5122. William Carpenter

Obituary notice of his death from The Watchman:
"The Foxboro Baptist church has been called to suffer a deep
loss in the death of Mr. William Carpenter.   For 54 years he
has been a member and warm friend and supporter of this church.
He was one of those who lived as they professed.   He believed
fully that the gospel of Christ could thoroughly change a man's
life.  He there fore expected that Christian men should be,
first of all, upright and strictly just in whatever they did. He
was a man who had the public confidence;  the people well knew
his interest in public affairs;  they also recognized his great
faithfulness in all matters entrusted to his care.  Hence, he
had many positions of trust in the church and in the community.
In business he had won success by hard work and perseverance. He
was engaged in the manufacture of straw goods in Foxboro, and
was also a wholesale dealer in straw and millinery goods having
his warehouse in Boston.    For some fifteen years he was in the
well-known firm of Carpenter, Plimpton & , of Boston.    In
1865 he retired from active business life, giving his attention
to the management of his affairs.
Notwithstanding his success in business and in the various
trusts committed to his care, his highest interest was centered
in the church of God.  It was there that he loved to be, to meet
with God's people, and to worship with them.      He was
constant in attendance and activity.   He thoroughly appreciated
those old lines, 'I love thy church, 0 God;'  and his
faithfulness here was rewarded.   For years he bad been
treasurer and a member of the board of trustees.      Mr.
Carpenter left a wife and son, the latter in business in New
York city. Among other public gifts he left by his will $500 to
Boyden library of Foxboro, $500 to home missions, $500 to
foreign missions,  $500 to St. Albans lodge F. & A. M., $1000 to
the Foxboro Baptist church.
These gifts, it ought to be said, are but an index of the
generous nature of the man.  For forty years be has been a
systematic giver to God's work, both for home and foreign
fields.
He was a firm advocate of our denominational paper, The
Watchman, and had taken it at home and abroad for over 52 years.
On Nov. 3d, at the age of 74 years, our brother was taken away,
but we are reminded constantly of the truth, `He being dead yet
speaketh.'"2  SOUR S203
