MR. J. C. CARPENTER DEAD
Former Associate Editor Of The Sun Expires at His Home.
KNOWN IN LITERARY WORLD
Native of Baltimore—Was Son Of Wm. H. Carpenter—Noted As Book Reviewer.
Mr. John C. Carpenter, 72 years old, formerly an associate editor of The Sun and a widely known literary man, died yesterday at his home, Jerusalem Mills, about four miles from Bradshaw, Baltimore county, after an illness of several months.
Born in Baltimore, Mr. Carpenter was the only son of the late William H. Carpenter, known for many years as one of the most distinguished men of letters in Maryland.
Mr. Carpenter followed in the footsteps of his father, who was also an editorial writer for The Sun for a quarter of a century. Through his careful home training Mr. Carpenter had learned to read only that which was best in literature and his ability as a critic was soon recognized. The Sun employed him as its book reviewer, in which capacity he remained until the death of his father, in 1899. Since that time he has contributed largely to magazines, both as a reviewer and an author.
Style Forceful And Graceful.
His style was graceful and his words were forceful. His comments on the works he criticised were in a spirit of fairness which earned for him the respect of authors as ell as his readers.
Mr. Carpenter was acquainted intimately with some of the most prominent men in the educational, literary and political life of the State. The late Severn Teackle Wallis, eminent lawyer and political independent, was his personal friend, as was Prof. William Hand Browne, former professor of English at the Johns Hopkins University. The late Major Thomas W. Hall, for many years an associate editor of The Sun, was another of his associates.
Occasionally Mr. Carpenter contributed to the editorial page of The Sun, although he was never a regular writer in that department. In this also he inherited much of the vigor displayed by his father.
About four years ago he married for the second time, the wedding taking place at the Hotel Altamont. He leaves several children by his first marriage.
