Jane Carpenter
Benji Jane Archer was born April 28, 1911 to Ann and William Archer, from Archer Hill, Fiddle Lake, Pa. She had 2 siblings, a brother, Theodore and a sister, Mildred. She and her siblings were home schooled by their father. Once Jane reached the third grade level, she was sent to a 1 room school house and attended there until the eighth grade. At age 17, Jane left home and got her first job caring for children. At 18, she began her career as a sewing machine operator and worked 26 years for Katz Factory in Honesdale.
In 1944, she met and married her husband Emerson Carpenter, and moved to the Waymart area. Jane had no children of her own, but became Step-mom to Emersons’s five children. Jane became an active member of the Waymart First Baptist Church. She served on many committees including Missions and also taught Sunday school.
At age 95, Jane was no longer able to live alone and became a resident at Sponji Manor, Waymart until it closed in 2012. She now makes her home at the Forest City Personal Care where she has made many new friends.
