Berkshire, Vermont Franklin County
Vol.2 pg. 117
Capt. Heath died when little turned of 50. A daughter of his married a son
of Mr. Jonathan Carpenter already mentioned; and from that union a somewhat
numerous and very respectable race has sprung. ' One of the sons, Orson
Carpenter, Esq.; though beginning life as a boot and shoemaker, attracted
such notice for his business capacity that he was soon taken into the
executive department of the county, in which he held for several years the
office of deputy sheriff, and many or more, that of high sheriff of Franklin
County; discharging all his duties with ability, fidelity, and to public
satisfaction. Within the last few years he died at East Berkshire, leaving a
worthy and interesting family of daughters.
Another son of Mr. Carpenter, and the oldest son of Capt. Heath, passed
their lives from early manhood in Richford, And their memories deserve
honorable notice in the history of that town.
