Solomon Barnes was the son of William Barnes and Elizabeth Brigham, daughter of Winslow and Elizabeth (Harrington) Brigham. Solomon married in 1822 Sarah Howe, and built the following homestead, living here with his eight children, among whom was William Barnes, the veteran soldier, who died in April, 1902. It was only in January before that Postmaster Fay wrote : "Just a word, my dear old comrade, to remind you that I remember this, your birthday." William Barnes was born in the Morgan house on the Hudson road but lived in the house following on Ash street, lately owned by ex-Alderman E. E. Allen, who assisted by his estimable wife as Matron, was for some years Superintendent of Marlborough's City Farm, on the Boston road.
This house, as were a number of other houses in Marlborough, was at one time used to accomodate patients with the small pox; although not designed as were houses in 1721, as special hospitals for persons who desired to be inoculated. It was before the discovery of the present mode

of vaccination, that small pox parties were among the fashionable gather- ings of old Boston, when the guests were inoculated and withdrew for a time from the world. The following invitation of this kind is still pre- served : "Mr. Storer invites Mrs. Martin to take the small pox at his house; if Mrs. Wentworth desires to get rid of her fears in the same way, we will accomodate her in the best way we can. We have several friends invited and none of them will be more welcome than Mrs. W." Marlborough at first joined with her mother town, Sudbury, who voted against admitting the small pox into town by inoculation, and the Select- men were instructed to prosecute those who had been inoculated contrary to law. Great prejudice reigned against the new method, but at length the majority decided to risk having the disease in this way rather than the greater risk of taking it in the ordinary way of contagion
Few in Marlborough's later. days are better and more favorably known than William Barnes, whose first labors were on a farm, after which he worked in a shoe factory owned by John Chipman. For a number of years he kept a hotel in the building on Main street now occu- pied by Dr. C. E. Cutler Jr. At the outbreak of the Rebellion he enlisted in Co. I, Thirteenth Massachusetts Regiment. In fact he was largely instrumental in forming this company in which he was made ser-
308
geant. Co. I was at Hagerstown, Maryland, where C. F. Morse was provost marshal, and later at Harper's Ferry, where the command did guard duty with two other companies detached from the Thirteenth. At the second battle of Bull Run, Mr. Barnes lost a leg and for sixteen weeks was confined to a hospital in Washington, after which he returned home. For fifty-six years he was a member of Lodge of I. O. O. F., affiliated with Post 43, G. A. R., and Sons of American Revolution. Mr. Barnes had married Arathusa Reed Howe, one of twelve children of Josiah and Phebe Howe of Phillipston. In 1861 Mrs. Barnes became heartily interested in all that pertained to the work of the soldiers, especi- ally in caring for the regulars sent north by the regiment to which her husband belonged.
In August 1862, word came that her husband was dangerously wounded. With the devotion of a true wife, she at once laid aside all other duties, and leaving her little ones to the kindly care of others, she hastened South to the Armory Square Hospital in Washington, where her rare skill and fortitude had a wonderful effect on the invalid husband who finally was able to return home with her. While giving her reunited family the constant and tender care of a loving wife and mother, her interest in the cause of freedom and for those who so bravely defended their country in its hour of peril, never waned. In 1870 she originated the Ladies' Relief Society in Marlborough, since which time she had been a constant assistant to Post 43, G. A. R., and to her death in 1900 was a dearly beloved and honored member. Three children survived: Mrs. B. L. Arey of South Boston ; Hattie, wife of Mr. George A. Stacy, our highly esteemed Superintendent of Marlborough Water Department, and our late Alderman Frank O. Barnes who for many years was Superin- tendent of Electric Light Plant ; engineer also in the Clapp & Billings. and Deacon Curtis shoe factories. He died in 1903, mourned as one of the most conscientious of city fathers. He left two children, Ralph and Eleanor.
William Barnes had a fund of stories, among which was : " When Rev. Asa Packard was building his house, the frame fell, giving one of the carpenters quite a fall. 'What were your thoughts, my good man, when you found yourself so near God?' inquired the reverend gentleman, expecting a reply he might perhaps use for a text. 'Why, ' was the quick reply, ' I thought for a minute all the devils above and below had come for me with their pitchforks. '" Mr. Barnes never heard that this reply was accepted by the disappointed reverend gentleman. Speaking with regret in regard to the unmarked tombstone of the first minister,
309
Mr. Brimsmead, he said : " I always had a secret regard and sympathy for all the ministry. They had as a whole a hard and for the most part a narrow road to travel, and before that time when Rev. Asa Smith was shot at as he sat writing his sermon, were more venerated than in the present day. " Mr. Barnes liked to know just what he was about and applied the moral given by Minister Packard in his story about his little spaniel. He had been digging out stones in his pasture where he had a flock of sheep. The dog chased the sheep and in his excitement did not notice one of the pit holes, and tumbled in, turning a complete somer- sault. The dog was as fierce as ever, and climbing out of the hole continued the chase in exactly the opposite direction. The moral was, don't start our chase without always knowing just what we are about.
3II
TIME OF CIVIL WAR.
When the first cry was heard for volunteers to serve our country in her hour of peril, no lack of patriotism was felt in Marlborough, and no other place was more prompt in duty to serve the country she loved so well. Quickly was town meeting called, and on April 29, 1861, action was taken.
" Article 2. To see if the town will respond to the Proclamation of the President of the United States appealing to all loyal citizens to favor, facilitate and aid his effort to maintain the honor and integrity and exist- ence of our National Union, and the perpetuity of popular government, and to redress the wrongs already long enough endured.
" Article 3. To see if the town will raise and appropriate any sum of money to defray the expense of uniforming, equipping and drilling any number of men who may volunteer for the military service of their coun- try agreeably to the Proclamation of the President of the United States, dated April 15, 1861, calling for the militia of the several States to exe- cute the laws of the country and protect the property and peoples thereof, or do or act anything respecting the same.
" Article 4. To see if the town will raise and appropriate any sum of money for the assistance of the families of any persons during their absence, who may have volunteered for service, or do or act anything respecting the same.
Hollis Loring, Esq., offered the following resolutions; which were unanimously adopted :
" Whereas, several states of the Union are confederated in treason and armed rebellion against the Constitutional Government of the United States and the laws thereof, and have seized, stolen and destroyed the common property of the Country purchased with our common blood and common treasure, and have proclaimed through their rebel chief a design to commit piracy on our peaceful and lawful commerce ; and
" Whereas, the President of the United States has called upon the militia of the several states to suppress said rebellion and has appealed to
312
all loyal citizens to aid his effort to maintain the honor and existence of the Government ; therefore
"Resolved, that we, citizens of Marlborough, in legal town meeting assembled, tender our cordial and united support to the Government of the United States and pledge our lives and our fortunes for whatever ser- vice our country may require.
"Voted that a committee of five be appointed by the chair to consider and report forthwith what action it is advisable for the town to take under the third and fourth articles in the warrant. The chair appointed Hollis Loring, L. E. Wakefield, O. W. Albee, Samuel Boyd and Edward Wilkins for said committee, who reported as follows :
" Your committee have endeavored to bring to the subject intrusted to their consideration, a degree of serious deliberation somewhat corres- pondent to the grave and momentous issue now presented to the people of the country. The failure of the people to sustain the Government in the fearful struggle now commenced will entail upon us and our children despotism, if not servitude. But we shall not fail if we are true to our- selves, true to the treasured memories of the past, true to the lessons of our great ancestors. We would hail as a herald of glory the singular coincidence that on the nineteenth day of April, 1775, Massachusetts men fell on Lexington green and on the banks of the Concord River, the first martyrs in the great struggle of American independence ; so on the 19th day of April, 1861, Massachusetts men fell in the streets of Baltimore, the first martyrs in the great struggle for Union with Liberty. Their blood will cry from the reddened pavements of that perjured city until the stars and stripes wave an emblem of freedom over this fair land. But we must remember that under our institutions the Government can do nothing without the aid and support of the people; the people must, therefore, speak and act through their corporate capacity as towns. We trust that we speak the sentiments of every citizen when we say that Marlborough, the mother of towns, will act promptly and patriotically in this hour of our country's need; therefore,
" Resolved, that the sum of ten thousand dollars be, and the same is hereby appropriated and placed at the disposal of a committee of ten hereafter to be appointed by the town, said sum to be used in whole or in part at the discretion of the said committee of ten for the aid and encourage- ment of the individuals or for the support of the families of the individ- uals composing the volunteer militia companies now raised or hereafter to be raised in this town to meet the calls of the Government.
"Resolved, that five citizens, to wit, Mark Fay, William HI. Wood,
313
Stephen Morse, Elbridge Howe and Francis Brigham, be added to the committee of five already appointed by the town, the whole to constitute a committee of ten to carry into effect the foregoing resolve."
June 22, 1861, action was taken :
"Article 2. To see if the town will raise money for military pur- poses or do or act anything respecting the same.
"Article 3. To see if the town will authorize their treasurer to bor- row any amount of money not exceeding ten thousand dollars for the purpose of defraying the expense heretofore incurred for military pur- poses by a vote of said town passed on the twenty-ninth day of last April, or any expense that may hereafter be incurred for military purposes or do or act anything respecting the same."
The treasurer was authorized to borrow not exceeding ten thousand dollars and hold same subject to the order of the committee of ten.
July 13, 1861 :
" Article 2. To see if the town will authorize the Selectmen to aid the families of those enlisted into the service of the United States, belonging to the town, agreeably to an act passed at the last session of the Legislature, or to do or act anything respecting the same."
Voted that the Selectmen be authorized to use their discretion as above in aiding families.
April 7, 1862 :
"To see if the town will raise money for the aid of families of volunteers under Chapter 222 of the act approved the twenty-third day of May, 1861, or do or act anything respecting the same.
" Selectmen authorized to borrow not exceeding ten thousand dol- lars for above purpose."
July 22, 1862, it was :
" Voted to raise $6,500 and appropriate the same to those who shall enlist previous to the second day of August, 1862."
The following resolutions were the resolutions offered and adopted unanimously by the town :
" Whereas, a great rebellion engendered by a wicked desire to per- petuate and extend the institution of chattel slavery and stimulated by an unholy ambition to rule, has set at naught the legally constituted authori- ties of this nation and imperilled constitutional liberty on this continent.
"Therefore, Resolved, that Marlborough is determined to stand by and maintain the great truths of the Declaration of American Indepen- dence and the Republican Government instituted by our revolutionary fathers.
314
" Resolved, that if any Oligarchy or any institution however fortified by power and prejudice, stands in the way of the full realization of our revolutionary fathers' ideal, in regard to the inalienable rights of man, such Oligarchy and such institution must perish, rather than that consti- tutional liberty should fail.
"Resolved, that whilst we honor the patriotism and acknowledge the sacrifices which hundreds of our fellow townsmen have shown by devoting their all to the cause of their country we would not be unmind- ful of the glory our adopted fellow townsmen have won on many a well- fought field.
"Resolved, that the names of Carey and Regan and their fellows who have fallen in this contest for right, have become historic, and Marl- borough will cherish their memories and keep their garlands fresh, that posterity may know their worth and honor them with the incense of grateful hearts.
"Resolved, that to the recent call of the President of the United States for men to fill the thinned ranks of the armies of the Republic, Marlborough expects her sons, both native and adopted, to respond with an alacrity that shall emulate her past fame and be a guaranty for the future, of her unwavering determination to sustain the cause of Liberty, God, and our Country.
"Resolved, that though patriotism can neither be measured nor weighed by money, yet Marlborough is ready, in her corporate capacity, to pledge herself to compensate, in part at least, for pecuniary sacrifices, those brave men who shall generously throw themselves into the breach in this hour of a nation's peril.
"Resolved, that we pay one hundred and twenty-five dollars to each volunteer who shall volunteer under the present call of the President of the United States, not to exceed fifty-two in number."
Expenditures came in the shape of aid to families, and bounties for a few years, and about the time the State took up the matter after the close of the war, it comes as " state aid" and every year up to the present time there is an annual appropriation made for that purpose and probably will so long as live any of the survivors of the Civil War sol- diers from old Marlborough.
