Hello,
Ella Ketcham (Baldwin) Carpenter (b. 8 Jan 1877 Newark, Essex, NJ) was a poet and painter
for part of her life.
But, I am missing information on what happened to her. When did she die? Where is she
buried? Can anyone help?
She married Melville Addison Carpenter (b. 13 Jan 1873 Newark, Essex, NJ) on 6 Oct 1898 in
Newark. She apparently lived at 100 Wright St in Newark for most of her life. She divorced
Melville between 1922 and 1930 and this was about the same time her mother died. She had
no children. No evidence of a re-marriage.
She joined the DAR in Feb 1922 and resigned on 10 Jan 1958 at about 81. I have traced her
through the 1940 US Census, but I find no SSN, death or burial information on her.
FYI, She is not the Ella (Haines) Carpenter of Mount Holly, NJ, that Ella married a
Linwood Carpenter.
