companions and many others were parolled and sent to the Union
lines. The following are his own words of the horrors of Libby
prison:
1 MILI Pen can never write the whole truth, and if it could be told, no
one would believe that it was possible for men to survive it, or
possible that any one in the 19th century could be guilty of
such barbarism. I can never forget that day, no, never, never,
never; my family did not hear from me for five months and I was
reported dead. My first letter to my wife, on a 'flag of
truce' boat, on James river, Feb.22, 1865: 'Dear Wife -Out of
the jaws of death, out of the gates of hell, once more in the
land of the living. Well. Love to all Everett"
1 MILI He was granted a furlough for thirty days, was soon exchanged
and left for his home. He soon rejoined his regiment in
Virginia, on the day that Petersburg was captured, and was soon
ordered to Washington, and mustered out of service June 12,
1865.
1 MILI DEAR MAJoR :-It is with pleasure I extend to you my high
appreciation of the very efficient and successful manner in
which you on all occasions commanded your regiment and the
promptness and cheerfulness with which you have performed your
every duty while under my command. Wishing you success, I
remain,
1 MILI (Signed) J. C. Curtin, Brevet Brig. General."

10702. Jesse Lafayette Carpenter
Jesse L. lived in a large square house built by his grandfather,
Jesse Carpenter, in 1823, then it was " out in the woods, a
farmhouse out in the country. The houses were then from a half
mile to a mile distant from each other. It is now in the village
of Attleboro, being built up all around. At the time the house
was erected it was commented upon by the neighbors as being
built without reason or judgment, owing to its enormous size.
After 70 years standing, it is considered a modern house in many
respects, particularly in the finish of the interior; it is
very well preserved. It was really a wise investment. The
large tract of land of several hundred acres connected with the
home place on which this house was built was an unbroken tract,
used for farming purposes only; by the energy of his father,
Jesse R. Carpenter, who graded and built roads, and laid out
streets. it now comprises the most beautiful streets of the
villageExtract from a clipping of an Attleboro paper:
A pleasant social event at the residence of Jesse L. Carpenter,
June 7, 1894, was the marriage of his daughter, Miss A. Louise
to Herbert C. Bliss, by the Rev. George Osgood, rector of Grace
church of North Attleboro. After the marriage a reception was
given, and with hand-shaking and well-wishes they left for New
York. They received over forty valuable presents, mostly
silverware, which were all useful articles. It proved not only a
pleasant but a very profitable event to the bride and
bridegroom."2 SOUR S203
