Uncle David was the last son born to William Hinton and Kate Hanson Carpenter. He grew up in Perry County and became a carpenter by trade. He met and fell in love with Minnie Lee Dueitt. They married in Mobile and moved to Baton Rouge.
Uncle David built their first home in Baton Rouge at 2015 Birch Street. The house that they built was the model that my daddy used to build ours by. When we visited them, I was always fascinated that it looked just like our house.
Uncle David was my daddy's closest uncle and prior to enlisting for WWII, my daddy worked with Uncle David.
Uncle David and Aunt Minnie never had any children, but Aunt Minnie's mother "Mama Dora" as we called her lived with them.
Some time during the late 1940's or early 1950's, Uncle David went to work at Esso Refinery as a carpenter and remained with them until he retired.
I can still hear Uncle David coming in the back door at our house, he would always say "The ice cream man is here" and he would bring me a box of ice cream sandwiches. I would hug and kiss him and thank him for the ice cream.
Uncle David will always be fondly remembered and missed.
