Mr. Asaph CARPENTER, one of the oldest residents of this place died last Wednesday from the effects of a stroke of paralysis. The funeral services were held at the house on Friday at 2 P.M. Rev. Wm. A. ROBINSON officiating. His remains were carried to Glenwood cemetery for interment. Mr. CARPENTER was brought into this town from the East during the year 1800, when he was a mere infant, or as he frequently expressed it was brought in "on a pillow." He has been a continuous resident for 82 years. He was an honest, genial, and upright man, a sincere and true christian, having been a member of the Congregational church for many years. He will be mourned by his many relatives and friends.

Death of a Cortland County Pioneer
On the 18th of October, Asaph H. Carpenter, a resident of Homer, Cortland county, New York, died at the age of 82 years, having been a continuous resident of Homer, during the whole of his life. His father, Noah Carpenter, emigrated from Pomfret, Ct., in June 1800, and settled in Homer. His mother was a near neighbor of General Putnam before her marriage, and her father and brother accompanied General Putnam on his celebrated wolf hunt. His grandmother on his father's side, was a sister of General Ethan Allen of the Revolution. Mr. Carpenter was born on the journey from Pomfret to Homer, a journey that in those days occupied several weeks. He was widely known and respected in Cortland county. He took a deep interest in politics, and was an earnest Republican. Mr. Carpenter was the father of Frank B. Carpenter of New York, the well-known painter of the historical painting, "The Proclamation of Emancipation," now in the Capitol at Washington.
