Carpenter, Matthew Hale (born Decatur Merritt Hammond Carpenter) (1824-1881)

US lawyer and senator. A Republican, he was elected to the US Senate for Wisconsin 1869-75, and 1879-81. An abolitionist sympathizer, he supported the Union and emancipation for slaves during the Civil War. He was a highly regarded lawyer.
