Chester Lorenzo Carpenter
The following supplied by: Christopher J. Fisher, Esq.
NAME: Chester Lorenze or Chester Lorenzo.
Chester Carpenter is found in the 1880 Census living in Marengo, McHenry County,
Illinois. He lists his occupation as Farmer and his Father’s birthplace as Massachusetts
and his Mother's birthplace as Connecticut which is consistent with the data we have.
Living with him are his wife, Elizabeth (b. 1835 Illinois); Olive M. Carpenter (b. 1854 Illinois); James A. (b. 1864 Illinois); Grant Carpenter (b. 1867 Illinois) and Archie (b. 1772 Illinois). I have found a Grant
Carpenter who died May 4, 1938 in Elgin, Illinois. Otherwise, none of the information I have lists a Grant Carpenter in the family.
From the Omaha World Herald, [undated] the first is the founding and expansion of the business by the sons of Deacon Carpenter, six of the seven brothers finally joining the family enterprise. The second story concerns the transformation of that business into an integrated concern spread out from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Coast with a new corporate structure, a new management structure and a new employee relationship structure fitting into new laws, new times, and the concerns new size.
For the Carpenter Paper Company today has an annual pay roll of three million dollars. It has 55,000
customer accounts, makes millions of transactions in the 13,000 items it handles from 1,300 suppliers. It has200 salesmen, 75 merchandise buyers, 1,100,000 square feet of warehouse space, 83 active bank accounts, 27 sales offices, five wholly owned subsidiaries. Last year its sales volume exceeded 23 million dollars and paid better than one million dollars in direct taxes.
The story of the Carpenter Paper Company begins when Isaac White Carpenter, age 20, left the farm in July 1876 for Chicago. At first he was a hotel porter then worked in a cap factory. A cousin George
Moser, manager of the Upsilanti Paper Company in Chicago hired him away from the cap factory to be a shipping clerk at $8 a week. The five story building in which he worked had an elevator operated by
pulling a long rope handover hand. Elbow grease was the power used on the paper trimmers. Isaac
worked hard, got ahead with the firm, during the next decade.
One by one the younger Carpenter brothers migrated from the farm to Chicago. George obtained work
with W.D. Messinger. Frank arrived in1880 and was employed by F.P. Elliott in his coarse paper department. Four years later when James applied at the same firm, Mr. Elliott remarked that he had enough Carpenters already. Not to be kept out of the paper business, Jim arranged to establish a line of credit to buy wrapping paper which he sold from a wagon on his own account of Chicago's south side. Will and Archie, the two younger brothers came into the paper business later.
The three older brothers wanted to go into business in Chicago, but one manufacturer told them that his arrangements with the Elliott Company forbade his selling to them. He urged them to start up in Omaha whiich at that time had no paper warehouse.
Frank was delegated to investigate the possibilities of the cities northwest and west of Chicago and the
Carpenters finally decided to follow the advice of their mill friend and set up business in Omaha.
With five thousand dollars capital, their savings and the proceeds of their father's sale of part of his good Illinois farm land, the Carpenter brothers came to Omaha and established a paper warehouse in a former livery stable at 1114 Douglas Street. The building rental was $35 a month. Frank and Isaac alternated selling on the road and looking after the city trade. In 1888, George arrived and took over western territory. His route started at Fremont, continued to Cheyenne, south to Denver, thence to Ogden, Idaho Falls and Butte, ending at Anaconda. He would double back by way of Salt Lake City. The establishment rapidly grew out of its swaddling clothes.
The Carpenter's first move was in 1889 to a five story building at 12th and Howard streets. This was the same year they first incorporated. Isaac W. Carpenter was president; James A. Carpenter vice president, C. L. Carpenter treasurer; J.F. Carpenter, secretary and the four, with their brother, George C. Carpenter, were all directors. In 1906, the Carpenters planned and started construction of the first reinforced concrete building west of Chicago. This structure of 8 stories and basement at 9th and Harney streets, cost $150,000 and was quite a plunge. It was occupied about the time of the panic of 1907. The Carpenter building was put up in the days before invention of the Meyer Steelform, as explained in the story of Ceco Steel Products. Spaces between reinforced concrete beams were filled in with tile, which was left in the building when the concrete was poured from above.
A Des Moines branch was established in 1896. A Denver office was opened in 1900. The Kansas City
Paper House was acquired in 1902. The pattern for expansion was quite similar: Carpenter Paper
Company salesmen would get a foothold in a territory, sales would grow until it seemed advisable to
locate a warehouse in a leading city of that territory then a branch of separate company would be
established.
In this manner, the Carpenters set up a warehouse in Salt Lake City in1903; merged their Denver
business with a Boston concern in 1905; opened a business in Guthrie, Oklahoma, in 1908 transferring it to Oklahoma City in 1931; established a San Antonio, Texas business in 1913; opened a Billings, Montana branch in 1917; opened a sales office in Los Angeles in1917 and a warehouse in 1928 and formed a California corporation in 1931; established a Sioux City office in 1915; opened a warehouse in Great Falls, Montana in 1930; acquired a Topeka business in 1929; opened a branch at Harlingen, Texas in 1935 and acquired a going business from theTayloe Paper Company of Memphis and Fort Worth the same year. In 1940, they acquired a going paper business in San Francisco from the Carter interests in Boston and again in 1944 expanded their San Francisco business by purchasing the Field Ernst Envelope Company, one of its six wholly owned envelope manufacturing subsidiaries.
In Omaha were Frank and Isaac. Jim opened Kansas City. Will remained in coarse paper
Head quartered in Omaha. George opened the Des Moines office. Archie, after his graduation from
Cornell in 1898 was sent out to Denver to develop the Rocky Mountain business. When Frank died in
1907, Archie returned to Omaha to take his place.
Will died in 1917 and Archie died during the flu epidemic. Isaac W. Carpenter Sr. remained at the helm of the business until 1925. Isaac Carpenter was one of the founders of the Omaha Young Men's Christian Association and its president for 10 years. He was a deacon of Calvary Baptist Church for more than three decades. He was one of the original directors of the Trans Mississippi Exposition in Omaha in 1898. His hobby was fine horses.
The second generation of Carpenters was all brought up in the business. On graduation from the
University of Nebraska in 1904, Gilbert (Bert) Carpenter entered the sales end of the business in the
Nebraska concern and later supervised branch house activities in Nebraska and Montana.
Harry C. Carpenter, second son of Frank, came into the business in 1913 after attending Cornell. He
moved with his family to Billings, Montana in 1917 and managed the Montana activity.
Isaac W. Carpenter Jr (Zeke) came into the business in 1916 after graduating from Dartmouth and Harvard Business School. After he returned from WW I, Zeke devoted his time to the Federal Envelope
Mfg Co.

Remarks N/A
Mary Elizabeth White
Mary Elizabeth White was listed as 45 in the 1880 Census. She lists herparent's birthplace as Kentucky. She was born in Illinois. I believeher father's name was Isaac since one child appears to be named for him.There is an Isaac White listed in the War of 1812 Illinois TerritoryCompany. Interesting that Governor Edwards was Commander in Chief of thearmy. The third regiment was from Randolph County, Illinois listedColonel Isaac White. This regiment consisted of two battalions.
Also, Kentucky Land Grants list Isaac White purchasing 35 acres on March16, 1825 in Mercer County. This rather conflicts with the Illinoishistory.
An Isaac White bought land in Vermillion County and McHenry County duringthe years 1830-1843 for a total 540 acres.
Mary Ann Kendall is shown as the second wife of Isaac White. He may havemarried his third wife in about 1853. Our ancestor was born in 1835.Isaac White lived until 1874.

Genetic Tests
I would like to order genetic tests for one of my sons.
They are related to Peter Alexander Carpenter (great
grandfather) Civil War physician who homesteaded near
here in Colorado. Which test panel would make the most
sense to order.? We recently held a Carpenter family
reunion and family connections are more interesting now
that my sons have met some of their relatives.
Thanks,

Biography Mary P. Scarborough Carpenter
A pioneer woman, settled with her family in Fort Collins about 1872. Her husband, Peter Alexander Carpenter, suffered from tuberculosis and died soon after coming to Colorado. Their homestead was near the Cache La Poudre River, seven miles from the military camp in early Fort Collins. Mary raised three sons and contributed to her community. "Reminiscences", her handwritten autobiography dated April, 1906, is a beautifully written account spanning the years from the 1830 to 1906. She details her early life in New York state, the family's move to Tipton, Iowa, years of travel during the Civil War, her husband's military life, and finally their settlement as homesteaders on the Cache La Poudre River in 1871.

She was born on February 18, 1832, and baptized at Evangelisch, Windheim, Westfalen, Prussia on March 4, 1832. Her name is spelled “Wilhelmina” and Wilamina” on Warranty Deed No. 87349D in Volume 54, Page 85 recorded with the Sauk County Register of Deeds on 15 March 1886. The ‘Americanized” spelling “Wilhelmina” has been selected for this “History of the Carpenter Family”.

Jeremiah Brown Carpenter
Birth: 10 Feb 1827 Morrow County, Ohio, USA
Death: 3 Nov 1889 (aged 62) Morrow County, Ohio, USA
Burial: Blooming Grove CemeteryMorrow County, Ohio, USA
Memorial #: 91858272
Bio:
Five Carpenter brother, Isaac, Jeremiah, Daniel, Timothy, and Justi, along with wives and children, left Lexington, Morrow County, Ohio in a covered wagon about 1853 to come to the town of Franklin, Sauk County, Wisconsin.(1) Following is a description of their journey and the first winter here.
"The trip to Wisconsin took four weeks. On the way they dug ginseng, which was used for medicinal purposes. At Sauk City they crossed the Wisconsin River by ferry and came to White Mound. Isaac had built barns in Ohio and his job, with the help of his brothers, was to put up a crude shelter in which they all lived together that first Winter. The shingles and boards were all made by hand. The floor of the house was made from slabs, hewn from logs. The Women wove willow splint baskets and the men dug ginseng, which was sold at Boscobel."
Isaac, known as "Master" Carpenter, had brought his barn-building tools with him. He and his brother built some of the first barns in the valley. Another brother, John Hiram, and his wife, joined them after he completed his service in the Civil War in Ohio. The brothers had bought land adjoining each other as near as possible, and, because of this, the settlement was known as Carpenter's Settlement prior to it being called White Mound. Mention is made that a Nathaniel Mitchell had a farm up Honey Creek Valley when the Carpenters arrived.
Daniel Carpenter owned what is now the Edward Liegel place, Isaac Carpenter owned the present John Francis Dischler farm and also other acreage, Jeremiah B. Carpenter owned what is now the Walter Bindl farm. Justin owned land on the west side of present Highway 23 near where GG goes to Loreto. John Hiram Carpenter owned land that is now the Niemann place. There are general areas and not the same boundaries as today, as the land records show that the Carpenters bought and sold land in numerous transactions from the 1850's through the 1890's in this area.
Jeremiah Carpenter and his family returned to Ohio sometime in the 1880's and most of the others moved to the Spring Green area.

Death, Daniel Carpenter
The Free Press, Reedsburg, Wisconsin
Thursday, January 20, 1898
Daniel Carpenter died Jan. 13, 1898, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. John Claridge, Reedsburg, Wis., after
suffering eleven months from a trouble akin to jaundice, and a confinement of one week. The funeral was held on
Sunday at the Methodist church, Rev. G.N. Foster officiating, and a large number of people attending.
Mr. Carpenter was born May 2, 1828, in Medina County, Ohio, and was married July 24, 1851, to Margaret
Thompson of Richland County, in that same state. In 1853 they came to Wisconsin and settled in the town of
Franklin, Sauk County, and here on a farm they raised their family and resided until about eight years ago, when
they came to Reedsburg to make their home with their daughter, Mrs. J.H. Claridge. Their family consisted of three
daughters and two sons – Mrs. Alice Baer, of Black Hawk; Mrs. Lucinda Morgan and Mrs. Eliza Claridge of
Reedsburg; Isaac W. Carpenter of Orchard City, Arkansas, and George Carpenter of the town of Reedsburg. Two
brothers were present at the funeral – Justin Carpenter of Spring Green and John H. Carpenter of White Mound. He
also has a brother, Lafayette Carpenter, and a sister, Elizabeth Hower, both living in Ohio, who were unable to
come. Mrs. Carpenter survives him.
He was converted and joined the M.E. (Methodist Episcopal) Church in 1868, while W.R. Irish was pastor of their
Church in Franklin, and during his last hours was at peace with God and ready to meet death.
Compiler’s Note: The name of son Isaac’s city of residence, Orchard City, Arkansas, was later changed to Gentry, Arkansas.

Mrs. G.W. Morgan Stricken Tuesday
Had Failed Rapidly the Last Three Weeks; Resident of Hawkins and Ladysmith 30 Years
Ladysmith News, Ladysmith, Wisconsin
Friday, November 29, 1935
Mrs. G.W. Morgan died Tuesday morning at her home in this city, death resulting from a complication of ailments.
In the past three weeks Mrs. Morgan had failed rapidly. Funeral services were conducted by. Rev. R.L. Jamieson
Wednesday morning at the W.D. Morgan home and the body was taken to Reedsburg for internment.
Lorinda Jane Carpenter was born at White Mound, Wis., Oct. 6, 1859. November 23, 1879, she was married to
George W. Morgan, also a resident of White Mound, where they established their first home. Two years later,
business interests took them to Reedsburg, Wis. For 25 years, Mr. and Mrs. Morgan were recognized leaders in civic
and church life in that community. To them was born one son, Walter D., who became his father’s business partner.
Together they built the Morgan lumber mill at Hawkins, and the two families in consequence became pioneer
settlers there.
When Mrs. Morgan and her husband came to plans for more leisurely days, in which to enjoy the comforts of life,
they moved to Ladysmith, where he began the erection of his home, doing much of the finer finishing work himself.
Only a brief time were they able to enjoy this new home together. Within a few weeks, Mr. Morgan was stricken
with the illness that resulted in his death in August, 1915. For a time, “Grandma Morgan,” as she was generally
called, felt that there was little in life for her, but gradually her religious training, her love of handicrafts, her
enjoyment of work among flowers, helped her re-establish herself. She transferred her membership to the Ladysmith
Methodist church and in the course of time joined the woman’s class, the Ladies’ Aid, the missionary society and
the W.C.T.U.
For a year, Mrs. Morgan had suffered a complication of physical ailments, failing noticeably during the last three
weeks.

Obituary – Morgan
Free Press, Reedsburg, Wisconsin
Thursday, September 9, 1915
George W. Morgan was born at White Mound, Sauk county, Wis., August 13, 1858. For two years they made their
home on his father’s farm.
They came to Reedsburg in the fall of 1881 and he was engaged in building, contracting and retail lumber business
with his brother-in-law J.H. Claridge. The partnership lasted twenty-three years and many of the business blocks and
beautiful homes of this city and for miles in the surrounding country was built under their supervision.
In 1905, Mr. Morgan, with his son W.D. Morgan as partner, built a saw mill near Hawkins and engaged in the
whole-sale lumber business. In 1913, when the cut at Hawkins was completed, the mill was moved to McIntosh,
Ontario, where the deceased spent the past two summers.
In July 1914, he started to build a home in Ladysmith where he planned to enjoy his later years. However, it was not
to be. Hardly had he finished his home when he became ill about four months before his death which occurred
August 12, 1915.
While a young man he united with the Methodist church at Reedsburg and for many years was superintendent of the
Sunday School at this place. He was a man of sterling worth, quiet and unassuming, but highly respected by all who
knew him. He will be sadly missed by a large circle of friends. He leaves to mourn his loss his widow and one son
W.D. Morgan of Ladysmith.
A short service was held at the home conducted by Rev. Wm. Iley of Bruce, the remains were brought to Reedsburg,
where services were held, conducted by Rev. J.E. Kunders of Rice Lake, a former pastor of the deceased while a
resident of Reedsburg. Internment was made in Greenwood Cemetery.

John Henry Claridge
OBIT:
J. Claridge Ends Life on Wednesday
Death of Public Official Shocks People of This Community
Hold Funeral Today
The Times Press, Reedsburg, Wisconsin
Friday, February 1, 1935
John Claridge, public official and real estate operator, took his own life Wednesday morning. His act was a shock to
his family and many friends of this area. Not in the best of health for the past year, it is believed that his physical
condition prompted the action.
His body was found by his son, Ted, who noticed his father’s absence from the house when he arose. Mr. Claridge,
always an early riser, had gone out to the woodshed and ended his life by hanging. County authorities were notified
and Coroner Clyde Lobdell declared no inquest was necessary.
Funeral services for the deceased will be held at 2 o’clock from the home today, Friday.
Mr. Claridge had appeared as jovial as usual the evening before, conversing with his wife and son in the usual
manner. Friends, though, had noticed that Mr. Claridge did not seem his gay self the past few months. Of general
jocvial (sic) disposition, with twinkling eye and ready smile, he has usually greeted everyone with a cheery “hello”.
But lately his attitude changed, and from outward appearances it appeared as if he had brooding over his health.
Mr. Claridge, who 74 years of age, is survived by his widow, and the following children: Theodore, at home; Dr.
J.D., Loyal, and Miss Mae (sic), Chicago; and Dr. Ralph, St. Louis. All the children are home for the last rites. Mr.
Claridge is also survived by a sister, Mrs. Wm. Claridge, Excelsior, and two brothers, George, assistance postmaster,
here, and Joshua, Chicago.
Mr. Claridge was assessor for the city of Reedsburg since 1908, except for one two-year term. He was one of the
oldest assessors in this area in point of service.
Prior to his assuming public office, Mr. Claridge operated a lumber yard in partnership with the late George Morgan.
Their buildings were located where the Central Wisconsin Creamery is now situated. The firm built many of the
homes of the city at that time.
Following his retirement from the lumber business he engaged in the real estate business and operated a farm east of
the city.

Louis Utendorfer Dies Suddenly
The Weekly Home News, Spring Green, Wisconsin
Thursday, May 10, 1934
Louis Utendorfer was suddenly stricken while seated on the porch at his home last evening and passed away within
minutes. He led his usual active life up to his last hour, although he had not felt real well for several days...
Obituary – L. Utendorfer
The Weekly Home News, Spring Green, Wisconsin
Thursday, May 17, 1934
Louis Utendorfer was born at Warren, Pennsylvania, November 16th, 1853, and when he departed this life on May
9th, 1934, had attained the age of 80 years, 5 months and 23 days. When he was three years old, he came with his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Utendorfer, to Spring Green, so most of his four score years have been passed in this
village and township. In 1880 he married Alta Carpenter of the White Mound neighborhood and together working
hard, they shared the joys and vicissitudes of life.
Mr. Utendorfer’s vocation was that of farming and he and his wife began their married life on the old Utendorfer
farm located near the river until the fall of 1888, when they built a new home and removed to this village.
His was an active life. He loved work and worked hard for the joy of it – because there was work to be done, and it
was not his nature to shirk, his toil being amply rewarded financially. He found pleasure in the company of young
people and his companionship was appreciated by them. He was a devoted husband, a kind neighbor, a good friend
– always willing to go to the relief of those in distress. His rugged honesty gained for him the respect and confidence
of all who knew him, and a host of friends mourn his passing.
His wife, frail in health, has the sympathy of all in this sudden parting. Of the family of brothers and sisters, but two
remain – Mrs. J.H. Carpenter of Spring Green and William E. Utendorfer of Grand Forks, North Dakota. There are
also surviving many nieces and nephews.
The funeral services were held at the home Saturday afternoon, Rev. W.J. James officiating, and interment was
made in the Spring Green cemetery. Those from a distance present were: Miss Lou Bailey, Prairie du Sac; Mr. and
Mrs. J.J. Flannery, Des Moines, Iowa; Mr. and Mrs. W.G. Barry, Muscoda; Mrs. Rose Trumpf, Mrs. Thomas
Fitzpatrick, Miss Thelma Jones, Madison; W.G. Evenson, J.H. Hill and son James, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Pope,
Baraboo; Mrs. Walter Hudson and daughter, Lone Rock; Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Mahoney, Dean Pope, Arena
