His sponsors were Jeremiah and Mary Carpenter. He was married over 50 years ago to Pricilla, daughter of the late Amos Chambers, who survives him. Shortly after their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter moved to the County of Norfolk, near Simcoe and engaged in farming for a few years, after which they returned to North Grimsby and settled on a farm on the stone road, three miles west of Grimsby, where they lived many years, moving next to their present home on the McGill farm near the lake shore...Ingledale Stock Farm... He is survived by his widow and two sons, Victor R. and Gordon R., both at home and by two brothers, W. Hugo of Vinemount and Andrew F. of Thippen, Sask.
