The H.L. and Harriet Carpenter family are pictured in front of their sod house about 7 miles southeast of Holyoke. Hannibal L. and Harriet (Kitchel) met in Nebraska and were married in 1887. They came to Phillips County to homestead in 1893 with three daughters: Ada, Dora and Elnora. Seven more children were born in the sod house for a total of seven girls and three boys. H.L. went to Brush every fall with some of his neighbors to obtain food supplies for the winter. The homestead was sold around 1910, and the family rented a place west of Amherst. They then bought land between Paoli and Haxtun and lived there until H.L. retired, at which point they moved to Holyoke about 1920 and lived at 506 S. Belford Ave. — Source: Phillips County Museum
