WATERBURY, CONN .: PRESS OF COOKE, MATTOON & ROBBINS. 1871.
NOTE.
THIS third series of the "Historical Sketch of, and Record of Mortality in Watertown," was arranged for publication by the late FREDERICK DAYTON, as a continuation of the two previous series-the first, issued in 1845, by the Rev. N. S. Richardson, D. D., and the second by himself, in 1858. The development and rapid progress of that wasting dis- ease-consumption-checked the plans of life, and "sud- denly terminated his earthly labors, leaving this work unfin- ished. The hand of affection completes it, as a loving tribute to a brother's memory, placing it before the public with the hope that it may be acceptable to all, but especially to those who will find recorded herein the names of their own loved departed ones, who, with him, are sleeping
"That quiet sleep,
Which all earth's weary ones will find at last."

HISTORICAL SKETCH.
As the first and second series of this work contain a full account of the settlement of Watertown, with other inter- esting statistical and miscellaneous information, to the year 1858, its republication in the present series is thought unnecessary. A complete record of the deaths and burials in the town since that year, is made, together with the names of those persons who were born there-but have died else- where-and therefore do not appear on the burial list. This addition in the second series was so generally approved that great pains have been taken to make that of this issue more complete, and it was the hope of the compiler that no name would be left out which should be added.
The great civil struggle through which our country has passed since 1858, when her sons were called to the defense of her national flag and national honor, was not unheeded by the citizens of Watertown. Patriotism and loyalty re- sponded, and many offered themselves volunteers in the great cause. By others, bounties were paid or substitues procured, until the various State regiments contained the familiar names of numbers who were willing to do their duty on the field of battle. It was thought by the author of this work, that a summary of what was done by the town in furnishing its quota of men, would form a valuable appendix to it, and the extracts from the Town Records are inserted as he arranged them, as is also his list of deceased soldiers. In a retrospective view, this will doubtless be as interesting a historical reference as any that could be made.

HISTORICAL SKETCH.
In the ordinary course of events, many of the citizens of Watertown have removed their residence to other places, but they carry with them pleasant and fragrant memories of past days, and take a just pride in the growth and ad- vancement of their native place. To come back and re- visit their old homes-to greet the friends and companions of youthful and maturer years, is an ever fertile source of pleasure. To speak of changes that have come to each during days of separation, fills the mind with sadness. The ceme- teries show where to find those who are missed among the living, and their ever open and increasing volumes give a faithful record of familiar names. As a beautiful rural place for the repose of the dead, Evergreen Cemetery is sel- dom surpassed. The Old Cemetery affords a cherished rest- ing-place for those who desire to be laid beside kindred and friends, whose graves were made long ago.
As an agricultural town, Watertown stands first in Litch- field County. Its farmers are widely known for their thrift and enterprise, and the products of their farms are not often excelled. The Agricultural Association of the town, formed in 1867, is flourishing and increasing in interest, and offers at its annual autumnal fair, as great attractions as those which have had a longer existence.
As a healthy and attractive summer resort, also, Water town has a just repute. Its fine and well kept residences, churches and other buildings, form a prominent part in the landscape. The Warren House, which affords accommoda- tions for a large number of guests, is an elegant structure, with fine grounds handsomely laid out.
Railroad communication with seaboard and adjacent places, which has been long desired, is now afforded. A branch road, connecting with the Naugatuck Railroad at Waterbury, was opened for travel in September last, on the first day of the autumnal fair in Watertown. The prolonged drought of the past season has been severely felt here as elsewhere, and wells and springs which have been heretofore unfailing, are now entirely dry. For many seasons such a a scarcity of water has not been known.

age of eighty-four years, and is the oldest presbyter of the Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Connecticut. He was ordained deacon in New Haven, Connecticut, June 23. 1811, by the Rt. Rev. Abraham Jarvis, D.D. second Bishop of Connecticut, and priest by the same, December 20, 1812. In 1868 he lost by death his only grandchild, Frederick Holcomb Starr, and a few months since, his son-in-law, Mr. O. S. Starr. He has been called to officiate at the burial of many of his former parishioners, to whom he was warmly attached. Beloved and respected by all his townsmen, he stands among them as' a connecting link between the present and the past, awakening memories both pleasant and sad.
Recent repairs upon the Episcopal church have made it more durable and attractive. Few country churches are more pleasing than this, in its proportions and style of architecture.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
OF THE LATE
DOCTOR SAMUEL ELTON.
DR. SAMUEL ELTON, only son of Doctor John and Lucy Elton, was born in Watertown, Conn., September 6, 1780, died in that place December 8, 1858, and was buried there, in Evergreen Cemetery, on Sunday, December 12, 1858, in the seventy-ninth year of his age. The name of Elton, in connection with the practice of medicine, in what is now the town of Watertown, has been known for a period of about ninety years. Three individuals of that name, nearly connected, have filled that important and highly responsible station for these several consecutive periods, viz : Doctor James Elton, seven years ; Doctor John Elton, twenty-four years ; and Doctor Samuel Elton, fifty-eight years. The name of the latter has been so long a household word in the families of this community that it will live long in endear- ing association. Although he had outlived most of his early companions, and multitudes of the young. he had not so far outlived himself, but that he was in a degree, active and useful in his profession to the last. It was but a few mo- ments after his return from visiting a patient, that he was attacked by his last distressing illness. He was, no doubt, one of the oldest practitioners in the State, and numbers of his brethren of the medical faculty were present at his funeral, to pay the last tribute of respect to his memory. He has descended to the grave, as full of professional honors and esteem as of years .*

SUMMARY.
THE 19th Regiment, Connecticut Volunteers, was formed in pursuance of a call from President Lincoln for three hun- dred thousand men, immediately after the disastrous close of McClellan's Peninsular campaign in 1862. On the 3d of July, 1862, Gov. Buckingham issued a proclamation urging the people of Connecticut to raise several new regiments to aid in the completion of this number. At a county con- vention held in Litchfield, July 22d, resolutions were unani- mously passed, declaring that an entire regiment should be raised within the county. A bounty of one hundred dollars was offered by most if not all of the towns, and the offer of a commission to any who should enlist forty men, proved a great incentive to effort. William H. Lewis, Jr. at once en- gaged with great earnestness in this work, as recruiting offi- cer, and many of our townsmen enlisted under him. When the companies of the regiment were filled, he was made First Lieutenant of Company D, and afterwards Captain of Company B. Space will not allow an extended record here of the honored and worthy place which the 19th Regiment holds among those who fought our country's battles. Its full history has been compiled by Lieutenant Theodore Vail, and offers a most interesting volume of reading matter. Most of the above is an extract therefrom. Of the eight hun- dred and fifty who left Camp Dutton, September 15, 1862. only one hundred and eighty-three remained. Among the "dead of the regiment " are found the names of several of our own recruits. In the 20th Regiment we find the names of other of our townsmen, who fought and suffered in our civil struggle. Lieut. Nathan B. Abbott, of Company H, which suffered great loss at the battle of Chancellorville, came out unharmed. In the thick fight at Gettysburg, he was slightly wounded in the finger, and his musket struck by a rebel bullet. Being transfered to Sherman's army, he was in various battles and skirmishes in Tennessee and Georgia,
16
SUMMARY.
and in the "great march to the sea." He was also in the severe battle at Bentonville. Being wonderfully preserved from wounds, sickness and capture, he returned in safety to his home and friends.
With the record of companies A. and H, 23d Regiment, Connecticut Volunteers, most of the citizens of Watertown are familiar. Lieut. J. A. Woodward has kindly furnished the following interesting outline of events, which are thank- fully recorded. He, with all the recruits from Watertown, and the others of his company, A, were captured on the morn- ing of the 24th of July, 1863, by the forces of Gens. Taylor, Moulton and Green, about fifteen thousand strong. Being reduced to two hundred and fifty men and officers, resistance on their part was very feeble, although some well-directed artillery shots gave the enemy a warm reception. A surren- der was inevitable, and greeted with such howlings and yells as the rough Texan soldiers only could give, but with a promise to respect their private property, (knapsacks and canteens), all were started on a march to Fort Buchanan at Brashier City, La., where the rank and file were paroled, but the commissioned officers were started on a march for the interior of Texas. The incidents on the way were many- languishing under a burning July and August sun, walking from ten to twenty miles a day, and suffering intensely from hunger. Arriving at the prison, their rations were corn meal wet with cold water, and baked on the coals. Lieutenant Woodward was the only one from Watertown sent to the prison, and by various contrivances managed to get along well. Having lost his boots one day while asleep, he was six months without shoes or stockings, afterward obtain- ing a pair of the former by whittling out a fancy pipe and trading the same with a woman, for a pair of shoes made of untanned leather. Experiencing great inhumanity in com- mon with the five thousand who were his comrades, he re- ceived no intelligence from his home and friends, for more than thirteen months. After an imprisonment of over a year he was released, and reached his home and friends with great joy.
