           [200-203]

           LEWIS CASS CARPENTER, druggist and grocer, senior member of the
        firm of L. C. CARPENTER & Co., was born May 9, 1848, in Lenawee
        Co., Mich.  His parents, REUBEN T. and ROSANNA (UPTON) CARPENTER,
        belonged to the agricultural element of Lenawee County, where they
        reside still on their homestead of 100 acres.
           MR. CARPENTER is the eldest of three children born to his par-
        ents.  He remained on the home farm until he was 25 years old, when
        he went to Hicksville, Defiance Co., Ohio, and established himself
        in the livery business. He was engaged there eight years, and in
        1881 he went to Tombstone, Arizona, and spent six months in the
        silver mines, returning thence to Lenawee County, where he spent a
        year in clerking in a general store. In 1883 he came to Bad Axe and
        embarked in his present business enterprise, with his brother-in-
        law, DR. M. C. McDONNELL, which they are prosecuting with energy
        and success.
           MR. CARPENTER has been married three times. His first wife was
        Miss ELDORA A. HUBBARD, who died in Lenawee, her native county. His
        second wife was LUCINDA EMERY, of Henry Co., Ohio, the marriage
        occurring in Lenawee County. Two children were born of this union —
        ELDORA, Jan. 2, 1873, in Henry Co., Ohio, and EMERY L., April 9,
        1878, in Lenawee Co., Mich. The third marriage of MR. CARPENTER
        occurred Nov. 19, 1882, to ESTHER F., daughter of SAMUEL CLARK. She
        was born July 9, 1858, in Hope Valley, Rhode Island.  ETHEL, only
        child of this marriage, was born at Bad Axe, Feb. 14, 1884.
