Mabel Bryant Morrison notes indicate that Wooster's middle name was Carpentier and that Wooster's mother was French. It is a guess that her name was Carpentier, but several family members concur.
There is a Wooster Carpenter in the early St. Lawrence County, NY census' who is a doctor and a neighbor of the George Bryant family. It may be that Wooster Bryant was named for this doctor. This Wooster Carpenter had a brother Alanson and father Nathaniel who were both engaged in the Battle of Plattsburg in the War of 1812. Is it more than a coincidence that George H.W. Bryant, almost the same age as Alanson, was involved in the same battle?
Lucinda was born after 1810 and before 1820 (age 20-30 in 1840 census). She was the mother of a daughter born about 1827, so she must have been born by say 1812.
She may have been a daughter of one of Wooster Carpenter's siblings. Stephen, the oldest son of Nathaniel, is ruled out as he died in 1803. The next likely is Alanson (b.1793) who was not old enough to have married and had a child by 1812.
It seems she may have been another daughter of Nathaniel and Abigail (Morse) Carpenter. The problem with that is the number of children they had was 9, and they are all accounted for according to the Vermont Gazatteer. | Carpentier, Lucinda (I1692)

Fallen USS Arizona Marines honored at Pearl Harbor
Nov. 16, 2005; Submitted on: 11/16/2005 06:45:59 PM ; Story ID#: 20051116184559
By Lance Cpl. Ethan Hoaldridge, Marine Forces Pacific
U.S. MARINE CORPS FORCES, PACIFIC, CAMP H. M. SMITH, Hawaii (Nov. 16, 2005) -- The toll of a small brass bell resonates across the hallowed waters of Pearl Harbor. The snapping of colors whips though the wind.
The echo of a rifle volley touches the hearts of everyone who came together to pay their respects to the fallen USS Arizona Marines at the base of a newly erected 36-foot flagstaff and monument, Nov. 14.
Col. John H. Earle, USMC (Ret), Lt. Gen. John F Goodman, U.S. Marine Corps Forces, Pacific, and Laura Brent unveiled the seven-sided base, which displays engraved bronze plaques bearing the names of all the Marines that died aboard the USS Arizona on Dec. 7, 1941.
Mounted to the base of the flagstaff are steel pieces from the Arizona’s original hull used as rebar in the concrete base. A piece of steam pipe from the superstructure is mounted on the base of the flagstaff, which stands in between the USS Bowfin Submarine Museum and the USS Arizona Visitor’s Center.
Of the 15 survivors of the attack, there are only two still living.
Earle was a 26-year-old commanding officer of the Marine detachment aboard the Arizona. He had just assumed command and went home to be with his wife on Dec. 6, 1941. He awoke the next morning from echoes of Japanese bombs in Pearl Harbor.
He immediately rounded up the Marines attached to the USS Tennessee, his former command, and hopped in a taxi headed to Pearl Harbor to get in the fight.
“When I saw my wife a few days later, she could hardly recognize me, because of all the soot and ashes,” said Earle.
Now 90 years old, Earle reflected on his fallen comrades with respect.
“It’s a great feeling to honor my shipmates from long ago, and it’s long overdue,” said the Honolulu resident.
Earle, along with many other Marines, paused during the ceremony as the names of the fallen Marines aboard the Arizona were read, and a bell was rung in honor of each.
The Marines in attendance also remembered those who are giving their lives today while fighting in the War on Terrorism.
Special guest speaker, Gen. Michael W. Hagee, Commandant of the Marine Corps, made a connection with those that pay the ultimate price for our freedom and protection in his remarks.
“We use history to inspire and educate. The Marines that we’re honoring today do both,” said Gen. Hagee. “Marines even today don’t want to die, but are willing to.”
The general gave a simple explanation for this statement.
“It’s for the shipmate on their right and the shipmate on their left, and because they believe in something bigger than themselves,” he continued.
This has always been true throughout the history of the Corps.
“The Marines that we honor today truly set the standard that we try to uphold today,” said Hagee. | Earle, John Horatio Jr. (I40767)

On 25 April, a memorandum was sent to the Director, Civil Affairs Division, War Department Special Staff, incorporating this suggestion and asking for approval. A first endorsement, dated 27 April, approved the recommendation. A cablegram sent on 8 May to Headquarters, North African theater, stated that, although the War Department did not approve blanket recognition of the Rockefeller Foundation as a collaborating organization, it did approve using selected Rockefeller staff members as civilian consultants to The Surgeon General at $1 per year, with assignment upon request of that theater.
In a memorandum on 12 May 1944, the appointment of five physicians under this agreement was requested. The Office of the Secretary of War objected to their appointment as "dollar-a-year-men" as contrary to War Department policy. The physicians were finally appointed, on 6 June 1944, as consultants without compensation but with payment of travel and $10 per diem in lieu of subsistence.
Six staff members of the Rockefeller Foundation were appointed for service in the Mediterranean Theater of Operations, U.S. Army, under this management: Dr. Austin Kerr, Mr. F. W. Knipe, Dr. Floyd S. Markham, Dr. Louis A. Riehl, Dr. Stuart S. Stevenson, and Dr. Bruce Wilson. Two were already in Italy, and the others arrived under War Department orders requested by The Surgeon General. The arrangement worked satisfactorily; the group was attached to the Public Health Subcommission of the Allied Control Commission (later Allied Commission) and rendered valuable service, especially in the control of malaria and typhus.

De Luz, Origin of Name
Originally Published In Village News Feb. 11, 1999
Contributed by the Fallbrook Historical Society
Don Rivers, President
Upon consulting a Spanish-English dictionary to learn the translation of "de luz" we found the English translation to be "of light." The question is "How did the community, surrounding area, local or canyon northwest of Fallbrook become known as De Luz?"
Some old timers have maintained that the name De Luz came from an Englishman by the name of Luce who had a corral and maintained a string of horses at the Hotel and Hot Springs in De Luz, established in 1881. There are several difficulties or contradictions with this claim. One may question how did the name change from Luce (English) to Luz (Spanish).
A quote from Floyd Markham:
In general original place names are bestowed by early visitors or residents of a locality. However, the common factor to all of the "Luz" named places in the various countries is the Roman Catholic Church and its missionaries. It is not unusual for the men of the church to name an area for the saint's day on which they reached that particular location. Our area is covered with the names of Catholic Saints. One of the synonyms for the Mother of Jesus is represented by the Immaculate Conception was LaMadrass De La Luz as seen in a large painting in the Mortuary Chapel in the Mission San Luis Rey.
Markham stated:
The earliest documentation of the name of De Luz locally that I have found is on a map of Rancho Santa Margarita dated 1878, which designates the stream, Arroyo Corral de la Luz. This map hung on the west wall of the reading room of the Oceanside Public Library for many years. However I am not sure if it still hangs there for I haven't been in the library in a long time.
--------------
A modern researcher into the temperance movement was Floyd Markham, one of the Historical Society's early board members. He was fascinated by Fallbrook's resort hotel, and spent a great deal of time researching the name and the movement and the hotel's visitors. He also spent countless hours visiting archives and gathering local materials, all of which he donated to the Historical Society.
I personally benefited from his experience. When I came back to Fallbrook in 1981, after an absence of 35 years, it was Floyd who took me to the best sources and who shared all he had learned. This exhibit on Fallbrook's distinguished women would not have been possible without his pioneering efforts.
