Descendant Report for
Henry E. Carpenter Jr.-105033
First Generation
1. Henry E. Carpenter Jr.-1050331,2,3,4,5 was born6,7,8,9,10 on 27 Aug
1834 in , , NY. He died11 before 1930 in , , OH.
(Ida is a widow in 1930)
Minnie Adams Houston recalls that Uncle Henry lived in Sandwich
part of his life. He was full of fun. "Droll would be the word to
describe him. He worked in the factory and never had much of this
world's goods, although he was comfortable." Henry served with the
Union Army in the Civil War with Company H of the 105th Regiment of
the Illinois Infantry and is listed as being from Squaw Grove,
Illinois.
The 1850 Census shows him living with his Uncle Horace Fay and
brother Thaddeus in Squaw Grove Township, DeKalb Co., Illinois
employed as farmers. The 1870 Census shows him living in Somonauk,
DeKalb Co., Illinois with his wife Mary and three children with his
occupation is listed as a Machinist. The 1880 Census shows him in
Arcadia, Carroll Co., Iowa with wife Mary, three children and his
occupation is listed as a Stock Dealer. Henry's biography in the 1887
History of Carroll-Greene Co., Iowa indicates that he was living with
his wife and son in Arcadia, Iowa. By 1895, they were either visiting
or had actually moved to Cleveland, Ohio, perhaps to live near their
daughter Lillian and his wife Mary died there in September 1895. The
1900 Census shows Henry living in Cleveland, Cuyahoga Co., Ohio with
his daughter Lillian and Byron Yant with an occupation of Carriage
Salesman. The 1910 Census shows him in Perry Township, Lake Co., Iowa
with his second wife Ida and an occupation of "own income". The 1920
Census shows him in Perry Township, Lake Co., Ohio with his wife Ida
and his occupation is listed as General Farmer. In 1930 Ida is listed
in Lake Co., Ohio as a widow.
The book "The Carroll-Greene County History, 1887" contains the
following biography for Henry Carpenter, Jr.: "Henry Carpenter,
hardware dealer, Arcadia, Iowa, is the oldest business man of the
place. He located in the village June 8, 1872, and erected a business
house, the first one in the town, that season, and engaged in general
merchandising. He continued in business until 1875, when he sold out
and engaged in farming and stock-buying. From September 18, 1881,
until October, 1885, he was postmaster at Arcadia, and since that time
has been in the hardware business. He has been a notary public since
1872, school treasurer a number of years, and also township trustee.
In politics he is a Republican. In August, 1862, he enlisted in the
defense of his country, and was assigned to Company H, One Hundred and
Fifth Illinois Infantry, and served three years, engaged the most of
the time in guerrilla fighting. His regiment was with Sherman to the
sea, but at that time Mr. Carpenter was on detached duty at Nashville
with General Thomas when he destroyed Hood's army. He contracted
disease while in the service, from which he will probably never
recover. After the war closed he returned to Sandwich, Illinois,
where he worked for the Sandwich Manufacturing Company until he came
to Iowa in 1872. Mr. Carpenter was born in Onondaga County, New York,
in 1834, a son of Henry and Roxanna M. (Fay) Carpenter, natives of
Vermont and New York. In 1836 his father moved to Ottawa, Illinois,
where he soon after died, and his mother afterward pre-empted land in
De Kalb County, where the family were among the first settlers. He
was married in DeKalb County to Mary E. Hasbrook, a native of Dutchess
County, New York. They have two children - Lillian H., wife of Byron
Yant, of Mercer County, Ohio, and Wallace F., at home. One daughter
died at Arcadia in December 1881, aged twenty-eight years, and two
children, Frank and Hattie, died in early childhood."
