Howard Brady Carpenter Death of H. B. Carpenter last week. By the death of Howard B. Carpenter last Friday morning, Meridian and Ada county lost a prominent and respected citizen. He had been ill for two weeks, and this terminated in a case of typhoid fever. Mr. Carpenter was but a few days under 69 years of age. He was a native of Illinois., but had lived here many years, developing a fine ranch just west of town. This he had sold but a short time ago, moving to Meridian to discontinue active farm work. For several years Mr. Carpenter has served as director of the Nampa & Meridian Irrigation district. He was re-elected to this position a few months ago, and was assisting in the irrigation office at the time his illness forced him to give up work. The funeral, which was largely attended, was held in the Methodist church in Meridian Sunday. The officiating minister was Rev. W. J. Luscombe, former pastor, now of Vale, Oregon. The interment was in Morris Hill cemetery at Boise. Rev. Luscombe gave an eloquent tribute to the worth and character of Mr. Carpenter and attested to his sterling honesty, his business ability, and interest in all that pertained to the best interests of the people of the community in which he made his home. In describing his eventful and useful life, he said: Howard Brady Carpenter was born in Kendall county, Illinois, July 24, 1848. He received his education in the public schools of Aurora and Old Prophets Town, Ill. In 1906 he was married to Nellie Tyer of Perry, Iowa. One child, John, was born of this union. By profession Mr. Carpenter was a civil engineer and surveyor, and several of the important surveys of the United States government have been under his management. His first work in surveying was in southern Ohio, from which state he went to New York, where he was engaged in several surveys in the Catskill mountains and also taught school for two winters. He returned to Illinois for a short time when he crossed the plains to California and it was here in the great west that most of his work was done. In San Francisco, he surveyed street railway routes and as we tour California in our automobiles the most beautiful road we spin along, the Tiago Road was surveyed by him. The boundary disputes of the western states have been largely entrusted to his care. From 1900 to 1907 he was employed by the federal government in establishing the boundary lines between Utah and Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico and Oklahoma; and the eastern boundary line of Idaho where the Bitter Root range divides this state from Montana. The establishing of this line on the water shed of the untrod Bitter Root consumer four summers and carried him into fastnesses and on lofty peaks which seldom see the presence of man. Mr. Carpenter came to Meridian in the spring of 1908 and his ten year's residence in this locality had become identified with many of the prominent interests of the community. For the past seven years he has been one of the directors of the Nampa and Meridian Irrigation district, in which business he took the keenest interest, often assisting with his experience as engineer as well as in the management of its affairs, and for four years he served as it president. He was also intimately associated with the First National Bank of Meridian as a director, with the Methodist church as a trustee, was a member of the Meridian school board, and was one of the founders of the Meridian Building & Loan Association. These organizations are all represented in the selection of pall bearers. Meridian Times (Meridian, Idaho), July 27, 1917. Francis Church CHURCH. The funeral of Francis, son of Mr. and Mrs. F.F.
