 | | Pingree was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor on August 17, 1891, for his gallantry at the action at Lees Mills, Virginia, on April 16, 1862. |
 | | In the fall election of 1882 Colonel Pingree was chosen Lieutenant-Governor of the state by the Republicans, his popularity being indicated by the fact that his vote was the largest of any cast for the state officials and two years later his merit was still farther recognized by his election to the office of Governor. |
 | | Pingree was married Sept. 15, 1869, to Lydia M., daughter of Sanford and Mary (Hinman) Steele, of Stanstead, P. He is buried at Hartford Cemetery, White River Junction. |
