Mr. Ami H. Carpenter, the oldest inhabitant and one of the most highly respected and esteemed residents of this village, died at his home on Fargo Street last Wednesday afternoon, February 27th, about 5 o’clock, at the advanced age of 94 years, his last birthday being February 15th. Until a week ago, last Saturday, Mr. Carpenter had been in usually good health. At that time he was stricken with paralysis. He had however, been almost totally blind for the past five years.
He was born in Westmoreland, Oneida County, on February 15, 1813, and was one of seven sons born to Jesse and Dolly Herrick Carpenter, all of whom lived to be over eighty years of age.
On September 15, 1834, he was united in marriage to Miss Eliza VanDusen in Lima. They went from there to Kalamazoo, Michigan, and remained there until 1839 when they moved to Warsaw, where he has since lived with the exception of four years, two years at Aurora, one year at Alden and one year at Nunda. Mrs. Carpenter died on April 28, 1891. Mr. Carpenter was in the hardware business until twelve years ago, when the infirmities attendant upon old age compelled him to retire.
Mr. Carpenter was the oldest Odd Fellow in New York State. He became a member of the Warsaw Lodge, Number 369 in 1851. This lodge became extinct and at the institution of Crystal Salt Lode 505, he became a member by card, and has held many of the prominent lodge offices at different times. It has been the custom for several years for members of the Crystal Salt Lodge to pay Mr. Carpenter a visit on his birthday and leave him with substantial evidence of their regard.
Mr. Carpenter is survived by six children, Myron B. of Saint Louis, Missourri; Mrs. Mary Campbell of Lexington, Indiana; George, South McAllister, Indian Territory; Mrs. Gertrude Page of Perry Center; Helen M. and Buena V. Carpenter, with whom he lived and who have tenderly cared for him.
Funeral Services were largely attended from his late residence on Saturday afternoon, at two o’clock, under the auspices of Crystal Salt Lodge 505, with burial in the Warsaw Cemetery.
