CARPENTER S NEW FUNERAL CHAPEL TO HOLD OPEN HOUSE SUN.
June 12- 4 to 8 P.M.
Public Is Invited
Carpenter’s New Funeral Cha
pel will hold “Open House” Sun
day evening, June 12th from 4:00
to K:00 o’clock. The public is
cordially invited to attend.
W. Cone Carpenter, owner and
manager, in anouncing the open
ing stated “His dreams had come
true,” he has been planning on a
complete modern little chapel in
addition to his Funeral Home for
a long time. Mr. Carpenter has
been in the undertaking busiess
for 32 years and is one of the
oldest licensed embalmers in this
section of the state.
Mr. Carpenter was born and
reared in the North Brook sec
tion of Lincoln county. He re
ceived his first schooling at the
Old Double Chimney School in
that section and then attended
Round Hill Academy in Ruthef
ford county. He graduated from
High School in 1920 and entered
State College in Raleigh. In
1922, Mr. Carpenter took up his
first work with Harrelson Furni
ture Co., in Cherryville and serv
ed his embalmers apprenticeship
under Atkin Harrelson, licensed
embalmer, which the statet requir
ed for two years. In 1924 he re
turned to Raleigh and entered
Browns Embalming School and
after his graduation, he passed
the state board and received his
license from the State Board Em
balmers of North Carolina. He
returned to Cherryville and again,
became affiliated with Harrelson
Furniture Co., as embalmer and
remained with them for fifteen
In 1938 he organized the Car
penter Brothers Furniture Com
pany and Funeral Home with his
brother, Stowe Carpenter, as
partner. Later, he bought out
bis brother and organized the
Carpenter Burial Association
which was located on East Main
Street. Mr. Everett Foster was
associated with him as Secretary
and Treasurer. During ihe next
few years the business had grown
until more room was needed and
a Funeral Home was erected on
East Main Street in 1940 at the
present location. In 1942 more
expansion took place and the
Funeral Home was enlarged.
Seeing a further need for a
complete service, Mr. Carpenter
has added one of the finest little
Chapels in the state to his Fun
eral Home. It has a seating ca
pacity of 150, air conditioned,
has private music room, family
room and Flower room, is modem
and has every convenience a
Chapel could have.
The Carpenter Burial Associa
tion is a strong organization.
They have 3100 members and a
surplus of $15,500.00.
When Mr. Carpenter started
out in business in. 1922 with Har
relson Furniture Company and
Funeral Home, Mr. Carl B. Har
relson, one of the oldest retired
Funeral Directors in the state,
now making his home in the
North Brook section, was mana
ger of the business, and it was
under the guidance of Mr. Har
relson that W. Cone Carpenter
gives credit for his success. In
those days they only had one used
combination funeral car and am
bulance, very small amount of
grave and home equipment. Such
Wings as grass and seats were
unknown. Today, Carpenters
Funeral Home has one straight
ambulance equipped with oxygen
and also first aid equipment. Mo
dem grave equipment, tents,
grass, seats, flower truck, flower
racks and one combination fun
eral car and ambulance.

Eagle Subscribers
For some time our readers at
Waco and Crouse have been
delayed getting THE EAGLE
For their special benefit we are
this week inaugurating a spe
cial service for their benefit.
That is, we have arranged to
deliver the paper in each of the
neighboring towns in time for
the Postmaster to put up all pa
pers on Wednesday evenings.
This is being done at consider
able expense to us as it requir
es the use of an automobile to
make the two trips and also
take§ one of the employees off
the job on our press oay which
is the busiest day of the week.
We are sure our readers will
appreciate this service we are
doing for their special benefit.
Of course we are hoping to add
many new subscribers in and
around those towns.
