CARPENTER, George N.
Men of Vermont: Illustrated Biographical History of Vermonters & Sons of
Vermont. Ullery. Brattleboro: Transcript Publishing Company, 1894, part III,
page 5 of 20 unpaginated leaves
George N. CARPENTER, of Brookline [Norfolk County], Massachusetts, was born
26 November 1840 in Northfield [Washington County, Vermont], his father being
Judge CARPENTER, one of the prominent men of Washington County in his time
and for several years judge of probate. Col. CARPENTER was educated at the
Northfield and Phillips Andover Academies and at the University of Vermont,
from which he graduated in 1861. At college he was class president in his
senior year, secretary and vice president of the Phi Sigma Nu society and a
member of the Delta Psi fraternity. At the breaking out of the war he
enlisted in the Eighth Vermont Regiment, rising to the rank of captain,
receiving later a commission as captain of U. S. Volunteers from President
Lincoln. His title of colonel came through the appointment of aid-de-camp on
the staff of Governor DILLLINGHAM of Vermont.
In 1866 Col. CARPENTER left Vermont and became a resident of Milwaukee
[Milwaukee County, Wisconsin], where for a year he filled an editorial
position on the "Daily Wisconsin," at the same time serving the "New York
Tribune" as its Western correspondent. Giving up journalism in 1867, he
entered the insurance business, remaining in the West until 1874, when he
returned East, locating in New York. Three years later he went to Boston
[Suffolk County] and has since been conspicuously identified with the
insurance interests of Boston and Massachusetts. He is widely known as the
manager of the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company and also as an
entertaining and thoroughly posted speaker on insurance topics. He has held
many positions of honor and trust; has been, in turn, secretary, vice
president and president of the Boston Life Underwriters' Association; first
president of the National Association of Life Underwriters (was one of the
founders and now a life member of the executive committee); was interested in
the formation of the Vermont Association of Boston (was a member of the
Executive committee and its treasurer for six years); has been vice president
and president of the Vermont Veteran Association of Boston; and is a member
of the military order of the Loyal Legion and Grand Army of the Republic.
On 27 April 1866 at Amherst [Hampshire County], Massachusetts, Col. [George
N.] CARPENTER was married to [Miss?] Agnes WILLIAMS, and three children are
the result of the union: Edward H., a graduate of Harvard in 1893; and two
daughters. Col. CARPENTER is a Republican; has been chairman, Brookline
Republican town committee and president, Republican club of Brookline; now a
member of the election committee of the Republican Club of Massachusetts;
has been a member of the Republican state committee (treasurer of the
committee in 1893 and 1894); represented Brooline in the Massachusetts
Legislature 1887-1891; was on committees on insurance (chairman) and federal
relations; is president of Brookline Civil Service Association; for many years
was a trustee of Norwich University, Northfield; now a member of the school
committee of Brookline.

BIRTH: He was born and baptised "Merritt Hammond" but he didn't like the name
so he changed it.
BOOK:- GENEALOGY: Carpenter and Allied Families by Miss Annie L. Carpenter,
The American Historical Society, Inc., NY, published in 1936. Page 31
He was a U.S. Senator.
SEE: Dictionary of American Biography, Vol. 2, page 512, by Allen Johnson.
He is listed as a lawyer, and senator (Rep.). Much detailed information
there.
Newspaper: "The Evening News." Dated Detroit, Saturday, August 23, 1873.
It states:
"The New York Tribune, in response to the Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin, on the
Senator Carpenter scandal, says that the Tribune makes no charges that can
not be substantiated, and hopes that if Mr. Carpenter has been aggrieved by
anything that has appeared in its columns he will resort to his remedy at
law; and the Tribune being a journal of ample pecuniary responsibility,
whatever damage a jury of his countrymen shall say he has sustained will be
promptly paid. More than that, the Tribune will gladly pay any sum that may
be so assessed in damages to be convinced that the life and conduct of Mr.
Matt Carpenter are such as may be held up for an example, instead of a
warning to the young men of the country. For proof of that the Tribune is
willing to pay liberally."
In another location of the same paper:
Under "POLITICAL NOTES":
"A serious attempt is being made to kill off President Grant. The Rutland
Globe alludes to the failing health of Vice President Wilson, and his
possible death, and expresses it's horror at seeing Matt. Carpenter, as
President of the Senate, so near to the White House. The New York Tribune
has also been studying the law of decent in the case, and shows that in the
event of Grant, Wilson and Carpenter all dying the country would have to get
along without a chief magistrate till Congress meets in December. Now this
speculating on the effect of men's deaths is just the way to kill them. the
human mind is eculiar, and if the very knowledge that their decease is a
matter of discussion on every street corner is not in itself sufficient to
worry out the vital spark, there are plenty of insane Ravalliacs and Booths
in the country who would jump at the chance to gain themselves "a mission",
which the mere suggestion afforded. Three Presidents have died in office
within a quarter of a century. If we were Grant we should increase our life
insurance forthwith. By the way, Grant still lacks a week of completing the
first six months of his second term, yet the subject of his successor in 1877
is already discussed by the topic-starved public press. etc.etc.etc...

His real name was Decatur Merritt Hammond Carpenter and although he was educated in Vermont, he established his public career in Wisconsin.
In 1861 Carpenter served as judge advocate general. He participated in the U.S. Senate, serving as senator from Wisconsin during the years 1869 to 1875 and 1879 to 1881.
His legal skills were displayed in his representation of Secretary of War William W. Belknap at the latter's impeachment trial. In 1877 Carpenter acted as legal counsel to Democratic presidential candidate Samuel Tilden during an inquiry held by the electoral commission concerning the contested election results. Tilden lost to Rutherford B. Hayes by one electoral vote.

Carpenter, Matthew Hale [B. "Carpenter","Decatur Merritt","Hammond"] 1824 - 1881
Definition: lawyer, Senator, b. Moretown, Vt. He attended the U.S. Military Academy at West Point (1843-1845), studied law under Paul Dillingham and Rufus Choate, and was admitted to the bar in 1847. In 1848 he moved to Wisconsin, settling in Beloit, where he practiced law and served several years as district attorney of Rock County. In the 1850's he changed his name to Matthew Hale Carpenter. Rising rapidly in legal and political circles, in 1856 he was one of the attorneys for William A. Barstow (q.v.) in the disputed gubernatorial election of 1855. In 1858 he moved to Milwaukee, where he conducted a brief law partnership (1858-1859) with Edward G. Ryan (q.v.). An avid Democrat, in his early career he supported Stephen A. Douglas in the election of 1860. With the outbreak of the Civil War, he became a "war Democrat" and soon joined the ranks of the Republican party. In 1869 he was selected by the Republican state legislature to succeed James R. Doolittle (q.v.) as U.S. Senator. In the Senate, Carpenter identified himself with the radical supporters of President Grant, and vigorously defended him against the criticism of Senator Charles Sumner. One of the leading figures in the Senate, Carpenter was a brilliant orator and logician, but his insistance on legalism and seeming lack of deep-rooted loyalties gave political ammunition to his enemies, who attempted to make him the symbol of reconstruction corruption. In 1874 and 1875 a large portion of the press of both parties attacked Carpenter on both political and personal grounds. At home his defense of the Credit Mobilier and the "salary grab" act, his opinion that the state Potter law was constitutional, and his support of federal regulation of railroads led to his defeat. In the legislature of 1875 a group of Republicans promoted by C. C. Washburn (q.v.), A. M. Thomson (q.v.), and J. R. Doolittle defied the dictates of the party machine and united with the Democrats to secure the election of Republican dark-horse Angus Cameron (q.v.). In 1879 Carpenter was again elected to the Senate, succeeding Timothy O. Howe (q.v.), and held this office until his death. As a lawyer, Carpenter was recognized as one of the leading constitutionalists in the nation. He argued his first case before the U.S. Supreme Court in 1862, acquired nationwide recognition in the McCardle case (1869), and was acknowledged to be the legal advocate for reconstruction policies. His other well-known cases included the famous Slaughterhouse cases (1873), the defense of Secretary of War William W. Belknap in the impeachment proceedings of 1876, and his retention by the Democrats (1877) to present the case of presidential candidate Samuel J. Tilden to the electoral commission investigating the disputed election of 1876. Dict. Amer. Biog.;..F. A. Flower, Life of M. H. Carpenter (Madison, 1883); J. R. Berryman, ed., Bench and Bar of Wis.

He was a pioneer in the Northwest, coming to St. Paul in 1855, as a bookkeeper
for the J.C. Burbank Company. He operated stages between St. Paul and La
Crosse, which were afterwards taken over by Blakely and Carpenter, in different
parts of Minnesota.
He was also interested in the stage coach from Bismark to Deadwood, South
Dakota, and this line was later organized in 1877 as the Northwestern Stage and
Transportation company.
During the Rebellion (Civil War) he was commisioned by President Lincoln
as a colonel of the Guards.
In the early days Col. Carpenter had much to do with the affairs at Deadwood,
and at the time of his death left huge holdings in ranch and mining properties
there to his son, Matthew Blanchard Carpenter.
He did a great deal in the advancement of mining intersts in the Black Hills of
SD.
Outside of his many interests in the field of business he was able to divert
himself widely. He was a Mason, and a Knight Templar, and was a charter member
of the Minnesota Club. He was very fond of hunting, fishing, riding and
driving. He was a gentleman of the old school, very hospitable and having a
keen sence of wit and humor, all serving to make a well rounded life.
His memory will endure as belonging to the Northwest's lists of honored
pioneers.

After receiving a sound academic education in the schools of St. Paul, he went
at once into business activity, and devoted his intire time to independent
operations. For several years he engaged as a rancher, then as a mine operator
in SD, extending the properties left him by his father, until they
were very large.
In 1914 he retired, but did not cease to keep in the works of citizenship for
which he had been everywhere well known, in centers which he touched. It is
said that the Carpenter family accounted for as much, if not for the most, of
the Black Hills mining developemnt in the early days, as was accomplished
throughout the turn of the century.
He carried on the good name of his father, and in all ways followed in his
steps. He belonged to the same fraternal organizations (a Mason of Knight
Templar degree), loved the same sports, and worked hard on the same enterprises
that his father had begun before him. Both he and his father will be
remembered for their pioneer work.
