OLD RESIDENT ANSWERS CALL
Noah Carpenter, Early Settler, Succumbs to Illness of One Week
ATTAINED GREAT AGE
Successful Farmer and Stockman in Union Township

Friends in Le Mars were notified yesterday of the death of Noah Carpenter, a pioneer of Plymouth county and long time resident of Union township. Mr. Carpenter was a successful farmer and stock raiser for many years in the county until he disposed of his holdings and went to Fedora, S.D., where he invested heavily and bought a large tract of land.

Of late years he made his home in Sioux City where he died in a hospital Sunday (transcriber’s note: Sunday would have been April 16, 1933) after an illness of one week. He enjoyed a long and healthy life and attained the age of ninety-five years.

Noah Carpenter was born in Ohio, December 16, 1837. When he was a youth he moved with his parents to Illinois, living in the vicinity of Aurora and Oswego. He farmed there for many years until 1878 when he came to Plymouth county and bought land in Union township. At that time a large portion of Plymouth county was unbroken prairie

WAS SUCCESSFUL FARMER

Mr. Carpenter was regarded as a successful farmer and business man. He was ably assisted in developing and improving the farm by a large family. On retiring from farm he lived in for a time in Le Mars, later going to South Dakota. He is survived by five sons, John Carpenter, of Sioux City, Charles Carpenter of Galesburg, Ill., James, George, and David Carpenter, of Fedora, S. D., and a daughter, Mrs. Harvey Patterson, of Roswell, S. D.

The remains will be brought to Le Mars for interment Wednesday.
