Carpenter's father, George B. Carpenter, was the first village president in 1873, who named Park Ridge; his mother was a direct descendent of Puritan John Alden. The composer was internationally famous and with his wife traveled the world, partially as inspiration for his music and partially because "everyone knew them." They had one child, a daughter, about whom Adventures in a Perambulator is written portraying her experiences in a baby carriage in Lincoln Park about 1914, e.g. movements include The Lake, Hurdy Gurdy, The Policeman, Dogs, etc. This very listenable music, beautifully recorded in 2001, has been called a precursor to Gershwin's 'American In Paris.'
