In Stanley Proctors memories he relates that Will Carpenter came to visit the Proctor family in the spring ot 1925, the ground was too wet to work, so Stanley drove him around the Dearborn, Plymouth and Canton Center area visiting relatives of William Carpenters, Stanley says nothing of a wife.
There is some confusion in the middle initial for William. He is listed in census records as William L., his son is named Willism L. Jr., the first part of his obituary is for William N., but the records go on and list other middle
initials for him, one of the mysteries of genology that need correcting.Obituary for William N. Carpenter, Waterloo Courier, 10/18/1933 William N. Carpenter, 69, 211 Oneida St. died Tuesday at 4:30 PM at his home of a heart attack. He was ill for only a short time. Mr. Carpenter was born in

George married twice: 1) Candace (Dacy) Place, (B-12/Dec/1875 & D-1938), they
had 2 boys. 2) Dolly ?
!Candace (Dacy) place and Clarence Place were sister and brother.According to Art Carpenter George was a police officer in Petoskey MI. (This
is verified by Stanley Proctor. He relates that in 1928 he and his girl friend
Lucille Latson, and his sister, Bernice Proctor, went on a trip to the Upper
Pensulia of MI, and stopped off to visit his Uncle George, it was a
Uncle to his mother, Pearl Place.) According to Art, George was hit in the
head during a robbery and never fully recovered, according to family records,
verbal. apparently Candice (Dacy) divorced George, she kept the farm? (What
farm was there as Stanley said they lived next to the police station and Aunt
Dacy fed meals to the prisioners) He re-married a woman named Dolly, of whom
no one knows much about as she was quite strange according to family records.
George & Dolly settled in Wayne, or Dearborn. The Gleenwood Cemetary in Wayne
has him listed as buried there, but no one can find the tomb stone. His
obituary from Petoskey says he was buried in Petoskey.He is listed in the 1884 census as living in Emmet Co, Petoskey, and then in
the 1900 census as living in Wayne MI. Family history has said he went to IA,
with his family, for four years, but no documentation of that has ever been
found.
AKA "Dacy"
Father was Jarred L. Place, mother Hagra Barbara Williams,
refer to parents notes for family and census records.The name Josephine comes from Candaces grandmother, Eunice Josephine Long
who was supposed to have been a full blooded Native American Indian.
Candace was called Dacy according to Art Carpenter, who has letters signed by
her, as she was his grandmother.
According to Stanley Proctor, Grand borrowed some money from Edwin Place,
to start a garage in Commerce MI. During the summer of 1918, when Stanley was
working at his Grandfathers, Edwin Place, helping him build his house, they
went to visit Grant in Commerce. Edwin wanted to make sure that he was working
and that the garage was a good business. Some years later, in 1937, Stanley
relates that he bought a 1937 Chevrolet from Grand, while he was working as a
salesman at the dealership in Milford MI. According to Stanley he may have
owned the dealership by 1937 or 39.This Family Line submitted by John E. Proctor (brn 1933) of Stilwell KS. 4/96

The following is related by Henry A. Mosher: Jessie Maria Adams
was a tall (6ft) handsome lady, always slender in her younger years
and heavier after menopause. She was a delightful, friendly person,
loved and admired by everyone who knew her. She was completely
devoted to her husband and boys and made our home a happy home. Pop
and Mom were both very supportive of their boys, but did not hesitate
to say "no" when we were out of line, and were full of encouragement
when that was indicated. Mom was quite musical. She encouraged me to
sing, and we spent many evenings at the piano singing ballads that
were popular at the time, and also music that Uncle Charles and Aunt
Margaret sang, (also music the Wallace boys - Jim, Oliver and Bob
sang). We have lots of this "sheet music" to this day and Nancy and I
go over it occasionally. I hope David Mosher will stop by and try it
some day. Jessie Mosher was a great letter writer, long newsy letters
that she sent frequently to us boys when we were away at school. If
she didn't have time for a letter she would use a "penny post card"
and could cram an amazing lot of message on that little card. Mom had
a very high blood pressure in her latter years and Dr. Culver often
kept her at bed rest for several days. A massive stroke killed her in
an hours time in 1936. She was a wonderful mother.

Frederic died of a bowel obstruction due to an intussusception (easily
corrected nowadays).

He died very young.

Charles Adams disappointed Henry and Augusta Adams by his decision not
to attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to become an
engineer and follow his father's career in the Sandwich Manufacturing
Company. Not until he was waiting for the train which was to take him
to Oberlin and the Conservatory of Music, did his parents forgive him
for his decision. In Oberlin he met another talented musician,
"Maggie" Jones, as he called her. She came from Janesville, Wisconsin
where her Welsh father, Morris David Jones, and Norwegian mother,
Joanna Hanson Jones taught violin and piano respectively at the School
for the Blind. Charles majored in Voice, Margaret in Piano with a
minor in Voice, which she, too, taught and they were much in demand as
solo performers and teachers. Margaret was also the soprano soloist
at Old Stone Church in Cleveland for a number of years.
They were graduated in 1895 and the following year after their
marriage taught together in Albion, MI, where Charles established the
summer music school at Bay View, MI, and at Cornell, at Mt. Vernon,
Iowa where Charles established the Spring Festival which is still in
existence almost 100 years later. They were asked to return to
Oberlin to teach in the early 1900s. Their sabbatical leaves gave
them the opportunity to study in Berlin, Lepzig and Paris. Charles
retired from the Conservatory in 1936 and Margaret four years later.
Charles enjoyed directing several church choirs and the Musical Union,
was active in The First Church of Oberlin (Congregational) and town
affairs.
