DEATH OF MRS CARPENTER

[Welland Telegraph, 23 January 1891]

About three months ago Wm. Carpenter was drowned at Buffalo, and on Sunday last his widow succumbed to typhoid pneumonia, leaving a family of five children-four sons and one daughter, the oldest being a son of 20 years of age. The remains were brought to Welland on Monday evening, and the funeral took place on Tuesday from the residence of Mr. Jas. O.Brien, to the R.C. Cemetery. Much sympathy is felt for the sorrowing family, who in so short a time were bereft of both parents, leaving a family of five children-four sons and one daughter, the oldest being a son of 20 years of age.
