I'm looking for information about Henry W. Carpenter. From at least 1878 on, he lived in St. Louis, married to Rose Becker. He worked as a painter.

According to census info, he was born Apr. 1852 (possibly in Connecticut or Canada). He died 20 Sep 1903.

His obituary in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch said "Memphis papers please copy."

So now I'm wondering what the Memphis connection is.

Anyone know anything about this man or his family?
