IN HONOR OF A GOOD FRIEND AND CITIZEN

A Few Incidents In The Life Of The Late R. C. Carpenter

ROBERT COMMON CARPENTER 1/15/1843-1/15/1917: Among those whom the Reaper of Death has recently moved from our midst, is R. C. Carpenter. who died Jan. 15. 1917, which was also his 74th birth anniversary. He was born in Allegany Co., NY, Jan 15, 1843, in which county he grew to manhood. He received a collegiate education at Angelica, NY. He was the son Of H. and Elizabeth Carpenter and was the oldest of six brothers and one sister, the latter of whom preceded her brother in death.

When our country was overshadowed by the sabel wings of war and human life was being sacrificed daily for her defense, he, when but a youth, only 18 years of age, volunteered his services and three time his country's alter was stained with his youthful blood. His first enlistment was for two years at the expiration of which he was honorably discharged. Shortly afterwards again he went to his country's aid and continued in her defense until the war. Hid first military engagement was in the battle of Bull Run, after which his field of engagement was from there to and about Richmond. His regiment held the distinguished honor of being placed on guard at the time and place of Lee's surrender. Because of his learning and ability as a penman he was selected to do much of the writing setting forth the stipulations, etc. of Lee's surrender. He was deeply impressed with the demeanor of Lee and his staff officers when they appeared before Grant and his staff to tender their swords and ever after wards, held a high opinion of them.

He bid farewell to his native state and became an adopted son of *Burton County, Neb. in *1865. Here he became endeared in the hearts of his countrymen and was called upon to fill several official positions, twice representing his county in the State legislature, in which body at the same time W. J. Byran also served, and for no man Mr. Carpenter held a higher opinion. Tiring of single life, and having persuaded Miss Jennie Daugherty, an educated lady, to become his life companion, he launched his boat upon the matrimonial sea. To this union two children were born, Robert and Ralph , the first of which preceded his father to the great beyond.

He moved from Nebraska to St. James, Phelps County, MO. in 1898, where he continued to reside until the time of his death. Here death separated him from his first companion, Nov. 6, 1906. Years after he married Mrs. Laura P. Sutton, a refined business lady of St. James. The two were very compatible and the union was a happy one.

The funeral was held at the home of the deceased, Jan. 18, 1917. The services were conducted by Rev. P.P. Hill from whom most of the data above given was obtained.

Mr. Carpenter was broad and liberal in his vies, accurate in his judgement, conscientious in actions, sympathetic with the unfortunate, a kind neighbor, an exemplary companion, an affectionate and loving father, and an active and working Christian.

He leaves a wife, a son, a number of other relatives to mourn his death.

Robert W. Carpenter: (1881-1911)

DRUGGEST R. W. CARPENTER Expires While Helping Initiate Candidate

Robert W. Carpenter is gone. It is with heavy heart that we chronicle the death of this gifted young man. It has brought the bitter cup of sorrow to relatives and friends for miles around. None more highly respected, none more universally loved. A more severe shock has never occurred in the history of St. James. Stunned by the awful suddenness of it all, it is indeed hard to realize that he has really git the walks of men.

Shortly after 10:00 o'clock, Monday night, September 25, 1911, while engaged in initiatory work in the Yeoman Lodge, Mr. Carpenter was stricken with heart failure, and pitched forward on his face, dead. The lodge room was filled with members of the order, both men and women, together with a class of candidates, the wife of the deceased being among the number. At first glance it looked as if he either tripped or slipped. A second later it was evident he was hurt. As many as could rushed to his side and administered to him. Within a few minutes Drs. Breuer and Allen arrived. Pitted against the skill and efforts of these experienced practioners, aided by friends and loved ones, was Death, who won the victory. For an hour they labored to restore consciousness, but with out the slightest response resulting. It is certain death was instantaneous.

The diseased was born in BELLWOOD, NE, march 4, 1881, at deaths being aged 30 years, 6 months, and 21 days. He was the eldest son of Robert C. Carpenter, who came to St. James with his wife and two sons, Robert and Ralph. Ten years later, on Nov. 5, 1905, the loving mother died, also of heart failure.

After receiving a common school and private normal education, Mr. Carpenter enrolled in the Rolla School of Mines, completing the course in Mine Engineering. He left school a few weeks after his graduation to accept the position of head chemist in a foundry, at Granite City, Il. While engaged there, the foundrymen went out on strike. He then procured a position with the Slogo Furnace Co., at Sligo, MO. as head chemist and later was made superintendent of their alcohol plant. After four years he resigned and returned to St. James.

While employed at Sligo he was married to Miss Anna Eva Cole, of Steelville, a popular young school teacher. In August, 1906, he became proprietor of the Palace Drug Store and conducted a successful drug business. The last few years he has been assisted by his brother, Ralph, a registered pharmacist.

Robert was a great lover of athletics, baseball being his favorite game. During his college days he was considered one of the best catchers in this section of the state. He continued to play the game as long as his health would permit. His last duty on the diamond was performed as a substitute receiver in one of the games during the encampment in August of this past year.

He was a member of the Yeoman, a fraternal insurance organization, and was a charter member of Sligo Lodge, being elected its first presiding presiding officer. He later transferred his membership to the St James Lodge. He was also a member of Big Spring Lodge, I.O.O.F. , having been iniated last May. While he never aspired to public office, he was appointed some time ago to the position of Chief of the City Fire Department.

The departed is survived by a loving wife, two infant sons-aged 18 months and 4 months-a father and one brother.

We cannot call him back; into his dust we cannot put the spark of life. but his memory, that we can keep green and fragrant. We who life shall not forget his deeds of worth, his words of warmth, his life of love, his strong manhood's friendship and his kindled flame of passion for his home, his wife, and his babies.

The Christian minister, Elder R. C. Abram, conducted the funeral service from the residence Wednesday morning at 10:30, after which the remains were tenderly borne through our silent city, escorted by the Odd Fellow and Yeoman Lodges in a body, followed by a large group of sorrowing ones. At the grave, the Odd Fellows performed the last sad rites in their beautiful impressive manner.
