DEATHS
GEORGE F. CARPENTER~After a long illness, a general breaking down of the physical forces due to advanced age, George F. Carpenter died at 11 o'clock Tuesday night at his home on Marion Avenue. Funeral Friday, November 15, at 2 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. Frank G. Carpenter of Washington and Mr. and Mrs. C.F. Tandy of Vevay, Ind., are here for the funeral.
George F. Carpenter was born Aug.6, 1820 in Worthington Township, Richland County. He was married July 2, 1852 to Jennette L. Reid of Mansfield, whose death occurred in 1888. By this marriage he had six children, Reid, Frank, John, Jennette, Dan and Lizzie, of whom John and Dan are deceased. Reid and Lizzie, the latter Mrs. Findley, are residents of this city. Frank G., the well known journalist and author lives in Washington and Jennette (Mrs. Tandy) resides in Vevay, Ind.
In 1890 Mrs. Carpenter married Katharine Golden, who survives him. Mr. Carpenter came to Mansfield in 1842 and studied law with James Purdy, and was admitted to the bar at New Lisbon in 1845 and formed a partnership which continued until 1847, when he formed a partnership with Gen. William McLauglin, which continued until 1858. He then resumed the practice of Law. In 1874 he entered into partnership with ex-Postmaster Henry P. Davis, which continued for many years and they occupied the same office after the discontinuance of the law partnership some years ago.
Mr. Carpenter, during his active professional and business life, served in a number of official capacities, having been mayor in 1856 and later serving as councilman for a number of years. He was one of the incorporators and the vice-president of Citizens National Bank.
Mr. Carpenter was ever an active useful citizen who has been identified with the growth and prosperity of the city. Not of demonstrative or effusive nature, he was nevertheless a positive and influential factor in public affairs. He was diligent in all affairs of life, was a wise counselor in law and in business and to his public services brought intelligent and effective faculties. In Politics a Republican, he was in on sense a political bigot, but broadminded and conservative. He was the firm friend of John Sherman, when the latter began his public life and was ever his admirer and staunch supporter. His associates in the law practice were men whose names, like his own, are honorably identified with Mansfield's History.
He leaves his family and to the city where his long life was spent, the heritage of an honorable name and useful career.
