Edward was born on a homestead of 84 acres on which his father had erected a cabin and cleared and improved the land. The land was covered with Oak trees and so he cleared 65 acres. The family farmed with a cradle and bound by the grain by hand.
His parents were Edward Hazard Carpenter and Almira Malona Stevens.
Edward Elmer was one of eight children: Daniel Eugene, Victoria Lucy, Amanda Alla, Royal Brant, Ulysses Sylvester, Frank Henry and Raymond C.
Edward and his brothers Roy and Frank came to La Grande,OR. Edward initially worked by driving a freight team of eight horses for William Hunter. He did this for three years.
Edward's brother Frank would later marry another Good sister, Nora, in September of this year. The daughter of another Good sister, Minnie, would later marry a grandson of Edward's older brother Sylvester.
Edward workedaas a logger before becoming in 1904 a hostler for the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Co. at roundhouses in La Grande, Huntington, Umatilla and the Dalles. The roundhouse men who looked after the locomotives and took them in and out of their "stalls" were called "hostlers."
In 1910 Edward managed several teams of horses doing contracting work.
In 1930, Edward and Emma lived at 308 S. 9th St. in Yakima. They had three children at home: Edra, Eddie and Elda. Edward still did contracting work now as a truck driver. Edna and Albert each lived nearby. All were close to Kiwanis Park.
