I am in search of a Carpenter family that lived in Albany, Linn Co. This family may have
moved from Missouri to California then to Oregon.
My wife's 1C1R, married a Carpenter, this couple daughter was Candee Carpenter, born
1961 in, probably, Butte County, California, although she may have been born in Oregon or
other location. Candee's mother is: Dorothy Virgilene Pittman (Pitman), born 17 Jan
1973, Missouri; died 31 May 2008, Albany, Linn Co., Oregon. The only information we have
on Candee's father is his surname of Carpenter, albeit possibly a WW II veteran as
Dorothy is buried in a National Cemetery.
1940 census lists Dorothy, age 17, living in Kimshew, Butte, California (Kimshew =Sterling
City, CA) Her parents are buried in the communities cemetery. Sterling City is an old
logging and mill town in the mountains of Northern California. We have interviewed
residence who remember Dorothy, albeit no one has information regarding her marriage.
The following is from "Find A Grave".
