++++++++++++The following excerpts taken from Ashley's mother, Sarah Warren Carpenter's notes written in 1895 will fill in the gap between his last entry and his death on November 30, 1862, in Scottsville, Kentucky.
"In '62 our oldest son Ashley and a boy that had lived in our family 12 years, Robert Corlet, 4 years older than our son, enlisted. We hoped then the war would soon be over –the regiment was first in Chicago, then at Dixon and then back to Chicago –before leaving Dixon our son was sick so he obtained a furlough and came home for a few days, then they were sent to Kentucky –he had only been from home 2 months –when Ashley was taken sick from hard marching and exposure. We received a letter from the physician and surgeon of the 105th, Dr. Potter with whom we were well acquainted, saying Ashley is sick –we obliged to push on south, I leave him in the hands of a good physician –and whatever the result, Ashley is all right –he has the confidence and respect of the whole regiment, and is every inch a hero –We soon received a dispatch sent to his brother Philo Carpenter –whose son brought it to us at 11 o'clock at night –and at 2 o'clock that morning he was on his way to Chicago hoping to take the morning train south –but could not get his passes and his money changed in time, so had to wait till the evening train –when he arrived at Bowling Green he hurried on to Scottsville as fast as possible, he found Ashley just alive, but past speaking –though they thought he knew he had come had been looking very anxiously for him. They started as quickly as possible expecting to travel all night, hoping to meet the morning train at Bowling Green but there was a severe thunder storm in the night and they had to stop at the house of a rebel –they arrived in time but it was because the train was delayed 2 hours–the young friend that took care of Ashley was left at Bowling Green sick he only lived 2 weeks–On arriving at Chicago was met by friends, took him to the undertakers and the next forenoon about 40 of our relatives went to see the remains–my husband had three sisters and a brother and I had three sisters living there at that time. (my husband came home that night and the next afternoon two of my sisters came out with the remains, funeral Friday. Ashley was the first one of our regiment to be brought home and in a very short time 14 soldiers were laid in our little cemetery at Warrenville. There was a great many palliating circumstances connected with our son's sickness and death. Two of the Captains took great pains to find him a nice place; they got him in to a good union family, merchant in the place, members of the Baptist Church, and their names were Carpenter. They had 5 sick soldiers at the time they gave him the parlor and took excellent care of him–my husband became very much attached to them–and before the war closed they came up and made us a visit, and we visited them–we corresponded with them as long as they lived, and do yet with the family. Robert went all through the war and came to us with consumption, lived 5 months."

David Carpenter
Birth: 9 May 1807 Adams, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, USA
Death: 5 Mar 1897 (aged 89) Rockton, Winnebago County, Illinois, USA
Burial: Rockton Township Cemetery, Rockton, Winnebago County, Illinois, USA
Memorial #: 27571359
Bio:
He was the ninth of eleven children born to Nathaniel and Philura (Holcomb) Carpenter. He married at Saratoga County, New York 7 March 1836 to Julia M. Pettibone, and they were the parents of two sons.
Immediately after their marriage they came to Rockton, arriving on July 15th, accompanied by his father and some of his siblings.
On 20 April 1837, he was one of the first jurors selected for Winnebago County commissioner's court, and received 75 cents a day for his services. He served as township supervisor 1867-70 and 1873-75. He was President of the Board of Village Trustees from 1873. He served several times as trustee for the Congregational church, was a deacon for many years, and was superintendent of the Sunday school.
He lived on a farm west of the river from 1836 to 1865. When his son Luman Carpenter returned from the war, he bought a home for him in the village where he resided the remainder of his life.
He, however, continued to retain a 160-acre farm. He and his wife spent the winter of 1887-88 in California. During the last years of his life, Mr. and Mrs. H. Knutson resided with him and his wife to see that they were properly cared for.

Bio:
Rockton Herald, Thursday 31 January 1901
Last Sunday morning the news was passed from mouth to mouth that Dr. Waite and Mrs. Carpenter had breathed their last the evening before, the former at 8:30 and the latter at 8:20. although the passing of both had not been unexpected it cast a gloom over the entire community, for the early settlers are so rapidly passing away that soon "the place that knows them shall know them no more," and the men and women who endured the hardships incident to making this "wilderness blossom like the rose" will be only a memory to those who are now enjoying the fruit of their labors.
Julia Pettibone was born in St. Lawrence Co., N.Y., July 15, 1814, and was married to David Carpenter Mar. 7, 1836. Starting west the same year they arrived here July 15; thus she was the first white woman to enter the new settlement that is now the town of Rockton.
For three months she stood the loneliness and fear of Indians, and thought she could not endure it any longer, when they were joined by her father, Dea. Luman Pettibone, and his family.
For 29 years Mr. and Mrs. Carpenter lived on the farm, west of the river which he secured of the government, at which time they moved into the house in the village in which they spent the remainder of their days.
Mrs. Carpenter was a charter member of the Congregational church and always active in all church work until age and failing health kept her at home.
For a number of years Mr. and Mrs. H. Knutson have taken care of the aged couple so that they did not lack for kind attention during the last years of their life.
The funeral was held as her late home last Monday afternoon, the service being conducted by Rev. T.B. Thompson ex-pastor of the Cong'l church and all that was moral was laid to rest by the side of her husband who had preceded her to the heavenly home about four years ago.
Among the floral tributes to Mrs. Carpenter's memory was a design in carnations from the ladies of the Working Band of which she was a charter member.
