Terry,
A very helpful researcher (Minisink Valley Historical Society) has shared Benjamin's son, Levi V. Carpenter's obituary.It is as follows: (January 1898)
"He was born in the old stone fort, now a part of the farm house of Mr. Henry G. Cuddeback on June 29, 1832, being thus 65 years and 6 months of age."He was married to 1.Mary J. Perry, who died 15 years ago & 2.Mrs. Coleman, who survives him.He leaves besides his wife, sons Benjamin D, Peter E, Sanford, Abram C. Daughters: Mellissa Taylor & Minnie Sterritt.Brother-David Carpenter & 1/2 brother Christopher Hollenbeck & 1/2 sister Mrs Mary Ayers."
Nancy goes on to say,"I have a copy of the death certificate (not really a certificate just a journal entry) He died of Consumption.It only states he died in Port Jervis and where he is buried."
Another researcher from the Minisink Valley Historical Society is compiling information on my Carpenter Line and will share with me as soon as everything is properly checked out.
