COMMENT:
It is assumed that Emory and Woodward Township Cemteries are the same, One just being an older name. The marker for Jessie B. (in WTC) is a small fragment and free standing stone. This means it is NOT anchored to the ground and may be more of a memorial marker.

CHAPTER LII.
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
BOROUGH OF JERSEY SHORE, AND PORTER, WATSON, MIFFLIN (INCLUDING SALLADASBURG), AND PIATT TOWNSHIPS.
JESSE B. CARPENTER, second son of John and Mary Carpenter, was born October 10, 1813, in Woodward township, Lycoming county. He was reared upon the old homestead, and received such an education as the common schools of that period afforded. After he grew to manhood he and his brother secured the patent for the tract entered by his grandfather, a portion of which is still owned by members of the family. In 1866 he purchased his present home of 125 acres in Piatt township, where he has since resided. Mr. Carpenter was married May 20, 1847, to Phebe Ann, daughter of Joseph and Hannah Carpenter of Eldred township. Four children are the fruits of this union: Joseph R.; William B., deceased; John W., and Asher M. Mr. Carpenter is one of the leading farmers of his township, and is a trustee and steward of the Methodist Episcopal church of his neighborhood. Throughout his life-long residence in Lycoming county he has been recognized as an industrious and honorable citizen, a man whose character is above reproach, and whose success has been attained by a conscientious performance of duty. He is a kind and charit-able neighbor, and ever ready to help the needy and afflicted. Politically, he has always been a stanch Democrat, and is also a firm advocate of the temperance cause. Both he and wife are now spending their declining years in the mutual love and respect of home and family, and in the enjoyment of the comforts which their industrious and economical habits have won.

Hi,
My Carpenter family line starts with my Grandmother... Alice Carpenter Hopkins.
My GGfather was Clarence M Carpenter (1859-1907) Otsego County, NY
My GGGfather was Ervin or Irvin Carpenter (1830-1892) Otwego County, NY
My GGGGfather was Daniel G Carpenter (1805-1885) born in Rhode Island and died in Otsego Co, New York.
I am stuck proving anything before that. Most are in a cemetary near Fly Creek, New York.
My father Harold Solon Hopkins was an only child. My GGmother was Mary Hubbell Carpenter (1854-1942) I have proven the Hubbell family back Richard Hubbell of England and most of my DNA points to England.
Any assistance would be appreciated,
Barbara Toan Hopkins McGillivary

NOTES: From Barbara Martin:
My father, Stephen VR, had 2 sons, my brothers, neither of which had sons. So - the Amos Carpenter line fades out with my brothers.

The Carpenter Story, Generation I Stephen and Carrie Lee Walther Carpenter
If our great-uncle Ezra Kelly had not moved to the Coldwater community north of Milton, Florida, my brothers, sister and I may never have existed.
Uncle Ezra had grown up at Holt, Florida along with our grandmother, Isabel Kelly Carpenter Canfield, his older sister. (The Kelly family story will be told in another book.) Grandma Isabel married Van Carpenter and moved away from Holt, eventually living at Perry, Florida where my father, Stephen, and his brother, Raymond, were born.
Grandpa Van died soon after the birth of their second son, Raymond. Grandma returned home, and then lived with her sister and her family who had settled in southeast Alabama.
On December 21, 1923, Grandma Isabel married Henry Horace Canfield, a widower with other children. He was a native of Moss Point, Mississippi, but was working in Alabama at the time they met. They moved permanently to the Moss Point area, where his family already had deep roots.
In the years following the move to Mississippi, Daddy and his brother Raymond welcomed two new sisters - our Aunts Eloise and Vivian.
7
Growing up in the Escatawpa, Mississippi community, it was our Daddy’s destiny to attend school there (or at least pass through the doors) from 1923 to 1933. Highly intelligent though he was, diligent student he was not. Reports would come home to Grandma many days that he wasn’t in school. She knew she had sent him off to school each of those mornings, but apparently he spent his days playing the truant. Finally, at the end of the ninth grade, he ended his misery and dropped out of school.
A few years later, he returned to Florida to live off and on with his Kelly uncles and cousins. His cousin, Velma Kelly Stricklin, told he that she remembered him during that time for the crisp white pants he preferred to wear. He finally settled in the small town of Niceville where he lived and worked with his cousin, Carey Kelly, who owned a sawmill there.
Carey had bought the sawmill from the Spence family after they had gone bankrupt with it. The Spences went on to open the most successful fresh seafod market Niceville has ever known. Daddy was a fisherman, and he especially liked the mullet that were abundant in the bayous around Niceville. He wrote of catching 47 mullet one afternoon, and bringing home a bucket of oysters he caught “across the bay” another time. He would recall the good taste of the fish caught there long after he returned to Mississippi, and would hold it up as the standard for judging the quality of fish he caught in Mississippi waters. Mississippi fish never measured up to the Florida fish.
Meanwhile, Uncle Ezra, working on the railroad out of Holt, married one of the local school teachers, Bertha Willis, who was from the Coldwater community. Before 1930, Ezra and Bertha moved to Coldwater and became near neighbors to Will and Nancy Walther, our other grandparents.
Never having had children of their own, Ezra and Bertha seemed to have taken in stray Kelly nieces and nephews. Stephen was one of those strays. He became a frequent visitor to his Uncle Ezra Kelly’s farm. Those trips became even more frequent when he met the oldest child of the Walther neighbors - Carrie Lee Walther. Her family’s story was told in my Walther/Fuqua book.
Daddy and the Walther boys spent lots of time together. Uncle Gordon told me that Daddy even got him into trouble one night. It was watermelon season, and the melons were ripening in the field. One moonlit night, Daddy, Gordon and some of the other Walthers were out late. Passing Ezra Kelly’s melon field, Daddy suggested they snitch one of his uncle’s melons. While enjoying the fruit of their crime under the moonlight, they suddenly heard a voice from out of the quiet darkness, “Is it good, boys?” Uncle Ezra had caught them red-handed.
Friendship turned into love, and Stephen and Carrie Lee decided to marry. Although Niceville was only fifty miles away, courtship and making wedding arrangements proved difficult. There were no phones and Stephen had no vehicle. He borrowed his cousin’s car when possible, or made other arrangements. He would occasionally “go with the lumber truck” to Pensacola and then make a quick trip to the Walther farm north of Milton. I would think that was the truck from his cousin’s mill, delivering the finished lumber to the market.
In a letter he wrote Mamma just three months before they married, Daddy said, “I don’t know when I will get to see you again. I guess it will be about a month for the tires are getting bad on Carey’s old car and you know what that means.” 8
Transportation was not Daddy’s only problem. Grandpa Walther apparently did not approve of him or consider him a suitable match for Mamma. She spoke of that in a letter in December, just before their wedding, when she mentioned that Grandpa was still against their marrying. Daddy had been aware of his feelings. He had written earlier, “I don’t think hard of him at all for I guess he would hate to see you leave even with the best guy in the world.” They had an ally, though, in Grandma Walther. Daddy spoke of her, “ I am glad your mother feels the way she does about it for she can understand. I am glad we have got someone to sympathize with us.”
Daddy took the initiative in buying the furniture for their new home. In October, he wrote, “I wanted to go to see Mr. Floyd Willis about getting some furniture. I think I will be able to get it from him cheaper than I can anywhere else. I want you to tell me about what we will need to start off with for I might not get what you wanted.”
Mamma responded in a letter in early November, “I get kidded sometimes about you. Especially about you buying some furniture last Saturday. I don’t mind it so terribly much though. Maybe no one kids you. I know you can take it better than I for I never did know how to be teased for it gets off with me.”
Six weeks before their Christmas wedding, Mamma wrote, “Did you know that Christmas will not be always coming? Stephen, let’s go into life together with the determination to always love and treat each other as we want to be treated. I know if we fail to be true to each other we can’t be happy. To me, happiness is the most important thing in life.”
On Christmas Day, 1936, the two were married by the elder of the Coldwater RLDS church, Mr. C. J. Clark. Years later, his wife gave me my first piano lessons.
The country was coming out of a depression in 1936, and money was hard to find. In order to get gas money, they sold some of Grandma’s eggs. Before the wedding, she made a list of items that she needed for beginning housekeeping. I think that the cost of those items is worth noting:
broom - $.40
bowl - .35
towels - .50
irons - 1.60
glasses - .25
table cloth - .75
boiler - .40
plates - .60
washtub - 1.00
pan - .25
knives - .25
lamp - .75
dishpan - .50
butcher knife - .25
sifter - .20
frying pan - .50
forks - .25
water bucket - .50
baker - .20
spoons - .25
dipper - .15
kettle - .50
Carrie Lee moved to Niceville with Stephen and they lived in his cousin Carey’s house. I was born the following October at Crestview, about fifteen miles north of Niceville and ten miles from where my grandmother Isabel was born. One of Daddy’s many Kelly cousins and a nurse, Ethel, nursed me through my first night of life. Mamma gave her credit for keeping me alive, because I was having breathing problems throughout the night. Mamma never forgot the long ride she had to endure on a rough unpaved road to reach the hospital before I was born, even after Alzheimer’s robbed her of much of her memory. I’m not so sure she ever forgave me for putting her through all that!

By the following June, 1938, Daddy returned with his new family to live near his mother in Escatawpa, Mississippi, where the remainder of their children were born. His first job back in Mississippi was with a lumber company in Moss Point.
Van was born at home in Escatawpa in 1939. (His birth at home was not in the plans, but the bridge across Escatawpa River would not close that night. I’ll bet Mamma really never forgave him for that, either). It was nighttime and dark, so the doctor had Daddy hold the kerosene lamp near him while he delivered the baby. Just as he was his busiest, the lights went out. Daddy had fainted and had dropped the lamp. Aunt Eloise was present for Van’s birth.
The late summer of 1939 found Daddy without a job, and Mamma having gone home for an extended visit with her parents. The delight she felt in motherhood reflected in this letter she wrote to Daddy in September:
“The babies are doing wonderful. Barbara Jean is such a monkey. I told her Daddy said hello’. She shook her head up and down and said ‘hey’ and said ‘way up’. That is what she says when we ask her where you are and point towards the sky. Emma tells her she will never find you there. She is in the yard talking to her kitty. I wish you could hear her mumbling (trying to talk). It all sounds like Hitler’s many speeches. Van is a man now. He is six months old. He has one tooth. He can sit alone and crawl. Mostly when he sees trash he rolls to it no matter how far away. He can really do some rolling too. Hair pulling he loves. I wish he could get yours. My nose is sore as usual and he pulls it. That is how he wakes me about daybreak every morning regular, no matter how sleepy I am. He mocks the cat and makes a noise all the time and is never still. He smiles all the time. Lots of people say he is pretty. Barbara Jean is as brown as she can be but he is white as ever. His hair is still reddish. Barbara Jean has plenty now only it is not long.”
Sandra was born in 1940 at the Jackson County Hospital in Pascagoula, Mississippi. I was not quite three at the time. With a little brother between us, I was not overly impressed by the new baby. I do remember my first visit to see her in the hospital. Actually, all I remember is being set down on the floor, leaning against the wall, and staring at the gigantic bed that Mamma was resting on.
Before Sandra was born, the family moved to East Moss Point. At the time of her birth, we were living in a house with a Mrs. Yawn. Soon, we moved into what was called “Porterville”. In modern parlance, it would be called low-rent housing. Very low it was - for we had no indoor plumbing, no running water, no bathroom and no electricity. The families shared a common water pump in the middle of the project and community toilets on the edge. There was no icebox, but Mamma had made a hole under the house, lined it with tar paper and packed ice in that for cooling foods.
It was also during the “Porterville” days, 1943, that Daddy first began working at Ingalls Shipbuilding, a job which would cover most of his working years.

I also began school while living there, but we soon moved a block away into what seemed then to be a big house. It was a strange and unsettling feeling for me as a first-grader to arrive home one day, only to discover my parents had moved down the street a block.
Johnny was born in 1944 at the same hospital as Sandra. Daddy was gone away serving in the war, and the three of us were taken over to Grandma Canfield’s house to stay while Mamma was in the hospital.
Daddy was inducted into the Navy March 15,1944. He spent most of his time in Scotland and Germany, although he was in England, France and Belgium for a short while. He spent about seven months of that time on a switch board operation at a power plant in Scotland, and two months at plant work in Germany. He was honorably discharged November 7, 1945.
While he was away, Mamma and the children moved back to Florida to live with Grandma and Grandpa Walther. I attended second and part of third grade at Allentown School. It was a fun experience to ride the same school bus as the high school students. The nearest I ever came to receiving a serious punishment at school was the day I jumped off the landing behind the cafeteria. Our teacher had told us to stay away from the landing. Somehow, I forgot. One of my classmates told on me and the teacher sent another to get a switch off the peach tree. As she was approaching me down the aisle with switch in hand, I began crying. Obviously a soft-hearted woman, she didn’t use the switch but reminded me never to do it again. Soon, the girl who told on me played on the landing. This time, I told on her. The teacher had no mercy on her.
Daddy’s only brother, Raymond, had enlisted with the CBs. In September of1944, while standing sentry duty on an island in the Pacific, he was shot by a Japanese sniper and he later died from the wounds. He received the Purple Heart and his name appears on the Tablets of the Missing at the Honolulu Memorial in Honolulu, Hawaii. (The “Missing” included those buried at sea or missing in action).
Raymond’s daughter, Dorothy, just three months old, had been born in June after he went into service, and he never had the joy of seeing her.
Following the war, Stephen and Carrie Lee returned to Mississippi, to the same house in East Moss Point. Mamma had saved enough money during the war to buy a lot and begin building a house of her own, which had long been her dream. They soon began the house, and Daddy did a great portion of the work. It was the house in which we Carpenter children grew up. That house remained her home the rest of her life. As humble as it was, she loved it and was proud of it.
Stephen, who despised school as a child, educated himself as an adult. He had begun some electrical courses before he entered the Navy. Once he returned from serving in World War II, he took correspondence courses and taught himself to be a very excellent ship’s electrician.
He spent most of his adult life working in shipbuilding. After moving to Mississippi, every job he ever held involved ships or boats, either at the shipyard, in the Navy, on board a dredgeboat or in a local barge yard. He helped to wire the first nuclear submarine produced by our country. We’ve been told that he installed the first radar unit ever placed on a private yacht - that of Mr. Ingalls who started the shipyard. He was a foreman for the electrical work on the last passenger/cruise ship built at Pascagoula. Van and Jo Ann later enjoyed a cruise on board that same ship.
Mamma became very active in the East Moss Point Baptist Church and each of us began attending church faithfully at an early age. She taught the “Beginners” Sunday School class for about 45 years, loving every minute of it.
I found a scrap of paper on which she had written out her Christian testimony. This is what she wrote:
12
“I had known Jesus from a baby when Mama told me about Jesus from day to day. When I was 15 I knew it was time to publically accept Jesus and Oh! How great it was. There has been blessings untold to me... and never ‘no turning back’.”
Alcohol played a controlling role in Daddy’s life. Most of the difficulties he and Mamma ever had related to alcohol. Eventually, it led to their divorce. Daddy remarried but Mamma did not. The second wife died after a few years, and my parents then remarried. She jotted down another note that said, “We later remarried and had a good life together before he passed away. Of course it was not perfect”.
Daddy did make a profession of faith, and attended church somewhat in his last years.
Daddy’s second vice, cigarettes, brought on emphyzema which led to his early death to chronic asthma in 1966.
Mamma then married W. O. Carpenter, a fellow church member and neighbor. With him she enjoyed ten years of a truly Christian marriage. He was a deacon in the church and very active. Together, they visited the sick in the hospitals, taking Sunday’s church flowers to them. Mr. Oren died in 1985.
Mamma remained physically a healthy person, happily working in her garden even until the 85th summer of her life. However, Alzheimer’s disease finally took its toll, and she died in the year 2000, at the age of 88.
Daddy and Mamma are both buried in the Griffin Street Cemetery in Moss Point, Mississippi.
