Carpenter, Lydia Jane Carpenter, nee Morris
Source: News Clipping [SE Ohio; probably Monroe Co., Ohio]; October, 1943
The Angel of Death has visited our home and taken from our
midst a beloved wife and devoted
sister.
Mrs. Lydia Jane Morris Carpenter was born in Monroe
County, near Calais, Ohio, on October 21, 1876, a daughter of the late Thomas
and Carolina Markle Morris, and departed this life on October 2, 1943. At the
time of her death she was 66 years, 11 months and 19 days of age.
She was united in marriage with James Mila Carpenter on
June 3, 1899.
Mrs. Carpenter leaves to
mourn her sad departure, her husband; three sisters and five brothers; Mrs.
Dianna Morris of Quaker City; Mrs Henry Ullom of Lewisville; Mrs. Garfield
Drake of Mt. Olivet; John and Dolph of Lewisville; Grover of Lily Chapel; Dory
of Fly and Alva of Stafford, besides a host of nieces and nephews and a large
circle of friends.
She was preceded in death by one sister, Mrs. Lucetta
Bunting, on July 25, 1939, also an infant brother Willie, several years ago.
Mrs. Carpenter was a member of the Seneca Valley Church of
Christ, always being present at the service as long as her health permitted her
to attend. Although she had been in failing health for several years, she was
seriously ill only two weeks. All that physician and loving hands could do was
done, but to no avail.
Our hearts ache for the dear one gone before, but as we
looked upon her dear face for the last time on earth, resting so peacefully in
her flower packed casket, we are reminded of the words, “Asleep.”
Funeral services were conducted on Monday, Oct. 4, at 1:30
o’clock by Minister J.V.A. Traylor of Woodsfield, at the Eberle Funeral Home in
Quaker City.
She was laid to rest in the Friends Cemetery in Quaker City
to await the resurrection morn,
Sunset and evening star
And one clear call for me,
And may there be no moaning of the bar
When I put out to sea.
But such as tide as moving seems asleep
Too full for sound or foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless
deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell-
And after that the dark;
And may there be no sadness of farewell;
When I embark.
For tho’ from out our bourne of time and place
The tide may hear me far
I hope to see my Pilot’s face to face
When I have crossed the bar.

done but to no avail.

her death. She was a respected citizen and has many friends who are saddened by
her death. She will be sadly missed in the home and by all that knew her. To
her husband, she was a loving wife and to her children, a loving mother. She
was sweet to us all

And it seems but yesterday,
She was patient, tender-hearted
Night and day till borne away.
Since our dear mother has departed
How we miss her care and love,
And the counsel she imparted
Night and day till borne away.
How we miss our precious mother,
Never knew her worth before;
Here awhile, we loved each other
Yonder-love forevermore.
Yet we should not, must not mourn her
Since we know she is at rest;
For her Savior, he hath borne her
To her home with all the blest.
