Pioneer Resident
Of City Succumbs
Mrs. Winnie Lee Carpenter, last
member of a pioneer physician's
family, died in a hospital here
Thursday at 6 p.m.
Death came to her less than a
week after she had observed her
90th birthday.
Friday she will be laid to rest
in the City Cemetery beside the
grave of J. W. Carpenter, to
whom she was wed for 62 years.
Services will be held at the First
Presbyterian Church at 4 p.m.
with her pastor, the Rev. R. Gage
Lloyd, officiating. Burial will be
in the Masonic Section of the
cemetery under the direction of
River Funeral Home.
Mrs. Carpenter, who had been
born Winnie Lee Barnett on April
24, 1869, in Sherman, had been
seriously ill in the hospital for the
past two months. She had been
in failing health for the past four
years.
Her father, Dr. J. W. Barnett,
a bearded physician who tossed
restraint to the wind and his hat
into the air whenever he heard
"Dixie", decided to settle in Big
Spring in 1885. That was only four
years after the town had come
into being. There were two industries
here then, the T&P division
shops and the vast ranches.
On one of these endless spreads
worked a young cowhand by the
name of John William Carpenter,
and on his trips to town he became
acquainted and fell in love
with Miss Winnie Barnetl. They
were married here on Aug. 22,
1894. Mr. Carpenter passed away
on June 6, 1956.
Mrs. Carpenter was a member
of the First Presbyterian Church
and her home was her chief center
of interest.
Surviving her are five sons, Ben
Carpenter of Fonlana, Calif., Joe
Carpenter and Henry Carpenter,
Big Spring, Boyd Carpenter, Dallas,
and Sidney Carpenter, Grand
Prairie; and one daughter, Mrs.
Dalton (Nettie) Mitchell, Big
Spring. One daughter preceded
her in death. She also leaves 11
grandchildren and seven greatgrandchildren.
Three sisters-inlaw
who survive are Mrs. Joe
Barnett, Big Spring, Mrs. Ben
Barnett, Mio, Mich., and Mrs.
W. C. Barnett, Amarillo.
Pallbearers will be Travis Reed,
Roy Lee, B. D. Lee, K. H. Me-
Gibbon, Wayne Goimd, J e s s
Slaughter, Jack Willcox and Lee
Porter.
