A. F. CARPENTER DIED. - Olive R. Evans was born in the state of Michigan, June 14, 1836, and departed this life Monday, Sept. 15, 1902, being 66 years, 3 months and 1 day old. She was united in marriage to Aaron F. Carpenter, Oct. 20, 1861, with whom she had traveled life's rugged journey for nearly 41 years. She leaves a sorrowing husband, and three daughters, Mrs. Sarah E. Robertson, Mrs. Angelia S. Cox, and Miss Lilly V. Wilson, to mourn their loss. She had been lingering between life and death for many months; but she bore her great suffering with patience and fortitude and never murmured. She was always a faithful wife and mother and a true and earnest friend. The faithful husband done all he could to care for her during her sickness, and so hoped she would regain her strength. But alas, for earthly hopes! The "golden bowl is broken," the jewel has been taken away, and only the casket of clay has been returned to us to mock our grief, and remind us of our loss. The funeral services were held at the family home, two miles west of town, Rev. E. B. Lockhart officiating, after which the remains were taken to Jacksonville cemetery and laid to rest, on Wednesday, September 17th.
