passing Mrs. Carpenter had enjoyed
good health for a woman of her
age. She realized her condition and
before she was called she requested
that the funeral be conducted at
the farm and that the services be
simple.
Mrs. Carpenter was devout
Episcopalian.
She was confirmed as a member
of the Good Samaritan church, of
this city, by Bishop Whipple, with
the first class confirmed in the then
new church structure.

of seven children, all of whom are

we do not actually need an honest
