Carpenters Funeral Home in Cherryville was founded by descendents of Nancy Tlitha Cuemimoody Stroup. Who is the daughter of Daniel Stroup. Bob Carpenter, a fine researcher confirmed this information. Lord knows where her parents got her name, but Daniel sounds like a man with a great, old time sense of humor, and certainly loved nicknames.
