SUMMONED TO HER HOME
Death of Mrs. A. Carpenter at the Home of Dr. Taylor
FUNERAL OBSEQUIES
Largely Attended Monday Afternoon
Again has death invaded our midst. It becomes our sad duty this week to announce the death of Mrs. A. Carpenter. She died at the home of her son-in-law, Dr. M. J. Taylor shortly before the hour of twelve on Saturday the 16th. While the death of Mrs. Carpenter had been anticipated for some days yet the final announcement was received with expressions of regret and sorrow on all sides. It produced a feeling of profound sadness in the community. The deceased had been so long an active participant in the life of the community, was so well known, had mingled with so many people socially and religiously her death could not be otherwise than the source of great sorrow.
Two months ago Mrs. Carpenter was in the enjoyment of perfect health, or as nearly so as may be possible with an aged person. She was able to attend to her customary duties, to look after her business affairs and attend church. Her final sickness dates from an injury received about six weeks ago the details of which appeared in these columns at that time when she accidentally fell and suffered the fracture of a hip. She was at the home of Dr. Taylor and immediately had all the care necessary in so serious an injury. For a time she seemed to improve and it was confidently believed that with the approach of spring she would recover permanently. But later an aggravating trouble appeared in the form of an abscess on her neck, the nature of which baffled the most skillful treatment. Under its effects the patient gradually grew weaker as the days went by until the end came. It was really the cause of final dissolution.
The deceased was born in Medina, Ohio, on July 2nd, 1833, and to the time of her death she was 70 years, 6 months and 14 days old. Here she resided until in the early fifties when she was married to Adna Carpenter. She immediately came west with her husband settling in this vicinity where she has ever since resided. She was one of the early pioneers of the county and together with her husband she endured with extreme fortitude the hardships incident to pioneer life. She was a faithful helpmeet, a just and affectionate wife and mother, and a lovable woman, impressing her individuality in a quiet way upon all with whom she associated. She made no pretentions whatever and did not assume to leadership in the church or society. Nevertheless her life was such that she drew people unconsciously perhaps to the better life. Especially was this the case with the younger people. She was a great lover of children and drew them to her as does the mother who looks with affection upon her loved ones and guards them. And all the children were her friends and loved her as a mother. No greater tribute may be paid to any person than that she was the friend of the young and that the young were her friends.
Two children, Mrs. M. J. Taylor, and Miss Cora Carpenter, are left to mourn her loss. Her husband died some years ago. The funeral was conducted Monday afternoon from the residence of Dr. Taylor, Rev. J. P. McCoullough officiated. A large number of people, former friends and associates paid their last tribute of respect by attending. Many beautiful flowers were placed on the coffin, silent tributes of love and regard. The remains were interred in the Janesville cemetery.
Mrs. Carpenter was a lifelong member of the Episcopal church reflecting her faith, her sincerity, her religious life in all that she did and all that she spoke. She was a sincere christian woman whose noble life is worthy of emulation. Relatives from out of town attended the funeral as follows: Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Carpenter and Mrs. M. A. Ostrader, of Kasota, Mrs. C. B. Carpenter, of St. Peter, Mrs. Jennie Burnett, of Waseca, Hon. Horace Cummins, of Eagle Lake.
One by one humanity is going to its long home. Every day, every week adds new names to the long procession. Now someone is taken in the full enjoyment of health, summoned suddenly, with the future bright, with no cloud to obscure the vision of human life and happiness. Then again the summons comes to the patient one who for weeks and months perchance has been the victim of suffering. Again it comes to the young in childish innocence. It has no limit, it knows no age, it is governed by no conditions. Its increasing frequency should remind us all that as mortals rapidly hastening to the tomb we should ever by ready for in such a moment as we know not we may be called.
