Belding Banner, 27 Sep 1900

Our people were much shocked Sunday to learn of the death of Mrs. Ed Carpenter 
at her home a short distance southeast of the city, that morning.  It came to 
her friends like a thunder clap out of clear sky, and causes deep sorrow that 
she should have to lay down her life, just in its morning.

Mable Swinehart-Carpenter was born in Rome City, Ind., Nov. 28th, 1876, and was 
consequently not quite 24 years of age.  She came to Michigan with her mother 
in ’83 and five years ago they came to Belding.  She was united in marriage to 
Eddie Carpenter Sept. 24th, last year, and they have since resided on his 
farm.  She leaves a kind husband and a dear mother to mourn her loss, as well 
as a large circle of friends who had learned to love her.  Her life might be 
said to be like the bright sunbeam that for a little while sheds its cheerful 
light and warmth round about and then vanishes with the next passing cloud.  
The funeral services were held Wednesday, Rev. Mcconnell officiating, and the 
order of Foresters attended.
