Silas was a son of Samuel Bigelow Carpenter (1805-1933) & Jane Donaldson (1812-1880). He moved to Fruitdale, a widower in 1894 from Seymour, Indiana. He had a brother-in-law Luther Bedell who lived in Fruitdale. Emery was married and came to Fruitdale but returned to Indiana. Silas was a carpenter. I don't know what happened to Elza and Harry except they were living in Washington County, Alabama in 1930. Perhaps if the 1940 census is released there will be additional info.
Someone shows that Emery Carpenter a son of Silas and Samantha was born in 1880 in Indiana and died 1880 in Indiana. He was very much alive in 1930!!
In 1892 wife Samantha died; in 1894 Silas came to Fruitdale, Alabama with his sons Emery, Eubert, Harry and Elza.
In 1930 Emery is 20 years of age and living with his father who is 48, brother Eubert 18, Elza 14, Harry 11. They are in Yellow Pine, Alabama fairly close to Fruitdale area. Emery was married but I don't know to whom; and he did return back to Indiana but the other siblings and father stayed in Fruitdale. So he probably did pass away in Indiana. but not in 1880.
Silas and Eubert are buried at Fruitdale Cemetery, Washington county, Alabama. Eubert married Mary Imo Burkepile and she is buried Fruitdale also. I am not sure where Elza and Harry are YET.
