Classification: Will
Surnames: CARPENTER, GREEN
In the name of God, Amen.
I, Timothy Carpenter of the Town of Harmony, County of Chautauqua, and state of New York, being of sound mind and memory, and considering the uncertainty of this frail and transitory life, do therefore make, ordain, publish and declare this to be my last will and testament, that is to say:
First---after all my lawful debts are paid and discharged, I give and bequeath to my wife Sally B. Carpenter during her natural life, the use of the part of my house that I live in now as described(to wit) consisting of the upright and the room west of it used by me now for a kitchen with a bedroom west and a butry south of the kitchen. It is my will for my wife to have the use of my farm and all my personal property if it should require so much for her support. After her death if she should survive me, it is to be equally divided between my three children, providing my son William P. Carpenter pays a note that we gave together to ?????. If he fails to pay it, it must come from his portion with annual interest. It is further my will that Samuel Green shall manage the property, have full power to let the farm and to manage the personal property as a prudent farmer should and to let my wife have as much of the proceeds as is necessary for her support. Likewise I make, constitute and appoint Samuel J. Green of Harmony Chautauqua County and State of New York to be executor of this my last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills by me made.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto subscribed my name and affixed my seal the Twenty-fifth day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and seventy eight.

Signed
Timothy Carpenter

The above written instrument was subscribed by the said Timothy Carpenter in our presence, and acknowledged by him to each of us: and he at the same time declared the above instrument, so subscribed to be his last Will and Testament: and we, at his request, have signed our names as witnesses hereto, in his presence and in the presence of each other, and written opposite our names our respective places of residence.

IDA EMILINE b. ca. 1850 Timothy Carpenter Descendants Page 157 STEPHEN was the compiler of reference #2, which this compiler used as the basis for the genealogical up-dating of this project for posterity. He had been a newspaper publisher and editor in various places. Prior to becoming editor of the Prairie Democrat of Freeport, Ill., he had been editor of the Girard, Pa. Free Press. Later, he was instrumental in starting and editing the first daily at Madison, Wisc., the Wisconsin Patriot, and was with it throughout the Civil War. He then joined his son ALBERT in publishing the Patriot at Carthage, Mo. STEPHEN was affectionately referred to as "PUMP" CARPENTER due to a pump he invented for a grain binder. The McCormick Company purchased his patent. He also invented a type-setting machine and a voting machine. Just prior to his death, he was engaged in selling the voting machine to the State of Missouri. He claimed the machine was infallible and could be purchased for $50 each instead of the $500 per machine the State was then paying. Some records indicate STEPHEN was a Wisconsin State Senator, but this is an error. The State Archivist reports his only connection with state government was a two-year printing contract which was financially disastrous to STEPHEN. He is reported to have received a gold watch from the STATE for exposing irregularities in the awarding of printing contracts. His second spouse MARY is listed in the 1860 census (3rd ward, Madison, Wisc.) as age 36 and born in Vermont (Vol. 1, p. 260, census). She reportedly was interred under her maiden name of Miss STRICKLAND; her obit, however, refers to her as Mrs. MARY B. CARPENTER, wife of S.D. CARPENTER. The lot where she and STEPHEN are interred was purchased a week prior to her death by her brother-in law, LAWSON REYNOLDS. His spouse, sister to MARY, died the Friday preceding MARYS death. She is buried between MARY and STEPHEN in a row of three graves. In 1967 the cemetary caretaker said STEPHEN'S gravesite is not under perpetual care, nor does it have a stone or marker.

Emiline Cornilia Britton

Died in a cholera epidemic and buried there.

21582. Ida Emiline Carpenter

Number 634-5 in the Timothy Carpenter book.
Most old records do not include this Ida.  The compiler of the above record
found her name in an old letter of Stephen, her father.  The fact that she died
early would indicate the second Ida of the family was named after her, as often
was the custom.  She was recorded to have died during the cholera epidemic and
a short time prior to her mother's passing.

21584. Ida Emiline Carpenter

Number 636-5 in the Timothy Carpenter book.
Ida and George had no issue.  Ida was living in Omaha, Neb. in 1908 when she
conveyed a plot in Forest Hill Cemetery. See sister's notes.
Ida is mentioned in the 1860 census of Madison, WI, which was taken 9 June
1860.
The NAILE name is recorded with various spellings.  An old stock certificate
transferred to the compiler of the above record by courtesy of Stephen Decatur
Carpenter 2nd, a grandson of Stephen, spells it as herein recorded; the stock
was being transferred from Stephen to his daughter Ida.

Mary B. Newton

Buried in the SE corner grave, Lot 18, Block 13.
Listed in the 1860 census of Madison, WI (Vol.1, p.260)
The lot where Mary and her Husband, Stephen are interred was purchased a week
prior to her death by her brother-in-law, Lawson Reynolds.  His spouse, sister
to Mary, died the Friday preceding Mary's death.  She is buried between Mary
and Stephen in a row of three graves.  In 1967 the cemetery caretaker said
Stephen's gravesite is not under perpetual care, nor does it have a stone or
marker.
One record indicates STRICKLAND as a maiden name, but no mention of previous
marriage is found.

14041. Emmett S. Carpenter

Number 236-4 in the Timothy Carpenter book.
Emmett was recorded as residing in MO in letters of administration of his
father's estate dated 12-7-1885.  Emmett was mentioned in the 1850 census of

spells her name as Olivia.
