5148. Sturgis Phinney Carpenter
Resided in Providence, RI The compiler has not the
particulars of the sudden death of Sturgis Phinney Carpenter,
but it is evident as a man the vacancy made by his death will be
difficult to fill. He was faithful and conscientious in the
discharge of all his duties, which be performed with
cheerfulness and to the satisfaction of his employer. He was a
friend to the working man. As an overseer he was always pleasant
and cheerful and held the confidence of all who served under
him. When a boy he was apprenticed to Church & Sweet; when they
dissolved, he went into partnership with Nathaniel Bushee, on
Benefit St.; when burned out, he formed a partnership with
Menzes Sweet; after Mr. Sweet's death, he formed a partnership
with Henry Childs till Mr. Childs' death in '881. For nearly 25
years he was director of Eagle bank; he also served as director
of the Providence Mutual fire insurance company. In 1876 he was
a member of the common council and from January, 1880, to his
death in 1884, was one of the board of aldermen. He was for many
years a member of Mr. Hall's church, the First Congregational
