He took a very important part in the preliminary labors to secure the building of the Milford branch of the Boston & Albany Railroad. The building of the railroad was the foundation of the prosperity of the town. The present generation scarcely realizes how much it owes to the foresight and persistence of Mr. Carpenter and those associated with him, the pioneers and builders of the town. Mr. Carpenter was also a prime mover in the planning and construction of Pine Grove cemetery, a well-executed public necessity. In his later years he devoted much time and money to trout culture. His establishment was in the southwestern part of Uxbridge. He owned much of the land on Spring street at one time and sold it off in building lots. He died December 11, 1884.
He married (first), January 25, 1829, Maria Barber, who was born in Milford, July 9, 1806, daughter of James and Nancy (Parks) Barber. She died February 12, 1832 [sic, 1831]. He married (second), August 28, 1831, Diana Barber, sister of his first wife. She was born March 31, 1808. The child of Seth Prime and Maria Carpenter was: Byron, of whom later. Children of Seth Prime and Diana Carpenter were: Reuben Earle, born March 26, 1833, married Eunice Laura Fisher, who was born February 22, 1870 [sic, married then], daughter of Francis W. and Charlotte Fisher; he is a student of astrology; was twelve years in the gold mines of California and west; George Washington, born July 28, 1834, died July 24, 1843; Hannah Maria, born August 16, 1835, died July 21, 1843; Diana, born March 1, 1845; Nancy Marion, born March 19, 1847, married, December 4, 1867, Charles H. Metcalf; Hannah Maria, born June 20, 1850, married, October 22, 1891, Lewis R. Barber.

Seth P. Carpenter came to Milford in early manhood, and for many years was extensively engaged in the boot manufacturing business here. He had wholesale stores in St. Louis and Cincinnati, and, in his trips West to look after his business interests in these places, crossed the Alleghanies fourteen times in stage-coaches. A firm believer in the growth of Milford, he invested largely in its real estate. His largest purchase was what was then an extensive farm, stretching from Main Street eastward to Hoboken. Through this he cut streets, and he gave the land for the Boston & Albany Railroad station and for many of the shops now located in that vicinity. Among the streets he built are Bow, Jefferson, and Spring Streets, which lie in the very centre of the present town. He was a self-reliant and energetic business man, jovial and companionable. In his younger days he was a leader in the social life of Milford. No dramatic entertainment given in the town was considered complete unless he took part in a leading rôle, or managed the affair, or both. Perhaps his fondness for the drama was one of the reasons that led to his building the Lyceum Block, in which is Lyceum Hall, for many years the only public hall in Milford, and considered at the time it was built as the best equipped theatre outside of Boston.
Mr. Carpenter served in various town offices. For twenty-one years he was a Justice of the Peace. In his later life he devoted considerable time, money, and ingenuity to fish culture, especially to the rearing of trout, for which he had hatching trays in the southwestern part of Uxbridge. The Rev. Adin Ballou, in his history of the town, says: "It should be emphatically added to the credit of Mr. Carpenter that, in connection with the late David Stearnes Godfrey and a few other devoted citizens, he took a very important part in the preliminary labors indispensable to procuring the Milford & Framingham Branch Railroad. These labors were manifold, arduous, and persistent. The present generation of our inhabitants can have but a faint conception and appreciation of what they owe to those hard-working pioneers in the obtainment of that road. Without their self-sacrificing exertion, its great facilities would probably have been long postponed." Mr. Carpenter was also one of the prime movers in the enterprise that gave to Milford the beautiful Pine Grove Cemetery, where his remains were interred after his long and busy life.
Mr. Carpenter's first wife was Maria, daughter of James and Nancy (Parks) Barber. Of this union was one son, Byron, born September 14, 1829, who died on March 15, 1872. After Mrs. Maria Carpenter died in February, 1831, Mr. Carpenter married her sister, Diana Barber. The surviving children of this marriage are: Reuben Earl, Nancy Marion, and Hannah Maria. The others were: George W., Hannah Maria (first), and Diana.
The family resided for several years on Main Street. Here his wife, with three little daughters to care for, found the ceaseless travel up and down stairs wearisome. Thereupon Mr. Carpenter decided that he didn't like stairs anyway, and said to his wife, "I'll build you a house without stairs." He actually kept his word, and the result is the odd-looking house at the corner of Bow and Spring Streets, where his daughter, Mrs. Barber, now lives. This is a one-story building with a flat roof, and with not a stair in it, yet as roomy as an ordinary two-story house and a marvel of comfort and convenience. It forms a unique monument to the tender and considerate love of a whole-souled, large-hearted, and devoted husband.
