CIVILIAN ACTIVITIES
Melancthon Riddick was the president of the War Bureau and Oliver Hiscox the vice president. The Liberty loans were strongly supported. The third loan had 190 subscribers who subscribed $49,150, or $27,150 over their quota. The Y. M. C. A. and the Red Cross received generous contributions. War Savings Stamps to the amount of several thousand dollars were purchased. Five hundred were enrolled as members of the Red Cross. More than two thousand garments were made by Red Cross workers; also thousands of surgical dressings and many hundred knitted articles. The Junior Red Cross had a mem- bership of 100 per cent, and more than two thousand articles were made by the members. For the purpose of conserving the supply of wheat, in March, 1918, a corn supper was held and the uses of corn demonstrated. Practically everyone co-operated in the food saving, so necessary during the war. The Woodstock Memorial Boulder was dedicated August 29, 1919.
CHAPTER XXII WORLD WAR STORIES
EXPERIENCES OF A WINDHAM COUNTY BOY IN FRENCH AMBULANCE SERVICE-A WIND- HAM COUNTY GIRL IN THE NEAR EAST
Lester Hart Larrabee is great-grandson of Capt. Adam Larrabee, of honor- able service and sacrifice in the War of 1812; and grand-nephew of the late William Larrabee, governor of Iowa. Interesting facts concerning the Larra- bee family, whose history is closely interwoven with New London and Windham counties, and has also developed honorable records in the Central West, are recounted in the biographical volume of this work.
Lester was born in Willimantic, September 10, 1896, son of Frank and Carrie Smith Larrabee; attended Natchaug grammar school and Windham high (class 1914), next took a year at Phillips Andover (class 1915) ; entered Yale, fall of 1915. After absence on war service in France, he resumed his academic course at Yale, and received his A. B. degree in June, 1920, but is rated as of his original class, Yale, 1919. He is now in the service of the New York Telephone Company in that city.
His experience in France with the "S. S. U." or Sanitary Service Unit of the United States Army Ambulance with the armies of France was of such unusual character and opportunity that he was requested by the editor to write a chapter for this volume. The following pages will be found of remark able interest and value.
Capt. Adam Larrabee, great-grandfather of Lester Hart Larrabee, was born at Allyn's Point, Conn., March 14, 1787.
Adam's father, Frederic Larrabee, of Windham, was in the privateer service during the Revolutionary war. Many ships were fitted out at New London and Norwich for this purpose, and those familiar with the history of the war know how great was the activity of those fearless officers and men on the privateers that harassed the English naval and trading vessels.
The mother of Adam Larrabee, Abigail Allyn, taught school near her home at Allyn's Point and was at the schoolhouse, and greeted by her young brother Ben Adam and cousin Belton Allyn, as they rode by on that fatal 6th of Sep- tember, 1781, when, at the call, the men and boys hurried to the defense of the fort at Groton Heights. Both of these lads were among the slain that night.
At the age of twenty Adam Larrabee lost his father, and when twenty-one he was admitted to the military academy at West Point. He graduated in 1811, second lieutenant of light artillery. He was promoted to be first lieuten- ant and later captain. He participated in the War of 1812 and was seriously wounded at the battle of La Colle Mill in Northern New York. He owed his recovery to the care given him by the family of Chancellor Walworth of New York, who lived miles away from the battlefield. When signs of life were observed in the body of young Larrabee, who had been given up for dead, he
