ARTHUR CARPENTER. The intelligent young farmers of Livingston County are the bone and sinew of the community, as their strength and vitality, their enterprise and energy are carrying forward not only the agricultural interests but the foundations for commercial success throughout this section of the State. None of them is more highly prized and more justly appreciated than he whose name stands at the head of this narrative, and his beautiful farm, lying on the slope of Pleasant Valley is well adorned and improved by the good buildings which he has placed upon it.
William Carpenter, the father of our subject, was born in Niagara County, N.Y., in 1818, and the grandfather, who also bore the name of William, came to this State in 1836, when the father was a lad of eighteen years, and they located in Lyon Township, Oakland County. Here they cleared away the forest and turned the wilderness into a highly cultivated and richly productive estate, and here the grandfather lived until his death. The family is of English descent and traces its lineage through generations of honorable ancestors. The father of our subject followed farming in the township of Lyon, Oakland County, until the year 1887, when he died, being then sixty-nine years old. His bereaved widow, who had borne to him eight children, had the maiden name (461) of Catherine Dolph. She is still living, and is being tenderly cared for by her faithful and affectionate children.
The original of this sketch grew up on his father's farm, and took his education in the home and in the district school. His birth took place in Lyon Township, Oakland County, September 30, 1848, and he began farming for himself in 1883, in Green Oak Township, Livingston, County, and in 1886 he exchanged it for the farm which he now occupies, upon section 22, Brighton Township.
The most notable event in the life of the young man before us is his marriage in 1883 to Miss Addie Ryder, a talented and intelligent lady of Wayne County, Mich., and in their home they enjoy the companionship of congenial minds and sympathetic hearts. The political views of this intelligent gentleman are in accordance with the declarations of the Republican party, and he keeps himself well informed as to the movements of national affairs. His handsome farm of one hundred and twenty acres gives abundant evidence that he understands the business of a farmer, and that he has the enterprise and energy essential to keeping his estate in good condition, and making it abundantly productive.
