Hi,
Does anyone know who these Carpenters belong to? They are buried
in the School Lots Cemetery in Carpenter, OH. On one side of a tall
monument it says "father Jeremiah Carpenter died July 23, 1884 aged 81 y
2m 25d" "mother Sarah Ann Simpson wife of J. Carpenter died May 7, 1887
aged 80 y 4m 15 d"
On another side it says "children of J. & S.A. Carpenter--Abraham
L. born Oct 30, 1825 died Jan 27 1826; William A. born Jan 2, 1827 died
July 21, 1827; Sarah A. born Jan 2, 1850 died Jan 3, 1850" These
children had individual stones a few feet away.
On another side it said "Jeremiah L. Carpenter son of J. & S.A.
Carpenter died Sept 28, 1919 aged 80 y 5 m 10 d"
On the ground near the tall monument were two stones "Jeremiah L.
Carpenter 1839-1919" & "Mary Hauk Carpenter 1844-1931" I have
pictures
of these stones if anyone is interested.
My great grandparents were Solomon and Sudna Hughes Carpenter.
I'm descended down through their daughter Margaret who married Joseph
Riffe. Any info will be much appreciated.
