     § 949. MARY HOXSIE HAZARD, 7 (Doctor George, 6; Judge Carder, 5; 
     
     Governor George, 4; Colonel George, 3; Robert, 2; Thomas, 1), was born March 
     
     10, 1815, at South Kingstown, Rhode Island. She married, June 16, 1847, Rev— 
     
     erend James Carpenter; he died February 18, 1881. Her brothers often declared 
     
     that she had never consciously done a wrong to herself or to others ; combined 
     
     with her gentle manner and soft voice, was a keen sense of humor. The quaint 
     
     stories, recollections of her old home on her father’s farm, and her early married 
     
     life in the old Willett homestead in Boston Neck, were told with a charming 
     
     grace and thorough appreciation. Always of a delicate constitution, she was for 
     
     the greater part of her life a confirmed invalid and “mother’s room and invalid 
     
     chair” became the centre round which clustered every thought of the household, 
     
     and the devotion of her three daughters. A more united, unselfish household it 
     
     would be difficult to find. “ Thine ease, not mine” was the watchword. 
     
    

    
     Mr. Carpenter at the early age of fifteen went to Providence, Rhode Island, and 
     
     entered on a business training, remaining there eleven years. His fine moral sense 
     
     soon developed into a strong religious faith, under the influence of the Rev. 
     
     John A. Clark, the devoted rector of Grace Church, and he was confirmed at the 
     
     age of twenty—five. Entering upon his new responsibilities with the quiet faith— 
     
     fulness which characterized him, he ably assisted Mr. Clark in parish work. 
     
    

    
     His decision to enter the priesthood was made at a sacrifice of the most promis— 
     
     ing prospects of success in business life. But one of his singular purity of nature 
     
     could set but small value upon material gains. He pursued his studies at the 
     
     General Theological Seminary, New York, from 1838 to 184.2, providing for his 
     
     simple wants by his own industry. He was ordained deacon, 1842, at Gardiner, 
     
     Maine, by the venerable Bishop Griswold, and was ordained priest by Bishop 
     
     Henshaw, always one of the truest and warmest of his personal friends. His 
     
     parochial charges as missionary, were in Providence and Cumberland, and those 
     
     held by him as rector, in Manville and Wakefield, Rhode Island. His sermons 
     
     were composed with singular zeal and diligence, were systematic in thought, 
     
     pointed in style, and deeply devout in spirit. As parish priest he was faithful and 
     
     gentle in his relations with his people. His ministrations in houses of mourning 
     
     are still cherished in grateful remembrance; and his watchfulness over the young 
     
     was touchingly illustrated in the revival of old associations at his funeral.
