11168. Charles Arthur Carpenter
CHARLES ARTHUR CARPENTER AND DESCENDANTS: By Paul N. Carpenter.
Charles Arthur Carpenter was born Jan. 25, 1863. He married Delia
Hope Bubar Mar. 13, 1890, in Linneus, Maine. Delia was the daughter of
Frederick Hammond Bubar, a Baptist-minister. Charles, as did his
brothers and sisters, attended Patten Academy. Since school at that
time was a somewhat irregular affair, it is difficult to determine how
far a student progressed. He and Ira were stage drivers out of Bar
Harbor for a time. He worked in Linneus in a mill processing hemlock
bark for dying processes. This is probably where he met Delia.
Their children and spouses were:
Ella Vallie 10/27/90 - 10/10/81 Frank Hamilton
Amy Mable 9/11/92 - 7/23/89 Ora Gilpatrick
Frances Willard 5/28/94 - 10/19/80 Dr. Loren Carter
Fred Hammond 9/28/96 - 8/20/59 M. Phillipa Joscelyn
Roland Joy 2/13/99 - 1/11/89 Izetta E. Lidstone
Lewis Jacques 4/ 5/05 - 3/28/87 Charlotte Augustinus
Paul Nathaniel 6/ 9/10 - Elaine E. Shaw
Ella, Amy, Frances and Fred were born in Linneus. Roland, Lewis,
and Paul were born in Patten. Charles moved to Patten between 1894 and
1899. Deeds show that he bought property in Patten in 1901.
(con).
In Patten, Charles and Ira owned a farm on the Happy Corner road,
later called the Harrington farm (they sold to Joseph Harrington). At
the same time they sold that farm, Ira went into town and Charles
bought a farm at the corner of Happy Corner and Frenchville roads,
where he lived until his death in 1921. The farm was sold by Delia in
the fall of 1921.
Charles worked as a farmer. During the winter months the horses
were used for work in the woods. Usually one team was rented for woods
work or with a teamster for the winter. The other team stayed on the
farm and Charles would contract to deliver supplies for woods
operators, preferably not more than 112 days travel into the woods.
This allowed him to be home at night.
It was an one of these trips into the woods that he developed a
strangulated hernia, which was not readily reduced. He was brought
from the woods, went by train to Bangor where surgery was performed.
Gangrene developed, and there being no anti-biotics at that time, he
died at age 58. Delia died Sept 22, 1926.
At the time of his death, Charles left his wife Delia, seven
children, and seven grandchildren. In the years since then, the
number of his descendants has grown substantially. At the time of
this writing, they include:
7 children
20 grandchildren
63 great grandchildren
78 great great grandchildren

CARPENTER'" 6212, of Joseph 3952, Samuel 23, Abiah 64, Thomas 248, Thomas 775, James 1879, Joseph 3952. Gen. II. Children 2, b. in Portsmouth, R. I. 7574. I. George Moulton was b. April 22, 1844; d. suddenly at Katwyk in Holland, Sept. 30, 1896, while on a European tour for his health. After residing for some time at his birthplace. Judge Carpenter removed to New Bedford, Mass. where he attended the public schools of that city, afterwards finishing his common education at the grammar schools of Providence. For some years after graduation from the higher branches, he engaged in various work, and later entered Brown university, where, after hard study, he was graduated with honors in 1864. While attending this university he was elected a member of the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity. He was employed as a reporter for the Providence Evening Press, the Providence Daily Journal, and in the courts; he studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1867, and practised at Providence for 15 years: on July i, 1880, he was appointed by the Gov- ernor one of the commissioners to revise the laws of Rhode Island: in April, 1S82, he was elected by the general assembly a justice of the supreme court of the state ; he resigned that office Jan. i, 1885 and on Jan. 2, 1885 became United States district judge for the district of Rhode Island, which office he now, July, 1896, holds. On March 6, 1S91, he was elected by the city council to collect and print the early records of the town of Providence. The following are extracts taken from the Providence, R. I. Daily Jour7ial : " He held office in the following organizations : First Vice-President of the Rhode Island Histor- ical society. President of the A. E. Club, Commander ad vitam of the Worshipful society of K. D., Vice-President of the Providence Art Institute, President of the Providence Bar club and President of the Providence Homeopatliic Dispensary.

He was raised to the degree of Master Mason in St. John's Lodge, No. i, of this city June 18. 1873. and exalted to the degree of Holy Royal Arch in Providence Chapter April 2, 1874. He received the degrees in Providence Council of Royal and Select Masters in June No. 7569; Family 1422. REHOBOTH FAMILY. 721 and December, 1S74, and was created a Knight of the Temple in St. John's Commandery, No. i, May 18, 1874. In October and November of that year he received the Scottish Rite degrees and Sept. 19, 1882, was crowned an Inspector General at Boston. On Sept. 15, 1886, he was made an active member of the Supreme Council of 33d degree Masons for the Northern Jurisdiction. In many of these bodies he has held high office and last year was elected Eminent Commander of St. John's Commandery. In this position he received the various commanderies from different parts of the country wliich stopped in this city on their way to and returning from the triennial conclave of Knights Templar in Boston in August of last year. Some months ago, Judge Carpenter with his most intimate associates, Judge Eugene F. Warner and attorney Walter B.Vincent, planned to take a vacation trip through Europe during the summer. They left here July 9, and all indications pointed to a most pleasant experience. Information of the sad ending of the journey was received with general sorrow throughout the city Friday, for Judge Carpenter was widely known and highly regarded for his genial person- ality and kindly ways. Judge Carpenter was a prominent churchman, being a member of St. John's church. He was also one of the founders of the Churchman's club of this city.'" A copy of a letter, by Judge P. E. Tillinghast of Providence, R. I., addressed to the chairman of a meeting of a full bench of U. S. circuit court of appeals on the life and character of the late Judge Carpenter : " Providenxe, Oct. 22. 1896. Hon. Charles E. Gorman, Chairman, etc.: Dear Sir: — As I shall be unable to attend the bar meeting to be held in honor of the memory of the late Hon. George M. Carpenter, Judge of the United States district court, for the district of Rhode Island, I desire to express througli you my high appreciation of the character and ability of the deceased. While at the bar I looked upon him as a remarkably well read, progressive and thoroughly equipped lawyer, and after his elevation to the bench of the state supreme court, I considered him peculiarly well qualified for the discharge of the high trust committed to him. Judge Carpenter was eminently a self-poised man. He thought out the problems of law, as well as the problems of life, for himself, using other men's thoughts, not as a guide, but simply as. an aid in his own processes, so that when he reached a conclusion it was essentially his own, and having thus reached it, he was exceedingly confident as to its correctness. In fact, I think he seldom had any misgivings with regard to the correctness of his conclusions. He had a very logical mind, clear and sharp-cut, a mind thoroughly trained and disciplined to accurate and even mathematically exact methods of thinking, and he felt sure it could be safely trusted and relied on to do good work. He was a very methodical man. Indeed, I have never known one more thoroughly so than he. While at the bar, he adopted and carried out a system of work in his office which enabled him at a moment's notice to put his hand upon any paper pertaining to any case he ever had under his control. He was thus enabled to work with the least possible friction, and to instantly com- mand the aid of everything in his office relating to the matter immediately before him. His system was so complete in all its details, that to a stranger to the method, it seemed intricate and cumbersome : but to him it was as simple as the alphabet, and instead of being an annoy- ance, was a pleasure. He was a man of much and varied learning. For he was not only a profound lawyer, but a man of large literary attainments as well. Possessed of an analytical mind, he readily took in and comprehended the pith of whatever he read, and made it his own. He read much, and he read well. He was always abreast of the best thought of the times, and in fact was himself a leader in that thought. He had a ready pen and a pure taste, which coupled with great facility of expression and a vigor- ous, manly style, made him a writer of no mean proportions. He would doubtless have taken high rank as an editor or author, had he chosen the profession of letters instead of that of the law. He had almost a passion for good books, and was always at home in discussing tiieir merits. No. 7574 ; Family 1425. 46 722 CARPENTER MEMORIAL. Judge Carpenter was a most genial and companionable man with his associates, when on the bench of the supreme court of this state. Never an unkind word or look from him marred the harmony or disturbed the judicial dignity of that body. Moreover, his knowledge of the law and of the great underlying principles on which it was based, coupled with a rare capacity for applying those principles to the particular case in hand, made him a most useful and efficient judge. The only criticism 1 would make of him, and I fear it would be almost presumptuous on my part even to suggest any criticism whatsoever, is that he was sometimes too hasty in his rulings at nisi prius, and perhaps not always sufficiently considerate of the feelings and rights of counsel. But his mind worked quickly, and his first impressions, though sometimes at fault, were usually correct. He was a ready and interesting speaker, knowing how " to think on his feet," and having a good command of wholesome and vigorous English. His style was deliberate and unimpassioned, his language was accurate and carefully chosen, and he always caused his hearers to feel that he had something to say, and knew how to say it. I look upon this sudden and seemingly untimely taking ofi as a great loss, not only to the members of the profession of the law, which profession he greatly adorned and dignified, but also to the bench, and to the state at large as well. Indeed, for some time past I had looked upon him as a rising judge, and had hoped that the time might come when he would occupy a higher position even, on the bench, than that to which he had been called, fully believing that he wascompetent for, and would do honor to, any judicial position in the gift of the government. But, though his sun went down at noon, and though he was cut off in the strength of his vigorous manhood, and in the midst of his usefulness, who shall say that he did not fully accomplish what should be the great aim and purpose of every life, namely, that of adding something to the sum total of human happiness, and of making the world better by having lived therein? Very truly yours, P. E. TiLLlXGHAST." 7575. L Edmund J. was b. Oct. 16, 1845; m. Lydia Etta Snow, Nov. 12, 1873, (1583) second daughter of Alpheus J. Snow of Providence and w^as b. Nov. 21, 1851.
