BIOGEAPHIOAL SKETCHES. Page 259-260
CHARLES K. CARPENTER.
This gentleman was born January 23, 1826, in Hornellsville, Steuben county,
New York. His father, Daniel P. Carpenter, was born in 1781, in Westchester
county. New York. His mother's maiden name was Anna Ketcham, and she was
born in the town of Cornwall, Orange county. New York, in 1787. Her ancestors formerly lived on Long Island, but removed to Orange county at a very early day.
On his father's side his ancestors were from Rhode Island. Mr. Carpenter's
grandfather and great-grandfather both bore the name of Benedict. They were
descendants of William Carpenter, who emigrated from Amesbury, England, and
settled in Rhode Island. Charles K. Carpenter spent his boyhood, until he was eleven years of age, in Steuben county, and the last winter of this time he was employed with an ox-team
hauling pine saw-logs to McBurney's mill. Each morning saw him in the woods
by daylight ready for his daily work. In 1837 he came with his parents to Orion, Oakland County,. Michigan, and
for the succeeding three years he lived whexe Rudd's mill now isj-working hard
clearing land and hauling saw-logs, and, as may be imagined, 'widi very limited opportunity for schooling ; six months' attendance at tlje district iS(^ool -J^ing the sum total after he was ten years old. "
.
* In 1840 his parents removed to the place where Mr. Carpenter now resides. From that date until he was twenty-one years of age his summers, were occupied
in working on the new farm, and his winters in chopping mill-logs and thrashing
grain with a flail. On the 27th of November, 1847, he married Jennett Ooryedl, who was born in Mount Morris, Livingston county, New York, March 9, 1831. Sh^-was the daughter of George and Eliza Sherwood Coryell. George Coryell was from Ovid, Seneca county. New York, and his wife from Herkimer county. She^was a de- scendant of the Hendersons on her mother's side, and came with her parents to Michigan in 1846, and settled in Orion township, where she has ever since resided. Mr. and Mrs. C. K. Carpenter are the parents of eight children, seven of whom
are living. Their oldest son, Clinton, died when twenty moaths old. The names
of those living are as follows : Rolla C. Carpenter, professor of mathematics and
civil engineering in the Michigan State Agricultural College, at Lansing, was born June 2i>, 1852 ; W. L. Carpenter, now a law student in tfie University of Michigan,
was born November 9, 1855; Emma Blanche Carpenter was born March 19,
1857 ; Louis G. Carpenter was born March 28, 1861 ; Mary Carpenter was born August 25, 1866 ; George Carpenter was born November 27, 1869 ; and Jennett
Carpenter was born January 27, 1875. Mr. Carpenter has always followed the occupation of farming. He has been an active and efficient member of the Oakland County Agricultural Society since
its organization ; was one of the original incorporators^ and a director' for twenty
years. He was also president of the society for two years. He has from time to time furnished many valuable papers to the s^cultural pi^ss of the State, and
has for the. past few y^ars been prominent in the ranks of the new agricultural- order familiarly known as " grangers." In his younger days Mr. Carpenter was politically a Democrat ; but at the time
of the division upon the " Kansas-Nebraska" bill between !&far. Buchanan and Mr.
Douglas, he cast his fortunes with the doctrine of " popular sovereignty," and was
elected as a Douglas Democrat to tlie State legislature from the Pontiac district, in 1859.
On the breaking out of the great Rebellion in 1861, he followed the dying
advice of Douglas, and becanae a '' War Democrat," taking a very active part in shaping public sentiment and sustaining the administration of Mr. Lincoln in its efforts to preserve the Union. During the war the duties of superintending enlistments
and paying bounties for his township devolved almost wholly upon him. Mr. Carpenter wm one of the incorporator of the Detroit and Bay City rail- way ; was one of the first directora, and very active in securing local subscriptions
and right of way ; and to his efforts is largely due the location of the road through
Orion and Oxford, instead of Romeo and Fish Lake, he having devoted two years
of incessant labor to the accomplishment of this end. He is still one of the
directors, himself and Mr. James F. Joy being the only ones residing in the
State.
Politically, Mr. Carpenter has not acted with the Democratic party since 1861. When the •• Prohibition party" was formed in Michigan, he became at once an
active member, and was a presidential elector on that ticket in 1870. In 1872
his friends procured his nomination for the office of auditor-general on the same
ticket, and in 1874 he was put in nomination for governor. In 1876 he was
presidential elector at large. In the latter year the ' Greenback" party nominated
Mr. Carpenter for governor, but he having never acted with that organization
declined the nomination. During the past few years Mr. Carpenter has devoted much time to the devel- opment of Island Park, in Orion (or Canandaigua) lake, as a pleasure resort; and the success of the association and the popularity of the locality is largely due
to his organizing ability. Under his liberal and judicious management it has be- come a famous r^ort for church and Sabbath-school excursions, and one of the most popular places of recreation in Michigan.
