Obituary from the Belvidere Apollo, dated 10.8.1886, page 3, column 6: After a comparatively short illness Hon. William Carpenter, a prominent, well-to-do and highly respectable citizen, died at his residence near Carpentersville, Pohatcong township, on Wednesday, September 29th from inflammation of the bowels. Mr. Carpenter was born in Greenwich, now Pohatcong Township, at the old homestead now owned and occupied by his brother, Mr. Samuel D. Carpenter, on the 2nd of May, 1816(should be 1819 and listed as May 22 on gravestone) and was therefore 67 years 4 months and 27 days old at the time of his death. Belonging to a good substantial family he had the advantage of a good home learning and received what in his day was considered a fair education. These advantages were added to a sound mind and a substantial character. With these he entered the battle of life and made it a success. While he was successful in finances he was useful and active as a citizen and consistent as a Christian. Many years ago he connected himself with the Old Greenwich Presbyterian church and became one of its most prominent, useful and liberal members.In 1849 he was chosen deacon and in 1866 he was elected ruling elder of the church. He frequently represented the church in important meetings of the denomination. He was a decided Republican and was active and influential in the party. He held the office of assessor for twelve years. The esteem in which he was held by his fellow citizens is shown by the fact that in 1875, he was nominated by the Republicans for the Assembly and overcame the strong Democratic majority and was elected. He filled the position with credit to himself and his party. In his death his children have lost a kind and noble father, the neighborhood a useful, enterprising and benevolent citizen, the church a conscientious, consistent, a true and faithful friend and generous supporter. Who will rise up to fill his place? His funeral took place last Saturday and was attended by an immense gathering of friends. Rev. Messrs Cobb, of Harmony, Pe**er of Riegelsville and Pritchard, of Phillipsburg, participated in the services.
