PARENTS: Possible error in parents!
Eunice Drucilla Carpenter -- I think this is the daughter of James
Warren Carpenter, Jr., not of Warren Lorenzo Carpenter. Warren Lorenzo did
have a daughter named Eunice who was born in 1897, but I suspect the two are
different.
NOTE: In reviewing the data both "Eunices" had the same birth and death data.
Thus I am noting this one as only Eunice born 1897 until further info.

John -
... you have Benton marrying two Edna’s. My bet is that even then, Edna was not a common name. But that did not happen and I know because not only was I very aware of his marital status (single) in 1960, but the rest of the family is as flummoxed as me. He did marry some gold-digger that ran off with several million dollars after less a year of marriage, but no kids and that was in the mid 1970s. I believe that marriage was annulled.
Benton married Edna Bond and she died in 1955 of blood cancer (the year I was born). He was never divorced. If you have documentation contradicting this, we are not talking about the same Benton or Edna. But don’t you think it just a tad odd that he would marry another Carpenter? He was a very morally and ethically strict man who was a hard core farmer. If he saw this, he would be turning over in his grave.
Somewhere I have Edna Bond’s death certificate and it clearly says she did not die of divorce. Next time you are working near page 682, please correct this.
Additionally, you have my father’s birthdate wrong. William B Carpenter Sr – 162949 was born July 4th 1930 along with his twin brother Robert. I have never heard of twins born 3 days apart, but ask me how we know my father and Robert were twins.. I bet you can’t guess.
My father, William B Carpenter Sr – 162949, died September 17th, 2020. He died of an accidental fall and also did not die of divorce.
LATER HE ADDS ...
Both my parents were cremated and their ashes scattered in the Pacific Northwest, per their wishes.
We posted an obit for my mother, but not my father. We had a memorial service for my mother at a funeral home they had purchased plots in, but we converted those plots to cremation services. My father’s memorial service was virtual only because of covid – which worked out better since most of his family is spread out across the country and world.

BURIAL: Macedonia Prim Bap Cemetery.
NAME: Name uncertain.
They had at least 7 children. Number 7 was a daughter who marred Frank
Patterson.
MARRIAGE: Married in Clay county, AL by W.N. HAYNES mg, Judge WIlbur B. NOLEN.Edward Homer Hampton - born in Clay Co., AL.
Sometime after his marriage, Homer rearranged his name from Edward Homer to
Homer Edward. Although Homer died at Citizen's Hospital in Talladega, AL,
his home at the time was in Anniston, AL. He had a disease called
myelofibrosis. This disease, similar to leukemia, is passed through the
females to their male children.
Homer loved the church, but he loved his Lord even more. He was
ordained a deacon by Bellview Baptist Church in 1936. He believed in the
literal interpretation of the Bible. One time, the church he belonged to at
the time, Leatherwood Baptist Church in Anniston, was voting on new deacons.
One of them, larry Jennings, was married, but had no children. The scripture
in I Timothy 3:12 says: ". . . ruling their children and their own homes
well." If he had no children, he couldn't rule them well. Therefore, Homer
voted against him.
According to his daughter Sara, "One of the highlights in Daddy's life
was being able to help organize and build the first Bellview Baptist Church
(in Lineville, AL). The services were held in our home for a long time while
the church was being built. Mama had an old pump organ which she loved to
play so this provided our music. It was in this church that I later accepted
Christ as my Savior." According to records obtained from the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary, the church was organized in 1942. Homer was
the Sunday School superintendent for several years and was also one of the
messengers to the Associational meeting. From Bellview, they moved to Good
Hope Baptist Church.
During the war, he would ride a bus from Clay County to Talladega,
Talladega Co., to work in a war plant.
Homer worked night shift at the Alabama Water Pipe Plant in Anniston.
During revival and on Sunday mornings when he had to work, he would come home
and sleep a couple of hours. Then he'd get up and go to church. He and
Lessie always had the preachers over to eat at least once during revival,
whether it be the lunch meal or the supper meal.
In the late 1960s, he developed myelofibrosis. Even on his bad days, it
seemed as though he was in church. Charles Rutherford, pastor of Leatherwood
Baptist Church at the time of his death, said that he had vivid recollections
of Homer's last day at church. The service was really good that morning, and
Homer really seemed to be enjoying it. He said that suddenly the Lord
revealed to him that Homer would not be at church again. He breathed a
prayer that Homer would be especially blessed that day. He was.
Although he did not drink later in life, he did drink a great deal when
he was young. The change came when someone picked him up out of a ditch
drunk. He never, apparently, drank again. However, he did smoke and loved
his Camels. People would get on to him about smoking, but he always replied
that when God convicted him of smoking, he would quit. he never did. The
last week he lived, he had to be hooked up to oxygen so that he could
breathe; nevertheless, he begged for a cigarette.
Even though he smoked, he didn't want his grandchildren to smoke. So,
he tried to teach them early the results of smoking. When Elaine (Ruby's
daughter) and Ronnie (Sara's son) were both young, they managed to get his
cigarettes off of the refrigerator. After much pleading, he let them smoke
some. Another time is related by Ronnie: "My favorite memory of Grandad
Hampton goes back to when I was about 4 years old. . . .Grandad was smoking
one of his non-filtered cigarettes and I wanted to be like him. 'Please,
please, let me have one.' 'No! No!' But I continued to pester him until he
finally relented -- assuring me that I would not like it. No matter, I had
to have a Grandad cigarette -- Puff-puff. Turn green -- Dizzy -- Extreme
nausea -- Foul taste. Thank you to this day, Grandad, for my lasting
impression of cigarettes."
Homer was very special to all of his grandchildren, but perhaps more so
to Pam (Pauline's youngest daughter). Pam stayed with them through the week
while Pauline worked; on weekends, she went home with her mom. Homer taught
her how to ride her tricycle. He put her feet on the pedal and would push
one foot down and then the other until she learned to ride. After he died
when Pam was only six, she told Lessie that she wished she could walk on the
golden streets with him.
Elaine related that on a trip to the grocery store with Homer, she
stayed in the car while he went into the store. She began playing around and
knocked the car out of gear. It started rolling back into the street. Homer
got there first and stopped the car. She says, "But you know, he didn't whip
me. Just hugged me 'cause I didn't get hurt."
When he ate oatmeal, he would break his toast into bits and drop them in
the oatmeal. Then he would dip the oatmeal and toast out together to eat
them. He also loved hot pepper and would always have some in his garden. He
always had a garden until he became so ill that he couldn't work it.
When his first granddaughter (Sharon) got married, he wouldn't attend
the wedding. He said he had been to one wedding and that was enough.
Lessie and Homer were supposed to get married in the spring despite
objections from both mothers. (They were third cousins, and the mothers
insisted that something would be wrong with their children.) Homer had saved
up about $500. A friend, Genie Burchfield, wanted him to sink the money into
a cotton crop. Genie said they could make a lot of money and for him not to
listen to what Lessie had to say. Homer loved Lessie and wanted her to share
in the decision. So he asked her about using the money for the crop. She
told Homer that until they got married, the money was his to do with as he
pleased. He put the money into the cotton crop. But cotton sank to $.05 a
pound. They didn't even make enough money to pay for what they had bought.
Because of this, Homer and Lessie didn't get married until the fall.
When their children were very small, Lessie wanted a sewing machine.
Homer worked in a field for a man and earned $.50 a day in order to pay for
her a Singer treadle sewing machine. It is currently in a grandson's
possession.
