THE SEBEWA RECOLLECTOR Bulletin of the Sebewa Center Association, Volume 27, December 1991, Number 3; submitted with permission of Editor Grayden D. Slowins
Hobart Carpenter, 92, son of Laura (Heick) & Claude Carpenter, who was grandson 
of Charlotte & Cyril Carpenter, son of Rev. Samuel Carpenter.  Samuel (1776-
1861), Charlotte (1816-1887) & Cyril (1810-1873) were originally buried in the 
Carpenter-Reeder Cemetery on the SW corner of Kimmel Rd. & Tupper Lake Rd., but 
when that cemetery was taken up about 1905, they were moved to West Sebewa 
Cemetery.  The generation between Cyril & Claude was a Dr. Carpenter in 
Woodland, whose name we cannot bring to mind.  Hobart was husband of Edna 
Narregang, father of Betty, Beth, Beverly, Linda, Lois & Jerry.  He sold Hudson 
& Essex automobiles & International farm machinery with his father in a 
building in the middle of the east side of the 1000 block of 4th Avenue in Lake 
Odessa.  After burning out in 1920, he managed the Kroger store and then 
operated his own grocery store.  During World War II he worked for Nash 
Kelvinator in Lansing and retired from General Motors in 1966.  His was one of 
two recent deaths who listed their lodge as the long-gone Knights of Pythias.
