E-mail from Beverly Davis Valcovic received June 3ed, 2001 provided the following information, a portion of which was taken from a copy of his Civil War records that are in her possession
In 1850 Squire Henry Carpenter (1844-1922) lived in Susquehanna Co., PA. According to Civil War records, did not know the township or post office. In 1860, Henry lived with his parents in Freedom Township IL (LaSalle Co.) The post office address was Ottawa IL. (9 miles north)
Henry was discharged after about a year of service in the "War of the Rebellion" because of a wound to his right shoulder which shattered the bone and caused the right arm to be almost entirely useless. He was wounded on 15 October 1864 at Resaca GA. He was a farmer by profession.He is described as being 5' 4 1/2" with hazel eyes, a dark complexion and brown hair.
His wife (2nd wife--Martha Elizabeth Putnam [Lizzie]) filed for his pension after his death and found herself so involved in red tape (including letters from a Nebraska Representative and the Nebraska senator at the time on her behalf) that she died before she received it. Lots of family data and some of interest only to immediate family. One of the letters in the file was from a local Doctor certifying that Sq. Henry was dead--the same doctor delivered my father.
Again, thanks!

Squire Henry Carpenter c. 1894
It is a with a feeling of profound regret that the Telescope this week records the death of another of the old and highly respected citizens of Hildreth and the last of the surviving veterans of the civil war in this vicinity, in the person of Mr. S. H. Carpenter. For some times past his friends noted with sorrow his gradual decline and although he had lived to a ripe old age, the news of his death was nevertheless received with sincere regret. He was an exemplary citizen, a loving and devoted husband and father, and a friend to everybody.
Squire Henry Carpenter was born at Luzerne, Luzerne Co, Pa., January 9, 1844 and died February 25, 1922 at his home in Hildreth, Nebraska making him 78 years, 1 month and 16 days old. He served his country in the civil war from 1863 to 1865 with Company A, 64th Volunteer Infantry of Illinois. He was married to Lucretia E. Gaylord at Little Rock, Illinois April 26, 1866. He moved to Nebraska in the spring of 1884, coming directly to this vicinity and residing here until his death. To this union were born seven children, three sons and four daughters. His wife and one daughter preceded him to the Great Beyond. His wife Lucretia died November 11, 1892 and daughter Anna departed December 11, 1892. On May 16, 1894, he was married to Martha Elizabeth Davis, and to this union one son was born. He leaves to mourn his death his invalid wife, Martha Elizabeth and ? children: William G. Carpenter of Clay Center; Elvaro Carpenter, of Cambridge; Mrs. Ernest Anderson, of Hildreth; Mrs. Oscar Davis of Wauneta; Mrs. Bert Anderson, of Hildreth. Four step-children also survive him: O. W. Davis of Wauneta; Mrs. Tom Carpenter of Cambridge; Mrs. Frank York and Mrs. Arthur Carpenter of Hildreth; nineteen own grandchildren, eleven step-grandchildren and one great grandson.
Mr. Carpenter joined the M.E. Church, December 1911, of which he was a member at the time of his death.
Short funeral services were held Monday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock at the home because the sorrowing invalid wife was unable to leave the house, after which services were held in the Congregational Church in charge of Rev. M. S. Satchell of Madrid, assisted by Rev. D. A. Savage. The local Masonic Lodge, of which the deceased was a charter member, was in charge and about fifty were present, some coming from Upland, Wilcox, Franklin and other points. The interior of the church building had been decorated with the flag he loved so well and the casket was covered with beautiful floral offerings. The day was cold and disagreeable but the people turned out by hundreds to pay their last tribute of respect, the church being filled to overflowing. Interment was made in the Garden Plains Cemetery northeast of Hildreth beside loved ones who had gone before, the beautiful and impressive burial ceremony of the Masonic order being used at the grave.

Her notes:
Nettie Guiltner is buried in Eldridgeville, she was last of his wives, first one had son (Frederick) who lived in Michigan, second marriage, had my father Ira and Uncle Earl. Carpenter grandparents lived in Nebraska, came back to Illinois in a covered wagon, Grandfather George W. Carpenter died after their return, Nettie climbed on the wagon to get wood, slipped off and was an invalid the rest of her life, but she outlived my father. Uncle Earl used to go twice, once as himself, once as my dad when she was in nursing home each week. Life so different then.
