Charles Carpenter
Number 4320 in the Carpenter Memorial on page 462. Family is number 1146
on page 646.
Since 1869 his residence has been at Downer's Grove, Ill.
He had the usual experience of farmer's boys, hard work during a
large portion of the year and a little schooling during the
winter. As soon as he was old enough he began teaching school In
February, 1857, he came to Chicago and obtained tome work. The
financial troubles of that year stopped his work. He kept books
during the winter of 1857 and 1858; he came to Downer's Grove in
the fall of 1858 and taught school during die winter of 1858 and
1859. The winter of 1859 and 1860 he was teaching in Missouri.
Missouri was too hot a place for an Abolitionist, and he came
back in the fall of 1860 and taught school in the winter of 1860
and 1861.
When Fort Sumter was fired upon, he enlisted in April, 1861, and
was mustered into the service May 24, 1861, for three years in
Company K of the 13th Illinois infantry, at Dixon, Ill. His
three years in the Union army covered service in garrison. On
the march of General Curtis' army from Rolls, Mo., to Helena,
Arkansas, (one of the most severe long marches of the war) and at
the attack by Gen. Sherman on the rebels at Chickasaw Bayou,
(where he was captured and confined several months in rebel
prisons) he was reported for court martial. The circumstances of
his capture are thus told by the chaplain of the regiment:
"I record with pride that those of us who were captured at
Chickasaw Bayou fell into the enemy's hands because, obeying the
first order to "charge," and not hearing the Counter order,
"retreat," we pressed forward through the dense smoke of the
enemy's artillery till beyond the reach of support."
On May 27, 1863, on returning to Downer's Grove after his
release by the rebels, he was married to Mary Blanchard. He
returned to his service and served out his term of enlistment,
three years.
The winter of 1865 and 1866 he reported the proceedings of the
Kentucky legislature for the Louisville Journal. Later, he
came north, taught school for several years and then went back
to court reporting, in which he is now engaged. He has lived
continuously at Downer's Grove since 1868, and has served the
village as clerk, trustee and member of the board of education.
Mary Blanchard, his wife, was the daughter of Judge and Capt.
Walter Blanchard, an early and prominent settler of this (Du
Page) county. Walter Blanchard was a descendant of Thomas
Blanchard, a Scotch Presbyterian, who came from England to
Charlestown, Mass., in 1630. Walter Blanchard's mother, Mary
Tolford Blanchard was a descendant of Lady Kate McCurdy and Lady
Jane McMurphy, daughters of Scotch noblemen.
Charles Carpenter and Mary Blanchard Carpenter had five
children. These children are proud of being descendants of, or
closely connected with, many men who consider it to be their
duty to support the government with arms on numerous occasions.
Their father was a Union soldier in the rebellion, to was their
mother's father, and her two brothers and eight of her uncles
and cousins on her mother's side. Their father's brother, Hubert
Carpenter was first lieutenant and adjutant In the rebellion.
Their maternal great-grandfather was a soldier in the war of
1812, and three of his older brothers were minutemen and fought
at Lexington. Their paternal great-grandfather served under
Washington and Putnam.
NOTE: "Almost all of the Carpenters in DuPage are
buried in Oak Hill or Oak Crest Cemeteries-(they are next to each other)."
