Sarah Sophronia Carpenter Simpson
Birth: Dec. 16, 1856
Murray County
Georgia, USA
Death: Nov. 21, 1938
Wellington
Collingsworth County
Texas, USA
Sarah Sophronia, known to us as Aunt Fron, was the daughter of Lawson Carpenter and Sarah Costner. Fron was the ninth of fifteen children born to the couple. She had five brothers, three name unknown infants, Thomas Jackson, Samuel Houston and John Lee, my ggrandfather, and eight sisters, Margaret Malinda, Mary Ann, Rachel Caroline, Martha Jane, Rosa Frances, Hulda Fidelia, Caldonia Ali and Flora Elizabeth.
Fron married Jessie S Simpson in Izard County, Arkansas about 1874. She was the mother of ten children, Flora Cornelia, an infant that didn't survive, Henry Eli, William Jackson, John Houston, Rosa E, Joseph Sire, Sarah A, Thomas A, and Dora Alice. The children were all born in Arkansas, however by the early 1900s, the family is found living in Clayton, Fisher County, Texas. Soon after the 1900 census, they moved to Wellington in Collinsworth County. Fron remained there for about 28 years, until the time of her death.
During the years that she had lived here, Aunt Fron had gained the love and respect of all who knew her. Not only was she noted for her kindness to her own family, but the kindness which she had done for others had gained for her a reputation which had spread through the county. When her youngest daughter succumbed to Typhoid Fever soon after delivering a premature infant that also perished, Fron took the two surviving daughters and raised them, their father having also died at that time. She had a large generous heart.
The following is what appeared in the Wellington Leader:
The Wellington Leader November 24, 1938
Mrs. Sarah Safronia Simpson, beloved resident of this county, died at her home here Monday, November 21. He she lived but twenty-five days, she would have celebrated her eighty-second birthday. The last twenty-eight years of her life had been spent in this county.
Funeral services were conducted Wednesday morning, November 23 at 11 o'clock, from the First Baptist Church in Wellington.
During the years that she had lived here, Mrs. Simpson had gained the love and respect of all who knew her. Not only was she noted for her kindness to her own family, but the kindness which she had done for others had gained for her a reputation which had spread through the county.

Charles Franklin Dodd
Birth: Dec., 1866
Georgia, USA
Death: Apr. 1, 1919
Le Flore County
Oklahoma, USA
Charles "Frank" Dodd was born in December, 1866 in Georgia to William Dodd and Amanda Adaline Dover. Frank is found on the 1870 census in Polk County, Tennessee, living with his grandparents, Samuel G and Susan F Campbell Dover, and on the 1880 census in Izard County, Arkansas with his grandmother Susan Campbell Dover, next door to his uncle Samuel Zachariah Dover and wife Mary Ann Carpenter. It would appear that he lost his parents soon after his birth and was raised by his grandparents.
Frank married Caldonia Ali Carpenter, younger sister of Mary Ann Carpenter Dover, wife of his Uncle Zach, in 1886 in Arkansas. He was the father of four children, sons E W, William L, Samuel Levi and daughter Sarah L.
Frank and Caldonia had moved to Indian Territory, later Oklahoma, by 1900, and are later found living in Torrance County, New Mexico, in 1910. They came back to Oklahoma and were living in Leflore County at the time of his death in 1919.
