The father was born in Ehingen, Baden, Germany, March 1, 1850 and pioneered in Ness County, Kansas in 1886. A covered wagon held all of his possessions, his wife, three children and about fifty dollars in cash. He was the son of Mainard and Thekla (Schoch) Haufle. He and one brother, Florin Haufle, left Germany May 31, 1868 and arrived in New York on June 24, of that year. Donatus Haufle died at Snohemish, Washington, on May 1, 1928. Amanda Lucretia Bradshaw was born in Clayton County, Iowa, August 4, 1863, and died at Snohemish, Washington, May 1, 1922. The devoted mother of nine children, she was a pioneer in Kansas. Two children died in infancy, while seven are still living. She was the daughter of Joseph and Caroline (Freeman) Bradshaw, both of whom traced their lineage to the early English colonists. Mary Haufle Carpenter received her early education in the public schools of Ness County, Kansas, and under private instruction through books received from the Kansas State Teachers College at Emporia, a graduate of which was her instructor. During the year 1896-87 she taught in the public schools of Ness County doing the janitor work and receiving $25.00 per month. Nearly every family represented in the school had a different textbook and extra efforts on the part of the teacher to make up what was lacking were necessary. On November 5, 1897, she was married to Allen Wesley Carpenter at Ness City, Kansas. Mr. Carpenter was born in Audubon County, Iowa, June 29, 1874 and was a farmer and thresherman in Ness County until 1913, when he moved to Chanute. He then began work for the Ashland Grove Lime and Portland Cement Company being promoted to his present position as factory foreman. He is the son of Henry and Rosellah (Heath) Carpenter, who came to Ness County in 1886 as pioneers. His parents are buried at Brownell, Kansas. Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Carpenter have two children, Edna Mildred, born August 3, 1898 who is married to James H. Powell; and Edmund Ralph, born July 22, 1900, who married Flossie Vivian Traylor. Both children attended the Chanute High School, while Edna graduated in the class of 1920. James H. Powell grew up near Cherryvale, Kansas, and Flossie Traylor being reared in Ness County. Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter lived in Ness County, Kansas, until 1914, when they moved to Chanute, where they have since resided. Mrs. Carpenter has lived in Kansas since 1886. She is the author of several hundred poems or verse compositions, most of which have been printed in magazines and newspapers. She is also the author of two books of verse, which are nearly ready for publication. Probably the best known of her poems is The Kansas Meadowlark. It has been printed many times in Kansas publications. Much of her verse contains early history or themes reminiscent of pioneer days. A biographical sketch of Mrs. Carpenter is given in Who's Who in North American Authors (volume 3, 1927-28 and succeeding volumes). She began verse writing in 1925 following a major operation which necessitated a long convalescence. Her verse has been used publicly and privately to make others happy. During the World War she was active in Red Cross work at Chanute, Kansas, took a course in nursing, home hygiene and care of the sick, and received a certificate from the Red Cross headquarters at St. Louis, in 1919, with an average grade of 98 per cent. She is a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Chanute, the Missionary Society, Ladies Aid and Sunday School. Since the war she has been a member of the Red Cross.

Quill Club of Wichita, the National Geographic Society, the Sequences Society of Sonneteers of Landover, Maryland, etc. Residence: Chanute.
