http://www.wvpioneers.com/getperson.php?personID=I50978&tree=WVPFrom Eric Jamieson ejam@shaw.ca: I am living in North Vancouver, Canada, and researching the 1958 collapse the Second Narrows Bridge (now called the Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing) in which 19 men were killed. Otmer Carpenter, born in West Virginia, was the superintendent on the bridge (he had nothing to do with its collapse). He was an interesting man and was nicknamed "High" for his love of heights. He was therefore known as High Carpenter. According to another engineer on the bridge, Otmer was from West Virginia and he worked all over the U.S. building bridges for various companies. As well, he worked in British Columbia for Dominion Bridge. I know he was about 80 in 1963, which would place his birth around the same date as your Otmer Carpenter, and was still working as a superintendent; then, on the Port Mann Bridge just outside of Vancouver. He then returned to the U.S. and had a home in South Los Angeles. He was disfigured quite badly from an electrical accident that occurred on a dam somewhere in the U.S. prior to his B.C. work experience. That's about all I know, but as he was in such demand as a super, and was well liked by the men. 1920 Multnomah, Portland Co, Oregon Carpenter, Otmer C, lodger, male, white, age 30, married WWI Civilian Draft Registrations Record about Otmer C.

Served in F Company, 28th Infantry Regiment, 1st Infantry Division. Died of Wounds 29 May 1918.1st Infantry Division - "Big Red One" - World War 1 - 1918
Four infantry regiments (16th, 18th, 26th and 28th) and three artillery regiments (5th, 6th and 7th) were ordered from the Mexican border in Texas to Hoboken, NJ, to board transports for France. On June 8, 1917, Brigadier General William Sibert assumed command of them as the “First Expeditionary Division.” Organized as a “square” division of more than 28,000 men, the First Division was twice the size of either the Allied or German divisions on the Western Front.The First Division won the first American victory in World War I at the Battle of Cantigny. Cantigny is a small village north of Paris, in the Picardy region of France. Held by the German Army, Cantigny formed a dangerous salient in the Allied lines. On May 28, 1918, the First Division attacked and defeated the German forces in the village and held it against repeated German counterattacks, despite suffering more than 1,000 casualties. The success raised the Allies’ morale, convinced the British and French that the Americans were capable of operating in independent fighting units, and disproved German propaganda about American incapacity.
https://www.fdmuseum.org/about-the-1st-infantry-division/history-of-the-first-division/28th Infantry Regiment - "Lions of Cantigny"
Since the establishment of the United States Army in 1775, three regiments have held the designation 28th Infantry Regiment. ... The third version of the 28th Infantry Regiment is the one that has the permanent designation and history, and is the one this article is about. ...
The regiment first saw combat service from December 1901 to January 1904 during the Philippine–American War where the regiment was heavily involved in counter-guerrilla operations. Upon returning to the U.S. the Regiment relieved the 14th Infantry at Fort Snelling. During the years 1906–1908, the regiment, minus one battalion, performed guard and police duty as part of the United States Cuban Occupation force.In 1913, the 28th Infantry was ordered to Texas to assist in guarding the Mexican border against raids by Pancho Villa. Following the entry of the US into World War I, the regiment was assigned on 8 June 1917 to the First Expeditionary Division which later became the 1st Division.
On 29 June 1917, the men of Company K became the first American combat unit to set foot on European soil at Saint-Nazaire, France.
During the Battle of Cantigny, the 28th attacked the Germans and earned the moniker; "The Black Lions of Catigny."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28th_Infantry_Regiment_(United_States)By April 1918, the Germans had pushed to within 40 miles of Paris. In reaction to this thrust, the Big Red One moved into the Picardy Sector to bolster the exhausted French First Army. To the Division’s front lay the small village of Cantigny, situated on the high ground overlooking a forested countryside. It was the 28th Infantry, who attacked the town, and within 45 minutes captured it along with 250 German soldiers, thus earning the special designation “Lions of Cantigny” for the regiment. The first American victory of the war was a First Division victory.
https://www.1stid.org/historyDEATH:
PFC Ralph Carpenter died 29 May 1918 at a US Army Field Hospital near Cantigny, Somme, Hauts-de-France, France.
His death was DUE TO WOUNDS (DW) received on 28 May 1918.The Battle of Cantigny, fought May 28, 1918 was the first major American battle and offensive of World War I. The U.S. 1st Division, the most experienced of the five American divisions then in France and in reserve for the French Army near the village of Cantigny, was selected for the attack.
At 06:45 [H Hour] on May 28, 1918, American soldiers of the 28th Infantry Regiment left their jump-off trenches following an hour-long artillery preparation. Part of the preparation was counter-battery fire directed at German artillery positions. A rolling barrage, advancing 100 meters every two minutes, was calculated to give the attacking troops time to keep up with it.
The 28th Infantry Regiment (Colonel Hansen Ely, commanding) plus two companies of the 18th Infantry Regiment, three machine-gun companies and a company of engineers (3,564 men), captured Cantigny from units of the German Eighteenth Army. The village was situated on high ground surrounded by woods, making it an ideal observation post for German artillery.

Battle
In 1923, The American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) erected 25 battle monuments, including one in the village of Cantigny that was dedicated on August 9, 1937.[7] At the unveiling of this monument, a speech was given (at the invitation of General John J. Pershing) by Col. Robert R. McCormick, who had commanded the 1st Battalion of the 5th Field Artillery Regiment at the battle. On one side of the memorial appears the inscription:ERECTED BY THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA TO COMMEMORATE THE FIRST ATTACK BY AN AMERICAN DIVISION IN THE WORLD WAR.
On another side of the memorial appears the inscription:THE FIRST DIVISION UNITED STATES ARMY OPERATING UNDER THE X FRENCH CORPS CAPTURED THE TOWN OF CANTIGNY ON MAY 28 1918 AND HELD IT AGAINST NUMEROUS COUNTERATTACKS.
French translations of these inscriptions appear on the opposite sides of the monument.

Wounded 867 <---- Those wounded but those who may have later died may not be on the rostor of the dead. It is often a question of when they died and which report they went on.First Division
A First Division Monument located along the road ½ mile southeast of Cantigny is one of five erected by the First Division itself in 1919. The names of the dead in the vicinity of Cantigny are engraved on the bronze plates. The monument is like a small concrete shaft, surmounted by a carved eagle of stone.

On May 28, 2008, the 90th anniversary of the Battle of Cantigny, the McCormick Foundation and the Association of the 28th Infantry Regiment dedicated the statue "The Lion of Cantigny," an original bronze work by Stephen Spears depicting a doughboy of the regiment advancing through the village. The 28th Infantry was the assault regiment in the First Division's attack, the first major US battle of World War I. The regimental coat of arms is based on the lions in the heraldic arms of Picardy, where Cantigny is; the regiment's nickname is Black Lions.

TWO-CAR CRASH TAKES LIFE OF MRS. CARPENTER
Mrs. W. H. (Pauline) Carpenter died at 2:15 yesterday in James Archer Smith Hospital of injuries suffered in a two-car collision late Wednesday afternoon at the intersection of Krome Rd. and Biscayne Dr. Arrangements are being made by Branam Funeral Home.
Mrs. Carpenter, who was alone in her car, was on her way home from the hospital where she was a nurse. Not believed seriously hurt, she took a turn for the worse at 4 o'clock Thursday morning. Police Sergeant John Arrant went to Miami for blood for a transfu-sion, but she failed to rally.
Mrs. Carpenter leaves her hus-band and a daughter Patricia Ann, 15, who make their home on Old Dixie Highway; her mother, Mrs. Lena Verostek of Ridgeway, Pa., three brothers and three sisters.
Born Pauline Elizabeth Verostek 41 years ago in Ridgeway, she trained in nursing at St. Vincent's Hospital in Erie, Pa. It was there that she met her husband who was hospitalized after an auto-mobile accident.
After their mar-riage, they lived in Akron where she nursed at City Hospital. The family came here seven years ago to make their home.
Mrs. Carpenter numbered her friends by the hundreds, many of whom were her patients. Rosary services will be held at Branam Funeral Home Sunday at 8 p.m. and funeral services will take place at 9 a.m. Monday at Cunt! Heart Catholic Church, of which Mrs. Carpenter was a mem-ber.
Rev. Fr. M. F. Mullaly will officiate. Interment will follow in Palm Cemetary, Naranja. R. Jim St. Germain of Miami, driver of the other car, escaped with negligible injuries but Mrs. Germaine is reported to be in a serious condition at the hospital.
