Obituary.

William Carpenter was born in
Green Castle, Indiana, Dec. %. 1880,
and died at his home in Extra,
Iowa, Nov. IA, 1902.
He was one of the earliest
pioneers of Audubon county, COM
ing here in 1852 and four years later
married Miss Martha Johnson,
theirs being the first marriage
certificate issued in the county.
Their entire married life extending
over period of nearly half cen
tury was spent in this county,
except five years during which they
resided in Taylor county.
During their residence in the
latter place they united with the
Baptist church, and after their
return there being no organization
of that denomination here, Mr..
Carpenter never identified himself
with any of the churches repre-
sented in Extra but ever cherished
kindly feeling for all of them.
He was man honorable and up
right in all his dealings with his
fellowmen. Quiet and reserved his
acquaintance were few but his
friendships lasting. For several
years he had been in falling health
but not until a few days previous to
his death was he confined to his bed. (.
Although loved ones assisted by
neighbors and the Knights of
Pythias, of which he was an honor
ed member, could alleviate his
sufferings, they could not stay the
hand of death, and on Friday noon
his spirit was released from it's frail
tenement of clay to be with God.
His wife and one daughter, Mrs.
b. r. Leamon, of this city are left
to mourn the loss of kind husband
and father, two sisters, Mrs. Stanley
of Decatur, Iowa, and Mrs. Burge of
Anita, Iowa, and six brothers, Mr..
David Carpenter of Spokane, Wash
ington, Mr.. Elijah Carpenter of
Gazelle, California, Mr.. Frank,
John, Henry and Reuben Car.
penter, of Brownell, Kansas, are
also living.
The funeral services were held at
the Congregational church, Sunday
morning, Nov. 16, conducted by the
pastor, w. w. Hartsough. assisted
by Rev. HI. l.. Wissler. The knights
of Pythias took charge of the
remains after the services at the
church and conducted their beauti
full and impressive burial service al
the grave. Interment in Exirs
cemetery.

"E. Knapp and wife, Guthrie Cen
ter, Room g" was the signature
found on the register of the Park
Hotel in this city last Wednesday
morning. There is nothing strange
in this with one exception, from the
press reports in the dailies of last
week the couple were not legally
occupying room or any other
room for that matter. The Rev.
Knapp and the young woman who
was willing to assume the role of
wife without the formality of a
ceremony, came here on Tuesday
evening. Nov. IL, in buggy drivin e
one horse, put up at the hotel and
the Rev. E. K. registered his name
only, and the couple were assigned
the above room. While here he
gave an order for silver polish
labels which he received and paid
for before departing Wednesday
forenoon. On that morning the
landlady was examining the
register and observing the sigma
ture of the man asked him to step
there a moment and finish the
registration. He caught on in a
moment and going to the desk with
out any hesitancy wrote after his
name, land wife" Nothing more
was thought about or heard of the
couple until the notice in the
dailies.
