Thank you for including me. I am descended from Harriet "Hattie" (Price)
Carpenter's sister, Ettna B. (Price) Cobb and would like to have information on the
Carpenter genealogy updates and any new information on the Price family. Has anyone been
able to go back further than Violet Price's book?
I was young when I visited the extended Price family in PA or when they visited
Binghamton, NY. My cousins and I had a difficult time remembering who was who so we
called Jean (Price) Evans the "blue lady" for the color she wore and Helene
(Price) Evans the "purple lady" for the color she wore. (Our grandmother Ettna
would have been the "pink lady"). Hazel caused family feuds so the adults
called her "Witch Hazel." Helene had a fascinating Tom Thumb collection. My
mother was fond of their brother Clay Price who would lay on the couch with a hangover and
sing to her, "Jason, Jason, go get the basin." I'd say there was a creative
and eccentric streak among them which has been passed down.

Good Morning Helen !
First, please pardon my very long delay in responding to you email of ( Nov. 2000) posted
on the internet. I was unaware of it until today. Very recently I was working on
organizing and up dating some of my Carpenter family genealogical materials and just ran
across your email. Am I correct, are you Helen Lynn Carpenter b.) Nov. 14,1950, eldest
child of Ralph Benjamin, Jr. and Dolores ( Rodwedder ) Carpenter ? It is my understand
that either you and/or other family members ( your sisters and brother ) are seeking to
obtain a Copy of the 2000' Carpenter Family Genealogy? I recall back in 2000' I
was unable to locate you or any of your sisters ( Jacalyn and Susan ) and brother Robert
Ralph Carpenter. I recall and my notes indicate when I spoke with your Uncle Donald
Lansing Carpenter back in 2000' he had no idea on your where a bouts nor did his
sisters or brothers. In any event, it is my hope that this email reaches either you or
someone else ( note: email carbon copied ) whom has connection with you. If you have not
already obtained, I do have several extra unopened copies of the up dated genealogy here
in my home office. It would be my pleasure to forward them out to you and your siblings.
The " Revision and Updated Compilation of The Descendants of Benjamin Gardner
Carpenter " Family Genealogy 2000' was up dated by myself and a late cousin
Edmund N " Ned " Carpenter, ll.
Please feel free to contact me via my email address.
Best regards,
Thomas Carpenter Keiper
P.S. A cousin of ours Sara Fell ( Carpenter ) Tiffany, ( eldest daughter of Uncle Bruce
Nelson and Aunt Elsie ( Wipf ) Carpenter ) and I are looking into doing some genealogical
research on the Wilkes Barre, Pa. " Price " Family. Harriet Price, ( Mrs.)
Benjamin G. Carpenter, ll was cousin Sara's grandmother and our ( yours and my ) great
grandmother. Though I was born after her passed in 1958, it is my understand from cousin
Sara and many others " Granny " and her family were wonderful people :)
