ARTICLE:

William H. Carpenter, A prosperous business man can credit his success to one or all of three excellent attributes; energy, system and practical knowledge, and all three have been combined in the efforts of William H. Carpenter, a substantial resident of Rock Island, Ill., whose name is well known to the coal trade.  Beginning life with no advantages except those to be gained by a common school education, he brought to bear upon his life work his natural business ability, progressive ideas and persistency of effort, and, as a result, is now the proprietor of an excellent business which assures him a comfortable competency.  Mr. Carpenter is a native of Rochester, N. Y., born April 10, 1841, a son of David and Almira (Bronson) Carpenter.  David Carpenter was born in New York City, October 16, 1811, and was married at Rochester, N. Y., to Almira Bronson, who was born in Auburn, that state, April 4, 1812.  In 1854 the family came West to Michigan, where the remainder of Mr. Carpenter’s life was spent, he being employed as a mechanic.  To Mr. and Mrs. David Carpenter there were born six children: William H., Sarah J., Ruby L., Emeline A., Phoebe J., Adeline R.

William H. Carpenter was thirteen years of age when the family moved to Michigan, and there he completed the education which he had started in the common schools of New York, February 10, 1862, at Colin, St. Joseph county, Mich., Mr. Carpenter enlisted in Company A, Fifteenth Michigan Volunteer Infantry.  He was in engagements at Pittsburg landing, second battle of Corinth, Miss., Haines’ Bluff, Black river, Jackson.  After the fall of Jackson, Miss., he was detailed to the commissary department of the Fifteenth Army Corps, serving at Black river, Memphis, Scottsborough, Huntsville, Ala., and in the entire Atlanta campaign.  During the last three months of service he was in office of quartermaster of the military division of Mississippi at Nashville, Tenn.  Was mustered out at Detroit, Mich., March 13, 1865, by reason of expiration of term of service.  He came to Illinois in 1865, and became a commercial traveler, an occupation which he followed for upward of thirty years, then turning his attention to the coal business, being for several years engaged in that line at Moline, Ill.  After disposing of his coal business, he spent two years at Los Angeles, Cal., and then returned to Galesburg, Ill., where he remained four years, and then came back to Moline, where he was for one year, and then engaged in a coal business at Rock Island.  He now has offices at No. 123 Twentieth street, and commands a large trade throughout the city.  Mr. Carpenter is a useful and constructive citizen, attends strictly to business and his advice and co-operation are sought in all the enterprises with which he is identified.  For a number of years he was school director of South Moline township, but he has never sought public preferment.  He was formerly an Odd Fellow, and is now a member of Rock Island Lodge, No. 658; A. F. & A. M., and the John Buford Post, No 243, G. A. R., of Rock Island.

Mr. Carpenter was married to Electa M. Adams, who was born in New York state, August 12, 1839, and to this union there have been born four children: William A., born January 1, 1866, and George H., born September 1, 1878, and two who died in infancy.
