Thomas Carpenter’s body washed up on shore on November 21st, 1886 and was presumed

captained. On his deathbed, Francke confessed to the murder. Local fishermen were walking to a
fishing spot at Matinecock on the northern shore of Glen Cove where they came across a body
that had apparently washed ashore. Local police were called to the scene. Upon investigation of
the body it was determined that the body had seven bullet holes and one leg and one arm missing;
presumed eaten away by fish. There was evidence that the body had been anchored down by the
murderer(s). Also there was a one-dollar bill found in his pocket. He was later identified as the
missing schooner Captain, Thomas Carpenter. A private funeral was held and the remains were
interred in the family plot in Sea Cliff, Long Island.

Family: Wife, Jane “Jennie” Ostrom (m. 3/6/1873)
Died: 3/22/1902
Occupation: Manufacturer, Chess player, tour guide
Town Affiliation: Mineola
Notes:
After the war, Jerome returned to Mineola, New York, where he worked in a factory that
manufactured agricultural machinery. He moved to Paxton, Illinois in 1868, where he took up the
position of manager of a hemp and flax company.
On March 6, 1873, Jerome married 21-year old Jane “Jennie” A. Ostrom, of Paxton. Like Jerome,
Jenny had been born in New York. The Jeromes had one child, a boy, born 1874, who
46
apparently died young (or was institutionalized), as he appears in one census at age 6, but not in
future censuses.
In 1899, citing diabetes and heart problems, Jerome applied for a disability pension. By that time
he and Jennie were living in Springfield, Illinois, where he was working as a guide in the state
capital building. Jerome died from the complications of a gastric ulcer March 22, 1902 in
Springfield, Illinois.
Jerome was a renown chess player, and even has a move named after one of his: “The Jerome
Gambit.” It is unclear when he began playing chess, but throughout the 1870’s many of his
matches were reproduced in national chess journals.
