CHARLES HORACE CARPENTER
Charles Horace Carpenter was born at Fort Dodge, Iowa, July 30, 1856, and passed away at a hotel in Akron, Colo., where he was called to serve on the jury, Monday evening, Feb. 24, 1919, at 8:20 o'clock, at the age of 62 years, 6 months and 25 days.
His father died when he was but two years of age, and in early childhood, he, with his mother and two brothers, George F. and Samuel E. Carpenter, moved to Chariton, where they resided until he was thirteen years of age, at which time they moved onto a farm in Benton township, where he grew to manhood.
On September 4, 1883, he was united in marriage to Catherine Foster, of Warren township, and to this happy union were born six children, one son and five daughters, all of whom survive him.
In the spring of 1899, he, with his family, moved from their Benton township farm to a farm in Warren township, where they resided until the spring of 1910, when he sold his place and with his family located on a farm at Platner, Colo., where he resided until his death.
In early childhood he became a member of the Presbyterian church of Chariton, where he was an active member for over twenty years, later transferring his membership to the United Brethren church of Otterbein, Benton township, and was a faithful member of that church until called by his heavenly Father to his reward.
He has ever been a faithful Christian worker, true to the trust reposed in him, always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need, and with a character that was above reproach, his life stands a model of justice and unselfishness.
The funeral services were held from the United Brethren church in Chariton at 2:00 p.m. Thursday, February 27th, conducted by the Rev. E. W. Curtis, and the remains laid to rest in the Chariton cemetery.
He leaves to mourn his departure his wife, of Platner, Colo., a son, John Leo, of Charles City, Iowa; five daughters, Mrs. Laura Etter, of Grand Junction, Colo.; Mrs. Elva Johnson, of Akron, Colo.; Miss Lorena Carpenter, of Olney Springs, Colo.; Miss May Carpenter, of Olney Springs, Colo.; Miss Fern Carpenter, of Platner, Colo.; also one brother, George F. Carpenter, of this city; and one half-brother, Clarence Milligan, of Chico, California, besides a host of other kindred and friends.
Text of funeral sermon was "Weep not, the Lion of the tribe of Judah hath prevailed."
