This is interesting.

This is Card no. 119.

Name is Dryden Carpenter. Age 65.

He is a white male who says he is widowed. He can read and write. Dryden states that he has lived in Iowa for 20 years. [He must have forgotten having been in Illinois and Alabama!]

Dryden is living in the town of Charles City, Ward 4.

His occupation is as Labour. He was not unemployed.

His total earnings for 1914 from occupation $650.00.

OK- So what is interesting is that Aime Caroline Geishirt was married in 1917/8 to August Bernhart Erbe.

I think Aime and Dryden either divorced or just "left" each other-I vote for the later.......

Carpenter Family - Ella Carpenter

This lady was Dryden Henderson Carpenter's second wife. Ella's maiden name was Carpenter which can be confusing. This was a clipping that I found in my family's collection. This clipping reads:

Last week William Harris received a letter from Dryden H. carpenter of Aurora, Ill., tell of the death of his wife, who died Nov. 29, after an illness of eight months. Mrs. Carpenters maiden name was Ella carpenter and she was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Carpenter who lives in he south part of town.

Carpenter Family - Dryden Henderson Carpenter - 1909 Marriage Announcement

I had found this at one time but lost. About 5+ years I was contacted by a relative through this couple's marriage.

This article was found at Newspapers.com. The paper was The Daily Chronicle, printed in D Kalb Illinois. The date of the paper was 12 May 1909, Wed., page 4.

This clipping reads:

DECEMBER AND MAY ARE WEDDED

Aurora man, Aged 59Years, to Wed Buxom Lass of Twenty Years.

The classic combination of December and May are again to be tied, according to advices this afternoon from Sycamore. In the middle of the afternoon a wedding license was applied for by Dryden H. Carpenter, aged 59, of Aurora and Miss Amie C. Geishert, aged 20 years of Davis Junction, Ogle county.

The supposition is that Miss Geishert, is to come to Sycamore this afternoon and the couple will be married either at that place of in DeKalb.

Mr. Carpenter is a robust looking middle aged gentlement whose appearance belies his years and his bride is presumably a buxom lassie although she had not appeared at the county seat at the time of going to press.

Carpenter Family - Dryden Henderson Carpenter - 1900 United States Census, Alabama, Washington County, Yellow Pint

This is the 1900 United States census for Alabama, Washington County, Yellow River census. It is the 10th image of 25 for E[numeration] D[istrict] 120, Precincts 7-8, Yellow Pines [County], Reeds [the town].

It shows D.H. [Dryden Henderson] was a white male who was born in September 1840 and is 50 years old during the census.

He has been married for 10 year. He was born in New York; his father was born in Rhode Island; his mother was born in New York. Dryden is listed as a Fruit grower and has not been unemployed. He can read, write, and speak English. Dryden owns his property and is free and clear of a mortgage. He is listed on the Farm Schedule [census] as well.

Ella is his 2nd wife. She is a white female who was born in Wisconsin November 1851. She has been pregnant 4 times, and 2 of her children are living. Her father was born in New York and her mother was born in Vermont. She can read, write, and speak English.

Dryden's son Claud I. is a white male who was born in December of 1869; is single and is 30 years old. Claud was born in Wisconsin as was his mother. He is employed as a Telegr[raph] Operator. The census states that he has not been unemployed. He can read, write, and speak English.

Dryden's son Clinton S[hipman]. is a white male who was born in January of 1896, is single and is 24 years old. Clinton was born in Wisconsin as was his mother. He is employed as a Farmer. The census states that he has not been unemployed. He can read, write, and speak English. [Clinton is the Uncle that the Leonards drove to in California after completing their "49 day trip to California".

The last person listed on the census is Winnie G[ladys]. [She is my mother's, mother's mother. Winnie was my great grandmother.] Winnie was born in Dec of 1883, is single and 16 years old. She was born in Wisconsin. Her parents were born in New York and Wisconsin. She reads, writes, and speaks English.

I think that Grandma [Winnie] already knew her husband to be George Leonard. I know of no documentation of this except what I have been told second hand.

I don't think that Grandma was happy in Alabama.
