by H. L. Robinson, published 1893


CHARLES E. DENNETT
was born in Pittsfield, September 10, 1847. He is a son of Jeremiah W.
Dennett. He attended school in town, and worked for various parties until he
enlisted. He received the name of "Commodore," from the fact that he was the
only man to enter the navy from this town. He entered in the service as a
marine, June 16, 1864, and served on board the Sabine, first at Portland,
later on the Potomac and James rivers. He discharged his duties as " Captain
of the Head," with credit to himself and to the satisfaction of his superior
officers. He is now an inmate of the Soldiers' Home at Tilton.
