Sevilla is buried in DoverCemetery just a few miles from her parents. Over the years, Sevilla's andRobert's headstones had toppled over due to the settling of the ground.  In 1997 the stones were up-righted andrepaired.  Her birth and death datestaken from those stones are:

Born June 4, 1801 and diedDecember 4, 1898 according to her tombstone, which differs from her obituary.

Notes for ROBERT CARPENTER:

[Carpen.ftw]

Robert was born in the OhioTerritory in the area that became Noble County in 1850.

Robert and his wife,Sevilla Gates are buried in Dover Cemetery just a few miles outside of PowhatanPoint, Ohio.  Sevilla was the daughter ofGeorge and Sevilla Stiehl Gates who are buried a few miles away in the BogerCemetery.  Over the years theirtombstones had toppled over due to ground settling.  In 1997 the original stones were up-righted andrepaired.  Birth and death dates takenfrom those stones.

There is a conflict intheir marriage date.  The Belmont Countyrecords show that their marriage license was issued in January 3, 1822,however, their Family Bible states that their wedding date was April 18, 1822.The farm that they lived on was given to Sevilla by her father.  There appears to be a problem between Robertand his father-in-law.  The farm wasnever titled in Robert's name but passed from Sevilla to her son, Robert.

        On the night of April 7 1899, the spirit of George Gates tookits flight to the God who gave it.  Hewas aged 83 years, 7 months and 24 days. The deceased was afflicted for a number of years, but not confined tohis room until the early part of the winter, from which time he sufferedconsiderable; but bore his suffering patiently to the last.  He was born in Belmont county.  He came to this county early in life andsettled in Center township where he resided until his death.  He was loved by all who knew him, lending ahelping hand to those in need and always rejoicing in the welfare and good ofothers.  He was married to Eleanor Brucein 1841.  To this union were born twochildren--one son and one daughter.  Hisson Valentine, is still living and Mr Gaters resided with him in the latteryears until his death.  The daughter,Lydia Jane, and his wife, preceded him a number of years before where he hasgone to clasp glad hands with them on the other shore, where sorrow, pain anddeath can never come and parting is no more. The funeral services wereconducted by Elder Levi Jones.  After reading from the Language of theSavior, touching the resurrection of the dead and speaking a few words ofcomfort to relatives and friends, the remains were conveyed to the Presbyteriancemetery in Malaga where they were laid to rest, there to await the coming ofChrist.

A precious one from us isgone,

A voice we loved isstilled;

A place is vacant in ourhome

Which never can be filled.

Tis hard to break thetender cord

When love has bound theheart

Tis hard, so hard, to speakthe words

We must forever part.

Yet again we hope to meetthee

When the ___ of life hasfled

And in ___ __  __  joyto greet thee

___ ___ ___ tears are shed.
