Clarence H. Carpenter House (1876)
What better calling card for a lumber dealer than this handsome Modern Gothic house? In this house, that easily manipulated material — thanks to rapidly developing mechanical technology — provides elaborately bracketed bay windows below braced-hood windows on both front and side elevations as well as picturesque, yet fictive, roof strutwork in the gable ends. In anticipation of his marriage to Anna C. Robbins in April of 1877, Carpenter built this house, which the newlyweds occupied following their nuptials. They lived here only until 1888, but the Salisbury family, who bought it that year, remained here for almost a century, which — with the exceptionally sympathetic two owners who have occupied it subsequently since — explains the remarkable state of preservation that the house has enjoyed. Also noteworthy is the similarly beautifully maintained, intact carriage house/barn at the rear of the house; such outbuildings are relatively rare today.

KANSAS COLLECTION BOOKS.
William G. Cutler's History of the State of Kansas.
SEDGWICK COUNTY, Kansas, Part 16.
"VALLEY CENTER, Kansas.
Valley Center was surveyed into town lots in 1872. It is located on
the railroad, on the banks of the Little Arkansas, about twelve miles
north of Wichita. It has a postoffice, three stores, two blacksmith
shops, considerable storage capacity for grain, and several
dwelling-houses. Its principal proprietors are John Carpenter and
son."
and further down under biological sketches ...
J. T. CARPENTER, farmer, Section 36, and dealer in coal, lumber, etc., P. O.
Valley Center, was born in Pennsylvania, in 1823. Is a
son of Asa and Catharine Carpenter, who were natives of Pennsylvania,
and moved to Du Page County, Ill., when the subject of this
sketch was twelve years of age. At the age of twenty, he was married
to Miss Eliza Emerson. In 1850, with his wife and child, went to
California, going by the overland route, to try his fortunes among
the vicissitudes of the land of gold, where he remained for five years,
during which time he was successful and succeeded in accumulating
$10,000, but was overwhelmed with grief at the death of his wife and
child. In 1855, he returned to Illinois, where he was engaged in
farming until he came to Kansas in 1870. In 1855, he was married to Miss
Sarah Hudson, daughter of the Rev. James and Rebecca Hudson. He has
three children by the last marriage - Horace, Clara and Arthur
Carpenter. On coming to Kansas he located on a farm on the Little
Arkansas River, in Park Township, this county, but subsequently
removed to Wichita, where he was engaged in the grain business for
four years. He then removed to his farm, on which he has since
resided, consisting of 500 acres, located in Grant and adjoining
townships, 350 acres of which are under cultivation. In 1878, he laid out
the town site of Valley Center, from a portion of his farm. Since
moving to this farm he has devoted his time to the interests of his farm,
and has also been engaged in the coal and lumber business and buying
grain. Has been successful in all his business ventures, and has
acquired a competency which he is now enjoying in his declining years
as the result of his energy and business ability. He was elected
County Commissioner in 1873, serving one term of two years, and
re-elected in 1875, and served another term, during which time he
assisted in organizing over one half of the townships of Sedgwick
County. Has never been an aspirant for office, studiously avoiding all,
excepting the one mentioned, but has ever been a zealous worker for
the public interest's of the communities in which he has lived. He is a
director and stockholder of the Citizens Bank of Wichita. Is a
Free-will Baptist. Was deacon of the church for twenty years before
coming to Kansas. Is a member of the Old Settlers' Association of
Sedgwick County. He is an earnest temperance man, never having
used tobacco or stimulants in his lifetime, not even to the extent of
drinking a glass of beer. His son, Arthur, who is associated with him in
business, was born in Illinois in 1861. Was married in 18881, to Miss
Della Sherman. Has one child - Ray Carpenter. Was appointed R.
R. agent at Valley Center, in 1879, for the A., T. & S. F. Co., and
in 1882 for the St. Louis & San Francisco R. R., which office he held
until 1883, when he resigned on account of other business. He was
appointed Postmaster of Valley Center in 1881, which office he now
holds. Mr. Carpenter's son-in-law, A. C. Race, station agent at
Valley Center, was born in Wisconsin, in 1856. Is a son of Calvin and
Annis Race. Was married in 1880, to Miss Clara Carpenter, daughter of
the subject of this sketch. He located in Grant Township, in
1879, engaged in the grocery business for two years. Received the
appointment of agent for the R. R. Co., in February of the present
year."

Excerpts from....."The Founding of Valley Center" by Genevieve May Rapp - May,
1931; A dissertation submitted to the graduate faculty in candidacy for the
degree of master of arts, Dept. of History, The University of Wichita, Wichita,
KS.
Excerpt beginning page 28 - Another settler coming to the Arkansas Valley was
to become the leader of the community and to be given the title, "the Father of
Valley Center." This man was John Carpenter, a native of Illinois. During the
gold rush of 1849, he went to California where he amassed a fortune consisting
of ten thousand dollars. (1, p29) After the death of his wife and child, he
returned to Illinois, where he settled on a farm. He, too, became interested
in Kansas after the Civil War, so sold his farm and came to Kansas (2, p29).
He found the land that suited him along the Arkansas River and built his home
there. Mr. Carpenter was a leader of practically every enterprise that found
its way into this locality (3, p29). His wealth helped him to this place of
responsibility, but even more than this was the kindly feeling that the people
had toward him. He acted as counselor and advisor to many people in the
community. It was not long until he was known as "Uncle John" and the people
used this title in highest reverence to him. His obituary expressed the
feeling of the community towards him.
'He lived in this country in the time that tried the souls of the
frontier settlers. At a time when this new country needed courageous men and
wise counsel, he was always true to every trust reposed in him. When hard
times, incidental to frontier life, gave way to prosperity and Wichita began to
grow into a city, John T. Carpenter was a helper in every movement for the
advancement of this city and this county. A lifelong acquaintance said of him;
"He never gave up. What he thought should be done, must be done." (1, p30)
Excerpt from page 52 - When the railroad (note: Santa Fe in 1872) crossed Mr.
Carpenter's land, he gave the company the land on which to build a depot. The
gift was readily accepted and the depot was built. A few years later when the
Frisco came through Valley Center, an agreement was made with the Santa Fe to
use the same depot, but to use one farther south. So the depot donated by Mr.
Carpenter was moved away without his knowing anything about it (2, p52).
Excerpt beginning page 56 - While the railroad was under construction from
Newton to Wichita, Mr. Carpenter believed that a new town might be built along
the right of way. His own farm was too far west to have the right of way
through it, but section thirty-six was not, so he purchased it for the new town
site.
The Carpenter family organized themselves into a town company (2,p56). Mr.
John Carpenter was presiding; his wife, treasurer; and his son, Arthur,
secretary (3, p56). It was part of the work of the organization to have the
land surveyed and plotted into town lots. There was some difficulty in the
surveying. When the county had been surveyed, rocks had been placed at the
corners of the sections to serve as markers. When the settlers came, they saw
the piles of rock and often took them for their own use (4, p56). The
surveyors were not able to find any of these markers, therefore began surveying
from the spot they believed to be the section line (1, p57). Several years
later, Mr. Westfall discovered the fact that the surveyors had been wrong in
determining the section lines and had the mistake corrected by straightening
the streets (2, p57) in the new town of Valley Center.
Mr. Carpenter had this work done in 1873 (3, p57) and had hoped that the
settlers would soon come and buy land. For several years the section house
that had been built by the Santa Fe Railroad Company was the only building in
the new town (4, p57).
Excerpt beginning page 58 - By 1885 there were two general stores, two drug
stores, one bank, one implement house, and one lumber yard. Mr. John Carpenter
had been responsible for the establishment of most of the stores and owned many
of them (3, p58). The lumber yard belonged to him, and in connection with his
lumber, he sold grain, hay, and coal. There was a tendency for the people to
go to Wichita to trade because they believed the better bargains could be
obtained there, and the Valley Center merchants let the facts be known that
their goods were as good as any in Wichita. Mr. Carpenter used this
advertisement:
"All kinds of Lumber constantly kept for sale. I have the best facilities for
Pressing and Shipping Hay, for which the highest price will be paid.
Different kinds of Coal always on hand. Wichita prices in cash
paid for all kinds of Grain." (1, p59)
Excerpt from page 75 - During the spring of 1885, the following was sent to
the Wichita Eagle:
"Uncle John Carpenter is exultant over our 'prospectus (sic) future,' and after
a short conversation with him, it is very easy to imagine this place as spread
over the larger part of Uncle J.'s farm, built up with fine residences having
attractive boulevards and drives-in fact a populous and beautiful city besides
which the radiance of Wichita pales into insignificance. We understand that he
is about to make two additions on the north and west of town, and H. C. Boyle
is about to make an addition of twenty acres on the east, and has already
applications for lots upon which building will be erected as soon as it is
plotted." (1, p75)
Such was not to be the case, for "Uncle John" Carpenter had not taken into
consideration that the boom would only be temporary. By 1886 the boom was
declining and people were leaving with the newly acquired lots unpaid for.
Excerpt from page 77 - The school lands in Valley Center had been sold to Mr.
Carpenter and since he was interested in building up a city, he allowed the
school house to be put on his ground.
Excerpt beginning page 82 - The school met the educational and social needs of
the community, but the spiritual need had to be met as well. Mr. Carpenter was
interested in religion and helped to organize the first Sunday School in this
part of Kansas (1, p83). He had just built a new corn crib on his farm, and
after talking to Mr. Case and Mr. Thompson, it was decided to hold the newly
organized Sunday School in the corn crib (2, p82). Every Sunday about a dozen
people would gather for the services. These were opened with singing, without
the accompaniment of any musical instrument. After several songs were sung, a
prayer would be offered and the Scriptures read. This was followed by a
discussion of some Biblical subject in which all the adults took part. The
children would sit in awe and listen to these Bible students discuss weighty
problems and wonder if they would ever be able to do the same thing (3,p83).
After the discussion the men would take turns in giving addresses.

excerpt from "Park City: How It Lived and Why It Died", by Sandra Swanson
Wiechert, 1965 - an abstract in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the
degree master of arts, Kansas State University, Manhattan
"John T. Carpenter had come to Kansas in the late 1860's, and started a farm
about five miles east of Park City. When the survey for the Wichita and
Southwestern Railroad ran near his land, he decided to start a town, Valley
Center. He purchased Section 36, and with his family as townsite officers,
plotted a new town." (p.113)

E-MAIL: Fri, 24 Mar 2000 From: Marcelyn Harris Kenmarvc@aol.com
Vince Marshall sent me the data that he had sent you, and because of the
marriage of Della Sherman, whose mother was a Loper, to Horace Carpenter. I
have information gathered by my mother, Dorothy Creasser Miles, whose
grandmother was Leni Leoti Loper, an aunt of Della. I believe that Della came
to Kansas with Leni and some of her children in 1876*. She and Horance were
married in Macoupin Co.,Ill. The Loper family was from Macoupin Co.,
Illinois.
The following sketch was taken from an article written by Mrs. Adrianna
Chase LOPER Wright at the time of the dedication of the present buildings.
In the year of 1870 a small bunch of people got together and organized a
private school which was held in the kitchen of what was known at that time
as the Fulton Claim. The house stood where the Adrian P. Wright's farm was
located. (Adrian and Ancil were the sons of Adriana and Charles Wright)
The exact date is uncertain, but is supposed to be the same year 1870,
that the same band assembled to locate a school ground. Some wanted it on
the southwest corner of the Carr place and others where it is now. The Carr
location was about to win out. Mr. J. T. Carpenter remembering that women
could vote at school elections, very quietly disappeared, went home and
returned with his women folks and the present location was established.
In the spring of 1872, District 3, was organized.(which was called Gem
School, located on W. 61st St. south of Valley Center.) There was a short
term of school taught that spring in a granary just east of Ancil Wright's
home. The teacher was Ellen Carpenter. Horance, Arthur and Clara Carpenter,
and Jane Dunlap were among the pupils.
***********
Mrs. Carpenter died May 31 (or a few days before) 1917 Relatives: Mrs.
Clara J. Race of Wichita, Horace A. Carpenter, Los Angeles, CA., and Arthur
Carpenter, Chicago, Ill. *I will try to locate this in the Valley Center
Index shortly, as I did not document it very well.
********
I have given Vince several of my V.C. documents, so do not have them at hand.
The Index speaks of the Universalist Church holding it's meetings in the back
of J.T. Carpenter's bank. I have the roster of names of those belonging to
the church, and will check it for you.
Who was your great grandfather? Horace or Arthur?
Hope I haven't confused you too much. I will answer all questions that I
can!

Stephen E. Carpenter widowed father Aug 1822 PAStephen was a Sexton, most likely at the Harford Church which is located on the cemetery grounds.
The definition of Sexton is "title used for a village church official that cares for the property, rings the bells and digs the graves"
That said there is a chance that Stephen dug the grave of his infant grandchild Lillian Pearl Gillett who died in 1886 and is buried in Harford Cemetery and perhaps even his wife's grave too.Original death date of 28 Apr 1903 has been amended to 28 Jan 1903 per a record found at the Susquehanna County Historical Society and the following obituary.

While we dwell here on this shore,Thou hast been a faithful mother,
Ever gentle, kind, and true,

Louisa Carpenter Dimmick
Birth: 29 Apr 1832 Harford, Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, USA
Death: 31 Oct 1899 (aged 67) Shuteston, St. Landry Parish, Louisiana, USA
Burial: Dimmick Family Plantation CemeterySt. Landry Parish, Louisiana, USA
Plot: Dimmick Family Plot
Memorial #: 105731523
Bio:
Vital dates were obtained from a Sons of the American Revolution Membership Application filled out by her son.Other records I have found list her birth as the 29th (Sons of the American Revolution Membership Application # 83329, Applicant Edwad Dimmick Moise, descendant of Edward Dimmick)
Determined in the Supreme Court of Louisiana, Vol 107, p 403-410.
"In late 1899, the estate of Louisa and Addison was valued at $19,282.05 with no debt, and Frank, who was left 1/3 of the estate, was appointed Executor and tutor to Effie, Myrtle, Bessie, Ira, and Wille. The heirs were Frank, Malvern, Mrs. Price (Carrie Dimmick), Mrs. McDowell (Maude Dimmick), the children of Ceos (Effie, Myrtle, Bessie, Ira, and Willie), William D. Dimmick's children, Fanny and John Addison, and Stella's son, Frank Pulford. Frank Pulford's father sued. Frank had received a greater share to reimburse him for having taken care of his parents and the plantation in their old age.
Frank divided the $4, 502.15 from the crop of 1890 among the heirs, but he deducted $479.75 as expenses for making the crop as well as $1200 related to expenses as Executor, and his 1/4 share. The rest got $100 each. From the sale of property, the estate realized $2222.45. Pulford, Sr. did not get his son's share of this sale because Frank did not notify them of the sale and thus they did not come to get their share. The result was the sale of the planation; the moveable were sold on the 28 Nov 1900 for $17,050 and the immoveables ($1723.60) and lands ($774.25) were sold later. All proceeds were handed over to Frank, as the Executor. Frank bought out the interests of Mrs. McDowell, Mrs. Price, Malvern, J. A. (John Addison) and Fanny. As Exector, Frank did not always keep needed records of deposits (did not even deposit all money received into the estate) and withdrawals.
The court decreed that Frank had to pay Frank Pulford his share and interest of 20% per year on specific amounts received by the estate and 8% on other amounts and to pay court costs.
The course went to the Louisiana Supreme Court. The court awarded $3600 and interest to be paid back to Frank, as per an agreement he had made in writing with his father that he would be paid $600 a year to run the plantatiom, which he did from 1894-1899. The court costs were paid by Pulford and the others bringing the suit (the children of Ceos)."
