DIES AWAY FROM HOME
Asa Carpenter, Pioneer of Sheboygan County and Resident of Plymouth Called to
His Reward---Visiting in Minnesota at Time of His Death
Asa Carpenter, former member of the county board and an honored resident of the
city of Plymouth, died at Brownton, Minn., Saturday where he had gone with his
wife a week ago for a visit. Asa Carpenter was born in Sandy Creek, Oswego
County, New York, December 26, 1829 and in 1851 came west, arriving in Sheboygan
April 18. Mr. Carpenter came here with the intention of teaching school, but
through a misunderstanding among the schools he gave up the idea, and
shouldering an ax went into the timber, where he was employed for sometime.
Later he purchased 80 acres which he cleared within a short space of time, and
this was put under cultivation. He added improvements from time to time, until
his farm was considered one of the best in the county. He lived on the farm
until he retired and moved into the city of Plymouth. Mr. Carpenter was married
in 1854 to Miss Harriet Wilson, one of the early pioneers of the county. She
died in 1891 and a year later was married to Miss Edith Chase. He is survived
by the widow and one son, William Chase, the later being a student at Ripon
College, taking an engineering course.
Asa Carpenter was a staunch republican, always taking an active part in
politics. He had served as a member of the county board and for many years was
chairmen of the town board in the town where he resided previous to locating in
Plymouth. Mr. Carpenter was a man respected by all, and news of his sudden
death came as a shock, not alone to the people of Plymouth but in the city and
throughout the county.
The remains will be brought to Plymouth for interment and in all probability
the funeral services will be held on Wednesday.
