Biography of L. J. Carpenter, Lafayette Co., Wisconsin

This biographical sketch is reprinted from Andreas,
History of the State of Nebraska, which is in the public
domain and parts of which are now on-line. I have indicated
errors with (sic) but have otherwise reproduced this text just
as it appeared in the book.

L.J. CARPENTER, stock-raiser, Section 29, Mission Creek,
Pawnee County, Neb., was born in Franklin County, Ohio, and
reared in Lafayette County, Wis., where he carried on the
agricultural and stock industry until 1876 (sic), when he came
here and has been actively connected with the same industry
here since, making, however, as a specialty the introduction
of breeding of thoroughbred runners, Ethan Allen trotting
horses, of which his stable who shows a nice variety. His
family consists of one daughter, married, Lorinda P., now Mrs.
Peter Bowhay; Lucien L. (sic), and Lura Myrtle. He was married
in 1856, to Miss parmelia (sic) E. Howe, who was born in
Morrow (sic) County, Ohio, and reared in La Fayette (sic)
County, Wis.

[Notes: The writer reverses "e" and "a"; the family Bible,
written by Permelia herself, clearly gives "Permelia" and
"Lucian." 1876 is questionable, as Leander and his wife came
to Nebraska in 1866. Their son Lorenzo, b. 1863, was killed by
oxen on the trip west in 1866. It is possible they settled
somewhere else in 1866, then moved to Mission Creek in 1876,
but I suspect a typo. There was no Morrow County in Wisconsin;
the writer probably meant "Monroe."]
