Leonard Carpenter
Former sheriff
Services for Leonard M. Carpenter, a retired trailer park owner and former Baltimore County sheriff, will be held at 1 p.m. today at the Stump Funeral Home in Arnoldsburg, W.Va.
Mr. Carpenter, 73, died Sunday in Orma, W.Va., at the home of his brother after an apparent heart attack.
He was appointed to fill out the term of Sheriff Gilbert L. Deyle, who died in December 1973, but when Mr. Carpenter ran for a full term in the November 1974 elections he was defeated by Charles H. Hickey Jr.
Later in the 1970s, he sold Carpenter's Trailer Court on Old North Point Road and moved to Little Orleans, where he remained until returning to the town of his birth about a year ago.
He had settled in the Baltimore area in the late 1930s and worked at the Bethlehem Steel Corp. shipyard in Sparrows Point.
He took night courses at the Johns Hopkins University during World War II.
He was active in Democratic politics in Baltimore County and was a member of the Patapsco Lodge of the Masons and the Forest Sportsmen's Club.
His wife, the former Constance Simonsen, died in 1986.
He is survived by a daughter, Connie Stonestreet of Little Orleans; his brother, Rex Carpenter of Orma; three sisters, Iva Boggs of Spencer, W.Va., Marion Wood of Arnoldsburg and Ellen Carpenter of Baker, W.Va.; four grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.
