G. being my great great-grandfather. Burials of Carpenters in the Willoughby Cemetery: A.G. Carpenter (Amasa Green Carpenter), born April 6, 1828 either in NY or OH. Died November 17, 1881. His son, Charles Thomas Carpenter, born July 22, 1855 Ohio, died October 4, 1930. His wife, Louisa Melissa Willoughby Carpenter, born Sept. 11, 1850 and died December 14, 1934. They had many sons, four whom are buried in Willoughby cemetery: Mark born 1890, died Dec. 30, 1890; Twin boys, dates unknown; and Charley Carpenter (who is actually named for his father - Charles Thomas Carpenter, Jr. born Jan. 22, 1880 - death unknown, but did live a long life. In the cemetery record of which I retained a copy many decades ago, there is another plot with the name Carpenter, but only this surname is listed - no given name, no dates. Then there is a Larry Dean Carpenter buried next to Louisa, and I have no idea of whom this might be, but it does have the year 1938 listed next to it. Also in this cemetery is another son of A.G. Carpenter, Calvin Luther Carpenter, born 1895 in Ohio, and died Feb. 21, 1922. He married Margaret Haworth and they had a daughter named May whom is buried in this cemetery, I do know when she died from a newspaper account which lists the death in August of 1895 and that she was three years old. For a long time I wondered if the cemetery was named after Louisa Willoughby Carpenter, but later I learned it was named by Henry Willoughby (no relation that I can find so far). He buried his wife their and anyone can be buried there at no cost. Penny Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
