Was Born in Vermont But Spent Most of His Life in this Vicinity-One of 14 ChildrenAt 5:30 on Saturday morning, Oct. 30, occurred the death of John H. Carpenter, 86, at the home his daughter, Mrs. B. L. Johnson of Calcium.
Mr. Carpenter was born at St. Albans, Vermont, March 4, 1840, a son of Amos and Delanay Carpenter. When he was but four years olf his parents came from Vermont to Jefferson County, driving their team hitched to a wagon. the family settled in this vicinity, where Mr. Carpenter as a lad recieved his education in the district school attending from the age of 5 to 14 years.
His diaries, kept regularly through a long life, tell of his returning in his 15th year to attend "Geography School" and to perfect his penmanship under the instruction of a "writing master".
In 1862 he enlisted in the 10th N.Y. Heavy Artillery and served during the remaining three years of the Civil War. He received his honorable discharge and returned home. On June 10, 1886 (should be 1866), he married Miss Eveline Scott of Sandfords Corners, who died Oct. 23, 1915.
In 1868 he purchased the farm where he spent the remaining years of his life.
Mr. Carpenter was one of a family of 14 children of whom but two sisters survive him, Mrs. Orpha Shaffert of Watertown, and Mrs. Alice Hecox of Chadwicks, N.Y.
For several years he was an active member of Watertown Grange, and to the last he retained his membership in the Joe Spratt Post of the G.A.R.
On June 15, 1926 he suffered a shock at his home and gradually fell from that time.
He leaves four children, three sones, Arthur, Asa and George of Watertown and one daughter, Mrs. B. Johnson of Calcium; also five grandchildren, Mrs. Fred P. Hoose of Amenia, N.Y. Laurine Carpenter and Ruby Carpenter of Watertown and Gladys and Marion Johnson of Calcium; also one great grandchild. His only grandson, Wesley Carpenter, late of Watertwon died in June 1925.
A friend today paid the following tribute:
"Mr. Carpenter, the oldest resident of the little village of Calcium, was a man whose character demanded and recieved the love and respect of all. His sound judgement, sterling honesty, absolute sincerity and extreme temperance of speech and thought combined to form a character reliable and sound. Many turned to him for advice in their troubles and his help was always modestly given. He was one whose gentleness made him great and his friends who deeply mourn him are numbered by hundreds."
Prayers will be held at the home at 2 Monday afternoon, Nov 1 with services at 2:30 at the Calcium Christian church Rev. R.G. English, officiating.
Interment will be made at Sandfords Corners cemetary.
