DANIEL CARPENTER, a successful farmer, and prominent manufacturer of tile, and also one of the leading and progressive citizens of Richland Township, Fountain County, Ind., was born almost within a stone's throw of his present home some sixty-two ago. His parents, Benjamin and Sophia (Strader) Car- penter, were both natives of Ohio, but they emi- grated to Indiana at the very early date of 1828. This State had been admitted to the Union nearly twelve years before, and since 1815 the savages had ceased to molest or seriously trouble the set- tlers; but scattering bands of Indians yet remained within the borders of Indiana, and civilization had only just begun to conquer the wilderness. The resolute pioneers were not easily discouraged, and work had no terrors for them, for both the newly-wedded husband and wife came of sturdy ancestors. The maternal grandparents of our sub- ject, Henry and Mary M. (Whitesell) Strader, were probably North Carolinians, but they were direct descendants of German forefathers. The paternal grandparents, Abel Carpenter and his worthy wife, were natives of Virginia, and were reared to habits of energetic industry. They re- moved to Ohio at an early date in the histoiy of the Buckeye State, and their son Benjamin was only following the example of his honored par- ents when he too sought a new home in the West- ern wilds, and with his young wife, Sophia, located upon one hundred and sixty acres of Government land, situated in what is now Van Buren Town- ship. Unbroken prairie surrounded their farm, upon which not even a sod had been turned when they removed there. Humble was their log house, and rude were their few articles of furniture, but hope brightened their present with visions of future success in life, and no parents more warmly wel- comed their first-horn than did the father and mo- ther of Daniel Carpenter, whose birth took place in 1830. Our subject grew and throve apace, and other sons and one daughter made sunshine in the homestead. Five children there grew to mature years, and of these the second son was Sampson, now a resident of Richland Township; Jacob, the third in order of birth, yet remains in his native township, Van Buren; Benjamin, the fourth child, is well known in Richland Township, his home; and Mary J., the only daughter, married Llo3'd Ray, and died leaving several children. Our subject was educated in the subscription schools, forty-five days in a }'ear being the average of his attendance and instruction. Self-reliant, energetic and industrious, he attained early man- hood, and in 1854 was married to Miss Sarah, daughter of Usull IJ. Merker. Daniel Carpenter and his wife have been the parents of six children, of whom two sons and two daughters lived to mature age. The eldest is John F., a prominent farmer of Fountain County; Florence is the first daughter; II. Edward is a successful agriculturist of Richland Township; M. Delia married John Reisterer, and died having two children; and two little ones died in infancy. The beloved mother of these sons and daughters passed away in 1868. After a time the father married again. The sec- ond wife was Miss Elizabeth Death, a daughter of John C. Death. To Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter were born five children, all of whom are yet living. The bright promising sons and daughters are Monroe, Mary, Daniel, Edith and Blanche, all well known and highly esteemed in the social circles of their home. The members of the family all belong PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD. 701 to the Christian Church, and are among the active and efficient religious and benevolent workers of the congregation. Our subject and his wife have been prospered and now own about a section of valuable land. In 1876 Mr. Carpenter engaged in a profitable enterprise, as in that year he erected a factory upon his farm and began the manufacture of tile. In connection with this industry he owns and operates a sawmill. Politically, the affiliations of Mr. Carpenter have been with the Republican party since 1856, prior to which time he was a Democrat. He served with ability one term as Supervisor of the count}', but has no aspirations for political prominence or official position. The daily duties of his farming and manufacturing business keep him fully em- ployed, and leave him but little leisure. Our sub- ject, however, takes an active interest in the gen- eral welfare of the nation and the community among which he has passed the years of his useful life, and is always among the foremost citizens in the advancement of progress and improvement. Fraternally, he is a Mason and a valued member of the lodge at Hillsborough, and in this society and throughout the county has scores of true and tried friends.

WILLIAM RAY. In all ages of the world, industry, perseverance and energy, where intelligently applied, have achieved a re- sult which could only have been gained by having one object in view, and improving every oppor- tunity to ultimately attain that object. Mr. Ray is an example of what can be accomplished when the spirit of determination is exercised in connec- tion with the everyday affairs of life. His farm- ing operations have resulted very satisfactorily, and he now controls, and is in the enjoyment of. a comfortable competency. He was born in Rich- land Township, Fountain Count}', 111., in 1831, a son of Jefferson and Elsie (Smith) Raj-, natives of the State of Kentucky. Jefferson Ray settled in Richland Township, of this county, at an early day, and purchased land from John Hamilton, on which he continued to reside until his death, in 1887, at which time he owned one hundred and twenty acres of as fine farming land as one need wish to see. The father of our subject had the following children: P. who married A. D. Sayne, and is re- siding in Butler Township; A. M., who married Jessie Powers; John, a farmer, who married Kittie Cates, and died in Louisiana in 1884; Laura, who became the wife of James McCollister, a farmer of Fountain County; Caroline; Mary, who became the wife of Frank Marks; V., who became the wife of John Crane, a farmer of Fountain County; Vic- toria, wife of John Lane; Katherine, wife of J. Dine, a farmer of Illinois; Julia, who became the wife of Will Coffee; Creta, who became the wife of Harry Dine, a farmer of this county; and William, the subject of this sketch. The latter was mar- ried to Miss Mary J. Carpenter, daughter of Ben- jamin and Sophia Carpenter. She was born in Fountain County, Ind., in 1840, and married Mr. Ray in the early part of 1879. Of the children born of this union, Artio, born November 19, 1879, was reared on the home farm, and educated in the public schools; Effie, born September 6, 1881, is at home, and attends the common school; Annie, born May 22, 1883, and Butler, born February 6, 1887, are at home. Mr. Ray was educated in the common schools, and when starting out in life for himself it was but natural that he should take upon himself the duties of farming, for to that occupation he had been reared. After farming on rented land for some time, he secured enough means to enable him to purchase one hundred and ninety-three acres of land, which he has since greatly improved. His residence is a good and substantial one, and he has an excellent farm and outbuildings of all de- scriptions. He learned what hard work was in his youth, but he also learned lessons of industry, economy and steadiness, that were his stepping- stones to success in after years. All measures of moralit}-, education, temperance and others of like nature find in him a strong advocate. Mr. Ray and his wife are worthy members of the church, and he is liberal in the use of his means in its support, and is an active worker in the Sun- day-school. He is a Democrat in his political views, and at all times supports the men and measures of that party, but has never been an as- pirant for office, the duties of his farm fully oc- cupying his time and attention. His success as a tiller of the soil is due to the fact that attention has been given to no particular department at the expense of another, but every nook and cranny of his farm is carefully looked after, and in looking 680 PORTRAIT AND BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD. over Lis farm one is at once impressed with the idea that a man of discrimination has the manage- ment of affairs. His upright career through life has made him a general favorite, and he numbers his friends by the score.
