Wed, 22 Nov. 1944 Zanesville Times Recorder Zanesville Ohio
BARNESVILLE - When Laura Elena Carpenter Gibson was born in January1905, the czars still ruled in Russia, Theodore Roosevelt waspresident of the United States and Albert Einstein was working on hisTheory of Relativity.
Las Vegas was founded on 110 acres of Nevada desert that year, and theWright brothers were still testing their early airplanes. Novocaineand the U-boat were among the inventions unveiled that year, and thePanama Canal was under construction. Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona,Alaska and Hawaii had yet to become states.
Gibson was in good company, too. Actor/ singer Tex Ritter, who died in1974, also was born in 1905, as were actors Henry Fonda, who died in1982, and Greta Garbo, who died in 1990.
As she celebrates her 105th birthday today at Emerald Pointe Health &Rehab Center in Barnesville, Gibson knows that much has changed in herlifetime, and she clearly recalls and talks about many of themilestones along the way.
Born at her parents' home in Calais, located in the northwest cornerof Monroe County, Gibson has actually celebrated her birth on twodifferent dates. For many years, friends and family observed herbirthday on Jan. 15. But when Gibson applied for Social Securitybenefits, she was informed that her "correct" birth date was Jan. 17.
"It probably took a couple of days to get the news (of her birth) tothe courthouse in Woodsfield on horseback," speculated hergranddaughter, Donna Armstrong, who is 56.
Gibson grew up on the family farm, the daughter of Silas and CharlotteCarpenter. She tended chickens, gathered eggs and helped her motheraround the house. They had no indoor plumbing, but their home wasmodern compared to the log cabin where her grandparents lived just upthe hill. She was married with children of her own before she lived ina home with running water, electricity or a telephone.
Gibson's father raised tobacco, but it has been her lifelong missionto discourage her loved ones from using it. When Armstrong promptedher to say why she had always "hated" tobacco, Gibson didn't cite itsmany dangers. Instead she replied, "Because I had to hoe it!"
Both World War I and World War II erupted while she was still a youngwoman, and Gibson remembers "the boys" coming home from bothconflicts. But her clearest memories are of the simple things thatdefined her life in rural southeast Ohio.
As a child, Gibson walked "a good ways" through the woods to attendschool each day. On her first day of class, Gibson kept her bonnet onher head and sat facing away from the teacher, Sam Hannahs, but hedidn't intervene. The next day she felt relaxed enough to remove herbonnet and sit the right way.
Walking to school one bitterly cold day, Gibson suffered frostbite onher feet that required daily treatment. Getting medical care was noeasy task at that time. Though her mother was a midwife who delivered"a good many babies" for people throughout the surrounding area, someconditions required a doctor's attention.
Gibson recalls a time when she had whooping cough. She became so sickthat her father carried her on horseback to see a doctor many milesaway, holding her upside down for the entire trip. She believes thisprobably saved her life.
Gibson also talks about her first "sweetheart," Harold Snyder, whomshe "went with" in high school. She said he gave her a ring andproposed, but she didn't marry him. She also received a ring with a"red set" from a soldier returning from WWI; he had found the ring inEurope during the war.
But it was James Carpenter who first truly captured her heart. WhenGibson was 18, she went with Carpenter by train from Quaker City toZanesville, Ohio, to see the Barnum & Bailey Circus. They becameengaged on the train ride home and were later married at a preacher'shouse in Woodsfield.
Today, she still points out with pride that Carpenter was one of onlya few young men in the area who had a car at the time.
Carpenter also had a 100-acre farm, where the young couple raisedchickens and other livestock, including geese that Gibson would pluckto make the feather ticks they slept on. They had three children - RayDempsey, who died when he was 17 months old, Geneva (Carpenter) Bewleyand Iona (Carpenter) Bundy.
Gibson recalls that Ray Dempsey "got sick in the night," so a doctorwas called to come from Maysfield to examine him. The doctor spent thenight at their home and said if the baby woke up on his own, he wouldbe all right.
He didn't wake up," Gibson recalled sadly.
After a few years on the farm, the family moved to Quaker City, whereJames Carpenter died of colon cancer in 1943. So, at age 38, Gibsonwent to work - first at a nearby tobacco factory, then at theBroughton creamery and finally at the Quaker City Post Office. Shelived in that community for 50 years in the house where Armstronglives today.
She married her second husband, Clyde Gibson, in 1966 or 1967,according to Armstrong. He has since died, as have daughters Genevaand Iona. Gibson fondly recalls that Iona sang for a time with EvelynCarpenter in a group called the Hoosier Sweethearts as part ofJamboree USA in Wheeling.
Gibson also loves music and sang first soprano then alto during her 25years singing for the Quaker City United Methodist Church. She saidshe realized at age 16 that she loved God and needed worship as partof her life.
Today, she still sings a bit with the staff at Emerald Pointe. Shesaid her favorite song is "God Bless America."
From coal furnaces to ice boxes and pie safes, Gibson remembers manyrelics of days past and how everything a family needed was made orgrown at home, with a few items purchased at the general store in thenearest town. She recalls how friends and neighbors raised eachother's children so that they could be closer to school or becausesome adversity had affected their own families.
She delivered her own children at home, without the help of a doctor,and survived difficult times, including the Great Depression. She madethe transition from horse-drawn transportation to driving a car, whichshe continued to do until age 93.
In addition to Armstrong, Gibson has four other grandchildren, ninegreat-grandchildren and 10 great-great-grandchildren.
"It's great to be alive at 105," she said.
