Descendants of Richard Carpenter


465. NANCY16 CARPENTER (NATHAN15, WILLIAM14, BENJAMIN13, BENJAMIN12, JOSEPH11, WILLIAM10, WILLIAM9, ROBERT8, JOHN7, JAMES6, WILLIAM5, JOHN4, JOHN3, RICHARD2, JOHN1) was born September 25, 1810 in Barre, Vermont358, and died November 1881358. She married ALONZO OSBORNE358 January 22, 1831358.

Notes for N
ANCY CARPENTER:
Of Richfield, Ohio. In 1880 they were living in Jackson, Ohio. Last Saturday evening, Jan. 22,(1881)was the fiftieth anniversary of the marriage of Alonzo Osborne and Nancy Carpenter. A large number of invited guests assembled at the Osborne homestead, and gave themselves up to the enjoyment of the occasion. The company comprised people of all ages, from men and women far past the prime of life to little children just beginning to walk.

The rooms were tastefully arranged, above the mantle in the front room were the words, `Osborne-Carpenter' in large letters; below these were `1831-1881' in black and in green moss; below these was the marriage certificate of Mr. and Mrs. Osborne; in one corner of the room was the coat-of-arms of the Carpenters,
Mrs. Osborne being a lineal descendant of an old English family. There were portraits of Mr. Osborne's family, and other appropriate decorations.

Jesse Osborne, the oldest son, and the only one now living was present, with a portion of his family. Mary, the youngest child `the baby' now the wife of John Hood, was present with her family. Martha still remains with the old folks. She possesses a good share of artistic genius and some beautiful specimens of her handiwork adorned the walls. Lorin Osborne, whose portrait hung in the room, was one of the finest violinists we ever heard. He has been dead more than a
score of years. Lucien, whose portrait hung near, was also a fine instrumental musician. He died many years ago. Then there was the portrait of Orlando, who was the finest male vocal musician, perhaps, whom Jackson ever possessed. He was also a fine violinist. He served in the army during the Rebellion. He died about 1870 or 1871.

Alonzo Osborne looked a very little, if any older than he did twenty years ago. He is the same sprightly, talkative pleasant gentleman that he has always been during our recollection of him, which covers a period of perhaps, twenty-five years. Mrs. Osborne is looking somewhat feeble with age, but is exceedingly
gay and light hearted still among her friends. At the party on Saturday evening, some friend presented Mrs. Osborne with a pair of gold-framed spectacles adjusting them to her eyes, she hastily turned to where Mr. Osborne was standing, with the remark: `I want to look at him with them first.' Some friend
laughingly inquired if he looked as sweet to her as he did fifty years ago. Her answer was prompt and emphatic: `Yes, Just as sweet:' What a beautiful example of the constancy of the human heart.

The aged couple were the recipients of numerous beautiful presents, among which was a purse of gold, a dollar for each year of their married life. This was presented by Ex-Senator Dugan, in a neat speech: `We like Alonzo Osborne. We like him because he is a good citizen, a good neighbor; we like him because he is a true friend, and a kind parent; we like him, because upon all the great questions affecting the welfare of his country, he has always been found advocating the right; we like him because in his walk and conversation he ever attempts to scatter sunshine about him and to make those happy with whom
he is thrown in contact; we like him for many other reasons we might name. And we may add that Mrs. Osborne is a fit companion for such a man.'

We could not avoid reflecting as we sat in Mr. Osborne's pleasant home, that it must be exceedingly gratifying to the aged couple to observe the great crowd of their friends and neighbors who called to offer congratulations, and our wayward
muse wandered off in this manner:

`Back through the darkening mazes of the past,
Fondly to-night, imagination strolls,
To where the light of love, its first rays cast,
With glad effect on these two human souls.
For fifty years their lamp of love has burned,
For fifty years with never-varying flame
Each time the anniversary" returned
To find the love in these two hearts the same
A common life-time o'er life's troubled way,
A life-time with its mingled joy and pain;
The scores of friends who gather `round to-day
Prove that the years have not been spent in vain.
The frosts of age, thick settling on their heads,
Bear witness that our friends are growing old,
Let us to-night conceal the silver threads,
By hiding them beneath a crown of gold.'"

Martha Osborne furnished the compiler with the genealogy of the descendants of William Carpenter, No.629; she was much interested in the work, and is deserving the thanks of all interested in the Carpenter family. Her name is deserving a prominent notice. She wrote in one of her letters to the compiler that her mother at the age of 69 years was as active and with as clear a mind as a woman of 30; and that so far they had always been proud of her name, that nothing could be more prized by her children than a record of the pedigree of her
family.

Notes for B
ENJAMIN CARPENTER:
Benjamin Carpenter has a cane in his possession; the tradition is, it was brought from England by the first emigrant Benjamin Carpenter and handed down in the line of Benjamins. The cane is about one inch in diameter at the top and about three-fourths of an inch at the lower end, and weighs six oz. with a nicely wrought silver knob on the upper end on which is engraved B.C. 1660 and is nicely cut. By a casual observer it would be called a turned cane; but by a more careful examination it will prove to be of natural growth; the name of wood unknown. The date 1660 would indicate that Benjamin Carpenter No. 34 brought the cane from Rehoboth, Mass., (as he was born in 1663) to Coventry, Conn. New England we find is frequently called England in the family when they have moved from Massachusetts to another state. The above mentioned cane is now in the possession of Frank Benjamin Carpenter of Providence, R.I.
