June 29, 1878

Last Sunday died at the age of 71, our old friend and neighbor, Hopkins
CARPENTER, Sen., after a long illness. Mr. Carpenter settled here in 1859,
coming from near Peoria, Ill. He was born at Dayton, Ohio, and after having
learned his trade as carpenter went to Natchez, Miss. After some time he removed
to the wilds of Louisiana and occupied his time farming and hunting. His stories
of his exploits with bear, deer, panther, alligators, et id omne genus, were
very entertaining. From Louisana he removed to Illinois, and thence here. He was
an honest upright man, and will be a loss to the neighborhood. He leaves a widow
and eleven children.
