OLD RESIDENT IS GONE
Mrs. Noah Carpenter Dies In South Dakota
LIVED IN COUNTY THIRTY YEARS
Body Brought Here Saturday to Burial--
Deceased a Former Resident of Union Township, Moving to Dakota Only Two Years Ago
Mrs. Noah Carpenter, for more than thirty years a resident of Plymouth county, died very suddenly at her home near Fedora, South Dakota, on Wednesday, April 12th, at half-past eight in the evening. Her death supervened an acute attack of pneumonia, which lasted only three days. She was taken sick on Sunday with a slight cold, which rapidly developed into pneumonia, and death overtook her almost before it was realized how sick she was. The Carpenter family were old settlers in Plymouth county and only moved to Fedora, South Dakota, two years ago.
The remains were brought to the old home, accompanied by the stricken father and sorrowing sons, and consigned to their earthly resting place beside those of children who have preceded her in death.
Mrs. Noah Carpenter was nearly sixty-eight years of age at the time of her death. Her maiden name was Nancy Ann Moore. She was born at Wilson in the state of New York on July 17, 1843, where she attended school and spent her childhood days.
Her parents moved west to Illinois, and here she met Noah Carpenter and they were united in marriage at Oswego on September 10, 1860, and together spent more than fifty years of happy wedded life. To this union thirteen children were born, seven of who, six sons and one daughter, are left with the father to mourn the loss of a tender loving mother. The children are Charles H, of Fedora, South Dakota; James B., of Edgerton, Minn.; John S., of Sioux City; Addison F., of Long Pine, Neb.; Mrs. Harvey Patterson, Geo. W. and David W., all of Fedora, South Dakota.
Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter were among the pioneer settlers of Plymouth county, coming here in 1878, locating in Union township, where they lived continuously until March, 1909, when they moved to Fedora, South Dakota, when they had made purchase of a large acreage of land in Miner county.
Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter were happy in their surroundings and prospered by hard work and untiring energy, and were able to afford their children a good start in the world. Mrs. Carpenter was essentially a home woman, and her chiefest care was looking after the comfort and happiness of her husband and growing brood of children. She worked early and late and tended the sick with that solicitude and tenderness of which only a mother's love is capable. Mrs. Carpenter was one of the thousands of women whose untiring work and sacrifice for others can never be appreciated. Her husband mourns the loss of a devoted wife and her children grieve for a fond mother whose love, example and precept have always been a beacon in their lives. Besides
her children, Mrs. Carpenter leaves fifteen grandchildren and two great grandchildren.
