in the Ann Arbor School District.Early in the fall her attention was directed to several students named Proctor
who were not comming to school. Upon checking she found out that their
father, Harvey Proctor, was not allowing his older children to
come to school. She sent word to him that he should come to school and
visit with her in an attempt to get the children into school. He did
that and tried to convience her that the harvesting of potatoes & cucumbers
were more important than school in the fall. She didn't agree and
subquently reported the absence of these children to the Ann Arbor
School Board. They summoned Harvey to meet with them and submit his
reasons for not having the children in school. He did so and they let
him keep the children out but he had to promise that he wouldn't plant
the crops needing fall harvesting in the future. (This was OK with
Harvey as he moved the family regulary and wasn't in the Ann Arbor
School district the next year.) Once the children did start school they loved
the new teacher, one of the Proctor children, Mabel Proctor, came home raving
about her and finally convienced her brother Stanley to call on her. He did so
and asked her to attend a Sunday School Picnic. She accepted and the
courtship started and in June of 1929 they were married.Lucile went back to MI Agriculture College in the fall of 1926 to
complete her courses in Home Economics. Apparently the romance between
Lucile and Stanley was serious enough that she told him that she wouldn't
conseder marrying any one who didn't have a college education. Stanley had
not completed the 8th grade at that point, however he had worked on the farm
all his life, was very intellegent and had a lot of common sense. He was
informed that the MI Agricultural College had a Short Course for farm
boys that didn't have the time to go to the regular College. He went there in
the late fall of 1926, the terms were started November 1st, and ended april 1st
so that the boys could get back onto the farm. He did very well and he
therefor applied and was accepted in Nov of 1927 for the 2 year Short Course in
Agricultural Crop and Dairy production . Of course Lucile was there and they
continued going together. While they were at MAC the name was changed to
MI State College, the students were instrumental in building the student
union and the football stadium was built.Lucile graduated in the spring of 1928. She accepted a teaching job in
Bloomingdale MI, on the west side of the state, west of Kalamazoo about
25 miles. She taught there for one year and then was married to Stanley
Proctor on June 28th 1929. They moved back to the Latson farm where Stanley
was farming on shares with Henry, Luciles brother. This arrangment didn't
work out and they soon left, moving to Salem MI, where Stanley got a job on the
new cement road going from Ann Arbor to Brightion MI, US 23. Within 2
years Stanley got a job managing the J.W. Wilford Farm near Stockbridge MI,
putting to use his college training, and Lucile quit teaching to have a
family. John was born in March of 1933.Luciles second teaching job began in 1940. Teachers
were in short supply then and the opportunity presented it's self. She was
living near Rochester MI then, on the Henry Gallager farm which Stanley
was managing.
John Proctor was in the 2d grade and Nancy was at home yet. She made a deal
with the school that if Nancy could go to Kindergarden all day she would teach
High School Home Economics. This worked out and her teaching career started.
She latter taught in Northville, South Lyon and then retired from teaching, due
to heart problems, from the Livonia School System in 1969.Following her retirment she and Stanley traveley extensively. They purchased
An Avion travel trailer, going to Florida in the winter, and to many Avion
Travel Club trips during the summer. The were living in South Lyon MI by
this time. Her last trip was the Avion summer rendezvous in Canada. They
joined the trip north of Souix Saint Marie Ontario Canada and went with them
towards the findal rendezvous in Vancouver B.C. They stopped in many
interesting places, made the Calegory Stampede and then on to Vancouver. When
arriving in Vancouver one of the major attractions were the flower gardens on
Vancouver Island. On August 1st, 1967 they took the ferry boat to the Island,
Dad related that they were on one side of the boat, and apparently something or
some special view was apparent on the other side of the boat, so she ran to
the other side of the boat so she wouldn't miss it, that was too much for
her heart, and it failed, she had a severe stroke. The ship hurried to the
pier, there were medical people waiting but it was too late, she was alive
when she left the ship, but they couldn't save her in the hospital. She was
gone, and Stanley was left alone. It took him some time to have the body
shipped back, but he was luckey and had some good people to help him and
finally the body came back. It was however shipped into Windsor Ont, CA, and
the funeral director from South Lyon had to go there to get it.Her first grandchild was born on Feb 28 1959, Tobin Proctor and she
was the proudest grandmother anyone had ever seen. On his first Christmas in
1959 the presents overflowed the room. She had a second grandchild, Reid
Simpson, born in 1960, a third, Cindy Simpson born in 1962
and a fourth Bradley Proctor born in 1964. She was in the hospital
when Bradley was born, the result of her first heart attack and it was decided
to not tell her he was very ill at birth, she wasn't told about
his near death until much later. Her 5th grandchild, Sally Simpson was born in
1967, and Lucile went up to see her the week before they left on what was to be
her last trip.Lucile passed away due to a stroke on August 1, 1967. She was stricken
while on the ferry boat crossing the channel from Vancouver British Columbia to
Victoria on Vancouver Island. They had planned on an outing with the travel
club to visit the famous gardens on the island. Stanley had some trouble
shipping the body back from Canada, it took 10 days, but due to some very
helpfull people in Vancouver it was all accomplished with not too much trouble.
She was buried in the family plot in Washtenaog Cemetery on Whitmore Lake
Road, the cemetary her father had worked in for many years, the land which her
grandfather had purchased many years previously.
