NOBLE WOMAN OF WYOMING LAID TO REST
Caroline Carpenter was born in Mineral Point, Wisconsin, on Dec. 5th, 1848, being the youngest of a family of eight children. At the age of three and one-half years she moved with her parents to Dodgeville where she lived until the year 1862 when she came to Wyoming Valley where she made her home with her sister Mrs. Simon Olson and when in the year 1890 Mrs. Olson was called home "Auntie Carrie" took up the cares of the household, and so well did she take the mother's place, that the home plans were never broken.
Simon Olson died in the year 1905, she having cared for him in his old age and last illness with tenderest care. From that time on she continued her work keeping the home for her nephew, Richard Olson, until four years ago, when, by his marriage she was released from her duties but still continued to reside with him. Early last summer she went on an extended visit to relatives and friends in northern Wisconsin and to Hastings, Nebraska, where she spent some time at the home of Mr. George Mizen, who when a little boy, had been cared for and mothered by her. It was while here she was stricken with the terrible disease, gangrene, which caused her death. Kind a loving hands, in return for the kindness shown them years ago, ministered to her every want there and upon the doctor's advise, she was brought back to Wisconsin on Nov. 9th, 1915, to the home of her niece, Mrs. Hannibal Hatch, where loving care and every kindness was shown here. Her life, as the world looks upon those things, was an uneventful one and yet a fuller life was never lived; full of the things that go to make up a true Christian life. She united with the Congregational church many years ago and has remained a faithful member. Her life was one of self-sacrifice, never thinking of herself when there was anything she could do for another. God, alone, knows why she was called upon to suffer as she did but she had implicit faith in "Him who doeth all things well," and her example of patience was a wonderful one, as not one word of complaint ever passed her lips. IT can truly be said of her "She hath done what she could." She passed peacefully away after untold suffering on March 10th, 1916, at the age of 72 years, three months and five days.
Those left to mourn are, one sister, Mrs. E. J. Dunstan of Dodgeville, a number of nieces and nephews and a host of friends, as none knew here but to love her.
The funeral, which was held from the Wyoming church on Sunday afternoon, was largely attended, practically the whole community was present to pay loving tribute to a life of help and service which was no terminated. Rev. A. H. Schoenfeld, pastor of the Plymouth church of Dodgeville, preached the funeral sermon and Rev. I. B. Tracy of Spring Green assisted at the service. Burial was made in the...
