Appendix. 163
In November of 1909 Mr. Frederick Ferdinand Street of Hartford, a brother of the late and greatly lamented William Reynolds Street, came and under his own supervision planted on the Green two great-grand- daughters of the celebrated "Charter Oak" of Hart- ford. In early life Mr. Street spent some time in East Haven, and has always retained a pleasant recollection and interest in the place and people, for which they return sincere thanks, as also for this beautiful memo- rial to his name.
In the spring of 1910, the grandsons of the late Leveret S. Bagley came from Hartford with a gar- dener and planted hardy flowering shrubs to beautify the mound on the Green, in memory of their grand- father.
TREE PLANTING, 1910.
The same interest and enthusiasm were shown this spring as in former years, when a Japanese maple tree ' was planted on the Green, donated by the world-known sculptor Paul W. Bartlett. Although he was not born in East Haven, he lived there for the first few years of his life.
The ceremony of planting was made interesting by a telegram of greeting from Mr. Bartlett.
A son of Mr. Bartlett's playmate (Mr. Samuel A. Smith) recited, and a song composed by Mrs. Florence R. Andrews was sung by school children and friends, making this year's tree planting memorable.
May it be added to the credit of East Haven people, that the first Arbor Day observed in Connecticut was splendidly recognized by many of the citizens planting trees, thus showing approval and endorsement of the day appointed by the State of Connecticut.

Appendix.
ADDENDA.
During the war of the Rebellion there were several East Haven born men who faithfully served and were honorably discharged from service that were credited to other towns than their own. Probably the mistake was made at the time of enlistment; owing to the great state of excitement then existing, the recorders might not have been over careful. Since the History of East Haven was published in 1908 the attention of the compiler has been called to the omission of the names and services of these veterans.
As there was no record of the soldiers to be found except- ing the U. S. Adjutant General's report as contained in the book "Connecticut Men in the Rebellion," that was used, supposing it was correct. Most of these men have lived in the town since the war, and six out of the nine are resting in the Old Cemetery, East Haven, which conclusively proves that the town should have the honor of their loyal services.
Abraham B. Chidsey (New Haven) enlisted Aug. 6, 1862, Fifteenth Regiment, Company B, mustered out June 27, 1865.
Sidney B. Thompson (New Haven) should have been East Haven, enlisted Sept. 23, 1862, Tenth Regiment, Company K, discharged June 15, 1865. Was only nineteen years old when discharged.

Wounded April 2, 1865, at Fort Gregg, Peters- burg, Va., very seriously; discharged from Knight Hospital, New Haven, Conn., Aug. 30, 1865, receiving a pension from day of discharge for wounds received in action.
Henry C. Smith (Branford) should have been East Haven, enlisted Sept. 18, 1861, Tenth Regiment, Company A, mustered Private, reentered "Veteran Volunteer," Jan. 1, 1864. Pro- moted Nov. 19, 1864. Wounded April 2, 1865, Fort Gregg, Petersburg, Va. Lost a leg. Discharged Aug. 31, 1865.
