Note: N.Z. Carpenter could not read or write on 12 September 1918apparently because R.C. Grigsby filled out the WWI Registration Cardfor him. However, his brother James Rufus Carpenter filled out hisown card. Why did Noah never learn to read or write? Noah was bornin 1877 and his mother died in 1887. His brother James was born in1874. Could it be that his mother Frances was sick for a long periodof time before her death in 1887 and she was never able to teach heryoungest son to read and write? If she were sick he probably had tostay home and help take care of her and was not able to go to school.There has been no information that Noah's other brothers or sister wasunable to read or write - it's food for thought.

Noah Z. Carpenter was a memeber of the IOOF (International Order ofOdd Fellows). I mentioned this to Vernon on 10/26/1997 and he saidthat just after Grandmother died he was going through some papers andfound some papers about IOOF membership.
Vernon said that he remembers one time when they were picking cottonbehind the old shop and that Grandfather was wearing a hat that had abig hole in the front and he had filled it with newspaper.Grandmother said to him, Gee Grandpa, looks like Hitler hit you with abomb.
We moved to Georgia to live with our Grandparents in about 1947. So,I (Bobby L. Carpenter) knew them from then until their deaths in 1955(Grandfather) and 1959 (Grandmother).
Winona Tudor Hughes wrote on 14 January 1997... "I guess you wonderedwhy I had a copy of your Grandfather's deed. I inherited from Daddy,the land next to your Grandfathers old place and researched all theold deeds trying to figure the exact spot the corners were. It wasn'tthe place where Harlan Kinsey lived. I may be wrong but I think thatplace belonged to your Grandmother's sister and her husband. YourGrandfather's place, started on the South Side, right in front of theChurch (Fisher's Chapel, United Methodist Church), at daddys fence.It crossed the creek and went to the foot of John's Mountain. Hisbrother James R. (I always knew him as Rufe). His property started atthe Church line, North of the Church. The house where yourGrandfather lived, still stands with some additions and remodeling.The house Rufe lived in on the hill on the other side of the roadburned in the early 1940's after my Great Uncle Warren Elsberry boughtit. He built another house in the same spot."
"There are some rock levees that your Grandfather built near the creekthat he would have had to spend countless hours of labor on. When Iwas a child I followed Daddy around the farm getting him to tell methings about the past. I'm so glad now that I did, because he showedme the levees and told me about Mr. Noah working so hard to buildthem. Daddy was born on that place in 1900 just above where thelevees are."
In the same letter, Winona wrote, "Did you know that your grandfatherhad another brother named Joe? Daddy had told me that Joe had gone towork, I don't remember it it was in the fields or a saw mill or whatand had never come back and was never heard from again. Then in theearly 1950's a man named Lloyd Kenemer came to Dry Creek to live. Hehad been somewhere out West since he was a young man. He would cometo our house sometimes and visit. One day the subject of JoeCarpenter came up and I asked him what he thought happened to him. Hedidn't answer me at all. Later on when he knew us better and knew howI loved stories of the past he told me a story (which may or may notbe true). He said that Joe would go to the fields and work and a man(he would never tell me who) would go to his house and visit. He saidone day he and another guy were sitting on the bluff over the creekand saw Joe go to the house. He said while they were still sittingthere the man came back over the hill with someone thrown across hisshoulders. He said they got scared and ran and never told anyone whatthey saw, but that Joe Carpenter was never seen or heard from again.I begged him to tell me who the man was, but all he would tell me wasthat he and the other guy were afraid to tell and that he was leavingfrom here anyway, so he never told anyone."

While in Georgia, wevisited numerous gravesites, in particular that of my Grandfather andGrandmother, Noah Zealand and Minnie Elizabeth (Donald) Carpenter. Inaddition, Benny gave me an extra picture of her which I had not seenin a long time. It probably was taken about the time I was visitingwith her, Dad and other relatives in November, December 1958. Anywayto make a long story short, we returned to California on October 18,1996, which was a friday. Sunday morning I went out to get the Sundaynewspaper, and as I was about to pick up the paper, I saw somethingout of the corner of my eye, I picked up the newspaper and then turnedto pick up what turned out to be a Fifty Dollar Bill (S/N # G35184285A, Series 1990). How did it get there, my grandmother MinnieElizabeth (Donald) Carpenter somehow caused it to be there, that I amsure of. I needed almost that exact amount to upgrade my Genealogyprogram.
Minnie Elizabeth Donald had a half sister---Bessie Larkins, ofYonkers, NY.
When Minnie died in 1959, she had been a resident of Chattooga,Georgia for 68 years. (Which means that she must have moved toChattooga when she was about eight years old).----Reference newspaperclipping about her death.
