H. 0. (Oscar) Carpenter was born at what is now Pyriton, Alabama, December 14, 
1876 and passed away at the same place March 20, 1938, being 61 years, three 
months and six days old. lie was married to Miss Carrie Headrick December 5, 
1895. To this union was born one son, Wilmer Carpenter, who, together with his 
mother, survive the deceased. Also surviving the deceased are five 
grandchildren. Mr. Carpenter joined the Baptist church at New Hope, near 
Lineville, and was baptized by Rev. S. J. Ingram on August 9, 1905. On July 
1908, he transferred his membership to Concord Baptist church near Pyriton, 
where he remained a member until the time of his death, having been a deacon in 
the latter church since November 3, 1935. Mr. Carpenter spent his entire life in 
Clay County near his birthplace. He lived a constant Christian and was active in 
every church and civic activity for the betterment of his community and county, 
always seeking an opportunity to help his fellowman. He was liberal in his 
support to the church and school and contributed in every way possible for the 
upbuilding of his community and state by giving freely of his means, time and 
influence in an effort to aid every good and progressive cause. He was 
charitable toward every underprivileged man or woman, and ever stood ready to 
throw the mantle of charity over their mistakes and to take them by the hand and 
lift them up to a higher and nobler plane of living. He was most devoted to his 
family, and never spared any cost or effort on his part that would add to their 
comfort and well-being. He was kind and noble honest to the highest degree in 
his dealings with all men everywhere, and his life was such to fully merit 
emulation by everyone who desires to live a noble and upright life. May the 
memory of his good deeds linger always with those who knew him. One who knew him 
well and long.
