i  Daughter Virgie Carpenter , born May 30, 1881, died January 6, 1882.

 Ii  Daughter   Mildred Carpenter born the 20th day of the 12th  month 1883, Papillion Nebraska  (Married name Mildred Chapman, Lansing, Mich.)

From the Andreas' History of the State of Nebraska it lists Henry L. Carpenter Written by William Cutler and published by Andreas in 1882, this book provides a detailed and comprehensive history of Nebraska.

“HENRY L. CARPENTER, publisher. He was born in Lone Rock, Wis, August 15, 1858, where he lived till the age of twelve years. In 1870, with his father's family, moved to Papillion, where he finished his schooling. In 1872, he entered the Sarpy County Sentinel office on the first number of that journal, and continued there a little more than one year. He then entered the store of his father, remaining one year. In 1874, he went to Columbus, Neb., and there found employment on the Columbus Era, where he worked eight months. Returned to Papillion in the spring of 1875, and found employment on the Papillion Times, where he continued to work till December, 1880, when he purchased the Times of A. R. Kennedy, and has since continued the publication of that journal. The Times is a live local paper, independent in politics, with an increasing circulation. Mr. Carpenter was married in Binghamton, N. Y., December 13, 1879, to Miss Emma A. Balch of Binghamton. Had one child--Virgie, born May 30, 1881, died January 6, 1882.”

More from the history of Papillion NE “The Papillion Times.-- The Times was started in the fall of 1874, by the Papillion Publishing Company, who engaged Mr. Frank Horton as editor. On the departure of Mr. Horton for California in 1875, the paper passed into the hands of Andrew Kennedy. This paper was started as a seven-column folio and ran as such until 1879, when it was made a six-column quarto, a form it still retains. In December, 1880, Mr. Kennedy, who had become extensively interested in Colorado, sold his interest to H. L. Carpenter, the present editor and proprietor. Since its change of management the paper has had a remarkably successful career, and now claims a bona fide circulation of 700. It is not patronized by the citizens of the town only, but has an extensive advertising patronage from Omaha wholesale dealers, and others who desire to reach a share of the valuable trade of this place.
