Adeline Carpenter

Morris: "On Saturday at 11 o'clock at the family home in Morris occurred the death of Adeline
Matteson Carpenter, wife of C. D. Carpenter, after a long illness, she having been under the care 
of a physician for more, than a year and confined to her home, being treated for anemia, which 
not yielding to treatment caused her death. Funeral services were held from her late home 
Tuesday at 2 o'clock. The service was conducted by Rev: E. E. Hutchinson, rector of Zion 
Episcopal church of that village. Mrs. Carpenter was born, married and spent her entire life in the 
old home of her parents, Otis and Lucretia Bates Matteson. Born May 19, 1866, she married C. 
D. Carpenter Oct. 14, 1891. In infancy she was baptized into membership in Zion church by the 
late Bishop Tuttle, then priest of the parish. She has remained throughout her entire life a faithful 
and consistent member, having been for years a member of the Ladies' auxiliary and the Parish 
guild in both of which organizations she was greatly esteemed.  The deceased bore her long 
illness with true Christian fortitude and she has received most loving and devoted care from her 
husband and he will have the sympathy of all in this hour of deep sorrow. She was probably the 
oldest continuous resident of Morris and her demise is greatly regretted by a wide circle of 
friends. Surviving her are the husband, two sisters, Mrs. James G. Washbon of Harper, Kansas,  
and Mrs. A. G.  Washbon of Binghamton; also two brothers. O. B. Matteson of Otego and L. B. 
Matteson of Winfield, Kansas; also several nephews and nieces"
