Carpenter, Charles E., was born in Saratoga Springs, April 5, 1855, ason of Charles and Electa (Wells) Carpenter.
Mr. Carpenter has been twenty-three years in the shoe business, all of which time he has been connected with the
same house. The business of Herrick & Lodewick, which he now conducts, was first started by J. L. Dodge of
Troy, who sold out to William C. Herrick and Jeremiah Lodewick. Mr. Lodewick died April 18, 1894, and his interest
was purchased by Mr. F. C, Herrick in the spring of 1898. The business is nominally in charge of Carpenter &
Caikins. The house carries one of the largest stocks of boots and shoes in Saratoga Springs, and. Mr. Carpenter's
long experience in this business enables him to control and retain the public patronage. In 1881 Mr. Carpenter
married Anna M. Crary, daughter of John Crary of Amsterdam. Mr. Carpenter was a charter member of the 22d Separate
Company and served an enlistment of five years, receiving an honorable discharge.
