was finished in the autumn of 1902. The first service was held in January following under the auspices of Post 37, G. A. R., and over the body of William A. Sloane, a former resident, but later of New Hampshire, which was brought here for interment.
The following appreciative letter from the pen of Rev. Mr. Masseck well illustrates the value of the chapel.
Spencer, Mass., January 10, 1903
To the Editor of the Leader :
Having just returned from the Pine Grove Cemetery, where for the first time I was called to use the new Chapel, I wish to express
233
PINE GROVE CEMETERY
my gratification that we have such a great convenience provided for the public. It has been a bitter cold morning. To have conducted such a service as that of the G A. R at the grave would have been to expose a large number of veterans to just the conditions that might have injuriously affected their health. But the new chapel made it possible to conduct all the exercises in perfect confort and without any risk. I want to express my appreciation also of the excellent taste shown by the building committee in the erection of this building. Its exterior appearance is very fitting for the place and purpose. It is neat, simple, beautiful. The crosses that sur- mount it symbolize the Christian faith in an immortal life and are most appropriate. The interior is also beautiful in its simplicity. There is now an opportunity for the furnishing of the room in perfect ecclesiastical character and it would seem to me that here many friends could place memorials for the dead. The possibilities are readily perceptible to one who has seen such buildings in other places.
Sincerely yours, FRANK L. MASSECK, Pastor Universalist Church.
A little later Mr. Isaac L. Prouty voluntarily contributed money to pay for furnishing the Chapel, thus completing the good work inaugurated by Mrs. Keith.

THE WORTHINGTON GOLDEN WEDDING
The Worthington family, so intimately connected with Spencer, was distinguished during the Civil war for sending ten men into the service. Everyone of them went who could and the story was well told at the golden wedding of the founders of the family, Mr. and Mrs. Orin S. Worthington, held at Town Hall on the evening of Oct. 29, 1866.
This wedding appears to have been the most noted and largely attended of any in Spencer history. The leading citizens and influential families were well represented, in fact the hall was packed to its utmost capacity, eloquently testifying to the es- teem in which the aged couple were held. The Spencer Brass band and Spencer Glee Club discoursed appropriate music. Hon. James Draper, the oldest and most distinguished citizen of the town, presided.
At 6:30 the meeting was called to order. Rev. James Cruickshanks, the leading clergyman in town, offered prayer.
Capt. Jeremiah Grout then gave a brief history of the family as follows :
HISTORICAL . ADDRESS
"Ladies and Gentlemen :
Allow me to relate a very brief history of this aged couple, who have come up here to- night, with seven of their eight children surviving and with quite a number of grandchildren, surrounded by a host of friends and invited guests, to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of their wedded life, and to renew their promises pledged to each other in their early days. This I do for the information of those who are expected to speak on this occasion, they not having an inti- mate acquaintance with the family.
"Mr. Orin S. Worthington and Miss Suanna Whittemore were married at Mansfield, Connecticut, October 28th, 1816- fifty years ago yesterday. Five years subsequent to their mar- riage they moved to this town, where they have now resided
235
THE WORTHINGTON GOLDEN WEDDING
forty-five years, and where they have lived a peaceful and indus- trious life-not only in their family circle, but with their neigh- bors and townsmen generally.
"They have had a family of twelve children, ten sons and two daughters. Four of that number are not living -three sons and one daughter. Three of the four died young, at the respect- ive ages of one and one-half, twelve and nineteen years. The

other, the lamented John M., was instantly killed by a bullet from a rebel gun in the battle of Winchester, Va., September 19th, 1864, aged twenty-eight years, where his remains now repose.
"Our aged and respected friend, Mr. Worthington, has ex- perienced rather an eventful life. Being a carpenter by trade he has frequently been called upon by his townsmen to perform and execute certain jobs of work that other carpenters would reject, such

as taking down old buildings and rebuilding the same-often- times very hazardous, and at times has escaped instant death most miraculously. At the raising of buildings, where he was almost always present, you would find him in the most hazardous position upon the frame-walking as deliberately upon the high- est pinnacles as upon the highway. And again, he was the only carpenter to be found who dared venture to make repairs upon powder mills, which were frequently necessary. But being pos-

sessed of an accommodating and adventurous disposition, he sel- dom, if ever, refused to do any such job he was called upon to do, however dangerous, or disagreeable. And here I will relate his escape from instant death, which would appear to be truly a providential escape. Some twenty-five years ago, with three other men, he was engaged in making repairs upon one of these mills. He stepped out of the door of the mill to go to a shop near by,
237
THE WORTHINGTON GOLDEN WEDDING
and when a few paces from the mill the powder ignited from an unknown cause, blowing the mill to atoms from its foundation, the timbers falling around him on every side. If he had been upon any other spot for rods around he must have been killed by the falling timbers. The three men whom he left in the mill were blown several rods away, and instantly killed. Thus we may conclude that he was not to be killed by a casualty, as the Indian said of General Washington, "He was not to be killed by a musket ball."
SUANNA WORTHINGTON. Died Nov. 26, 1877, aged 79 years, 3 months, 20 days.
"This family has been particularly noted for its patriot- ism during the late war. The father, sons and grandsons, all alike, have manifested a loyal spirit and love of country such as few families can boast. The family have virtually furnished the army, during the late rebellion, with a platoon of ten eager and brave soldiers, namely, seven sons, two grandsons and one son- in-law -- one-tenth of a whole company ; and yet two left at home,

the father and one son, regretted that they were refused the privilege of enlisting in the service-one being too aged, and the other from inability.
"And here we may challenge our own state at least, if not all the loyal states of the Union, to produce a parallel case.
"And should not this sacrifice be highly esteemed, not only by this family, but by the inhabitants of this town who know that

they have such a patriotic family in their midst? They have sac- rificed all the comforts of life, and even life itself for the good of us all. And in addition to the celebration of this golden wed- ding, we come up here tonight to manifest our appreciation of such voluntary services and sacrifice, by our voices and our con- tributions."

THE WORTHINGTON GOLDEN WEDDING
THE GOLDEN WEDDING
BY REV. JAMES CRUIKSHANKS
Met this eve, kind friends, to greet you, Met to swell this social gathering ; Gathering of the young and aged, Gathering of the gay and joyous- To express our words of pleasure, Leave our tokens more substantial, Tokens which should speak of friendship.
REV. JAMES CRUIKSHANKS. See Vol. II, Page 194.
Pardon me, on this occasion, If I call my Muse to guide me In my strain, though unpoetic. Pardon me? I know you're willing On this happy, pleasant greeting,? Though I touch on things most secret, Things for fifty years a secret. In the days of early manhood,

When your life was all before you Full of hope and full of pleasure, You were seized and taken captive, Captive in the snares of Cupid. Ruthless rogue ! He held you captive, Nor released his grasp so tender, Till you yielded to the bondage-
WILLIAM H. WORTHINGTON.
A natural born fighter. At the beginning of the war he was a pilot on one of the western rivers, getting $60 a month and board. He however gave up this position and entered the service of the United States as a private in Ist Minn. Vols., for $13 a month and board. He was in the following battles: First Bull Run, Ball's Bluff, Siege of Yorktown, Fair Oaks, Savage Station, Gaines' Mill, Mechanics- .ville, White Oak Swamp, Chapman's Farm, Malvern Hill, Second . Bull Run, Antietam, Sharpsburg, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Brandy Station and Thoroughfare Gap. Was also in ten battles in the Mexican campaign under Gen. Scott, making a total of twenty-eight battles and he passed through them all without receiving a scratch. Pro- moted to Sergeant. Deceased.
Bondage which you've loved and cherished, Fifty years of sweetest bondage. Your companion, young and blooming, With her charms and winning glances Was the conscious, loving victor. Much has passed, sweet melting missives, Through the mail, perchance in secret,
THE WORTHINGTON GOLDEN WEDDING 241
Words of love were spoken, whispered
In the kitchen by the chimney ; On the sofa in the parlor ;
'Neath the elm tree in the moonlight ;
None but you, perhaps the angels
Heard the accents of devotion
That were uttered with responses.
Pardon me if I am touching
On a period all too sacred ;
For 'tis part of the occasion
Reaching from that joyous evening-
Fifty years today precisely.
ORIN A. WORTHINGTON. Was in service one year as one of the National Guard of the State of Ohio.
Time passed on with footsteps fleeting ; Days were counted, hours were numbered, Till the happy day was settled, Settled for the mystic union.
Joining hands in holy wedlock,
Joining hands for life together, You commenced: the heavens were sunlight
O'er your heads and all before you ; 'Twas a day you'll long remember For the hopes you fondly cherished.
21
242
SKETCHES OF SPENCER HISTORY
Thus commenced your life-long journey, Thus you've traveled on together, Through the clouds and through the sunshine, Quaffing now the cup of sorrow, Then the chalice of enjoyment.
Time passed on with many changes ; Soon your hearts were cheered and gladdened - Gladdened by a little stranger Who appeared to bless the household With the voice of love and prattle, Adding care and welcome trouble, Sweetening life already joyous.
HAMMOND J. WORTHINGTON. Volunteered but rejected for physical cause. Still living and makes his home in Spencer part of the time.
'Twas a link of golden texture, Binding hearts already loving ; But the days were swiftly passing And new powers were quickly added - Powers to speak and powers to listen, Wonder of the happy household. Thus the little one was lisping Words which parent hearts are hearing, Words of love and words of wonder, When there came another stranger,
243
THE WORTHINGTON GOLDEN WEDDING
To be companion to his brother, Opening up new thoughts and feelings In your hearts so fond and loving. Then another, and still another, Till twelve in number blessed the household.
Stout boys eleven - one gentle daughter. But shadows gathered round your windows, Clouds appeared, and one was taken, Then another, and still another,
ALBERT C. WORTHINGTON. :
Impressed into the Rebel service June 1861 in Tennessee. Escaped to Union lines one month afterwards and entered service for one year in 2nd Ill, Vols. Cav. Was after- wards in 145th Ill. Vols. Inf., most of the time on detached duty. His wife also served as matron in the General Hospital at Union City, Tennessee.
Then a third, till four were taken. Thus life moved on with care and sorrow, Life and joy, and death and mourning. Time passed on, the children growing, The sons to youth, and then to manhood. Like birds, already fledged and seeking Another home in the wide world, They bade farewell, and left the roof-tree, To do their part in life's great battle.
244
SKETCHES OF SPENCER HISTORY
In the meantime lo! the nation Is involved in revolution ; Enemies, who long were working, Rose in mad and bold rebellion, Resolved to rule or else to ruin.
The blow was aimed and struck at Sumter. In a moment the whole nation
From Atlantic to Pacific, Was aroused in indignation.
CHARLES D. WORTHINGTON.
Enlisted in the 3rd Rhode Island Battery for three years, Aug. 13th, 1861 and served until expiration of term. Promoted to Sergeant and was in the following battles: Ball's Bluff, Siege of Yorktown, Fair Oaks, Savage Station, Gaines' Mill, Malvern Hill, Chapman's Farm, White Oak Swamp, Mechanicsville, Second Bull Run, Sharpsburg, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, The Wilderness, Spottsylvania, Cold Harbor and the five battles around Petersburg. Wounded at Gettysburg. Resides in Spencer.
Quick the calls came, quick were answered -
Calls for men both brave and noble. Nobly answered all your household, None more nobly in the nation.
All your sons, the seven in number, Hastened to their country's altar ; There they made a full surrender Of their lives for the Republic !
245
THE WORTHINGTON GOLDEN WEDDING
And you, sir, and your companion, Nobly answered to the country : " Here they are, my sons most precious - Take them all, and they are worthy ; It is all I have to give thee : Take them - thou art worthy also !" To your sons you answered grandly : " Go, my boys, gird on the armor ; Go equipped into the battle ! Meet the foe with fearless courage, Meet them in the name of Freedom ;
Strike them down as fiendish traitors !

Go, my boys, defend the banner - The sacred banner of the nation ! " They boldly went to martial music - Obeyed their father and their country ; 'Mid shot and shell they fought like heroes ; From field to field they marched and conquered. Thus all went forth to face rebellion, All went out with flying banners ; All returned with heroes' laurels, All but one, and he is missing ! On the field he fell while fighting -

Fighting for the bleeding nation. Now he sleeps - the nation mourns him. With the victors he is numbered, And his name shall never perish. One was wounded - he is with us. He shall speak, and we shall hear him - He shall speak, for he is worthy - Worthy more than any present.

But I must not longer keep you For I see the time is passing, And we are to hear from others. Hence, kind friends, again we greet you, On this hour so gay and joyous. May this scene, with friends around you, Be an omen of the future ; - Bright and golden be that future ; - May the sky be bright above you, And the sea which lies before you Be ever free from storms and tempests ;

THE WORTHINGTON GOLDEN WEDDING
And at last, when life is over,
'Tis our prayer on this occasion, That, to you and your companion, With your children and their children May be given a blissfull entrance Where sounds no more the shout of battle, But peace shall reign eternally.
The President then presented the couple a substantial dona- tion of money in the following words :
SARAH ELIZA (WORTHINGTON) BLISS.
Wife of E. M. Bliss, who probably accomplished as much for the Union in her sphere at home as any one of her brothers did in the field. She was a tireless worker for the sol- diers. Died Apr. 27, 1889, aged 57 years, 1 month, 20 days.

He took notes of the entire proceedings and thus to him the public are indebted for the preservation of this speech, which shows the trend of thought and style of language used by this notable son of Spencer.

HON. JAMES DRAPER. Copy by Currin
Born in Spencer Feb. 26, 1778. Died in Spencer Oct. 27, 1868. Author of History of Spen- cer. Appointed Justice of the Peace in 1810. This office then carried with it the author- ity to try cases. He became the Trial Justice of the town and continued to hold court until he became quite an old man and unable longer to fill the position with satisfaction to himself. In the meantime he had tried over a thousand cases. He was a delegate in 1820 for altering or amending the consti- tution, representative twelve years, senator two years, assessor twenty-seven years, town clerk one year, town treasurer twelve years and selectman ten years. Besides the above posi- tions of trust of a public nature which he filled with credit he was largely employed in the settle- ment of estates and other legal business.
and there a few of us, like stars just above the horizon, about to set, never to rise again! When you came here the site of Spen- cer was almost vacant ground. Now it is dotted over with

steeples and spires, and houses and manufactories. We have me- chanic shops that look more like palaces, and many school houses ; and this spacious town hall did not then exist. This hall is now filled with the smiling faces of those who have come here to see you and your lady and family, to see what is called a 'Golden Wedding.' This is well, and I approve of it. When a man and wife have been married fifty years, it is well to look back at the ups and downs and zig-zags that have occurred in their lives.
HENRY D. WORTHINGTON.
Served three years and three months in Co. H, 2nd Ohio Vols. Was promoted to Lieuten- ant and was in the following battles: First Bull Run, Ivy Mountain, Perryville, Stone River, Hoover's Gap, Chickamauga, Lookout Mountain, Mission Ridge, Hooker's Gap, Resaca, Buzzard Roost, Peach Tree Creek and Siege of Atlanta. Now living at Terre Haute, Ind., managing railroad interests.
It is well for you, if you have committed any mistakes, to see where you missed it, and endeavor to do better in the future. There is such a thing as family jars; if you have had any it is a good time to forgive.
"I have said we came here to see your 'Golden Wedding.' We have come also to thank you for your patriotism. A patriot is a man who loves and defends his country. I don't say that you

shouldered your musket ; you are too old for that; but you must have used your influence. I understand that you have sent, directly, or indirectly, seven sons and two grandsons to swell the Union army. There is no parallel in this state, in this country -- under heaven .* (Great applause) One of those soldiers was killed, and another returned maimed for life.
AUGUSTUS S. WORTHINGTON.
Enlisted as private in Co. D 98th Ohio Vols., Aug 6, 1862 and discharged from the service by special order of the Secretary of War, Mar. 31, 1865. Was in the battles of Perry- ville, Resaca and Kenesaw Mountain. Wounded at Perryville and Kenesaw, the latter resulting in the loss of a leg. Mr. Worthington is a leading lawyer in Washington, D. C. Has been District Attorney for the District of Col- umbia. He is said to have amassed a fortune.
"Mr. Worthington, I have known you for a long time and I will say for you, that you have been an honest and industrious man, and that you have attended to your own business and have

let others attend to theirs. It is said that 'Diligence maketh a man rich' but there are few proverbs that are not liable to excep- tion. I believe that you have not been successful in laying up a fund for your old age. This is no disparagement to you. Per- haps you did not 'work it well;' plans may have failed ; there are accidents that cannot be avoided --- flood, sickness, death and so forth. And if you have not been successful in laying up a suffi- cient sum for your declining years, your friends and neighbors have liberally contributed a handsome sum for that purpose. Capt. Grout is entitled to a great deal of credit in this matter. They have made me the trustee of this money. They have

collected in money and good vouchers a handsome sum, honor- able alike to the donors themselves and to you who receive it. Freely take it; freely use it; freely it was given, and I trust you will use it with the discretion and economy that you have char- acterized all your doings. I hope your last days may be your

best days. May you enjoy peace, health, clear consciences and contentment, -the great blessings of this world. And, when the last summons comes, may you be prepared to meet it with resignation-lamp trimmed and burning. and when you leave these pleasant abodes, may you hear a voice saying : 'Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joys of the Lord'."
Interesting remarks were also made by Rev. M. E. Wright, pastor of the M. E. church, Benjamin D., Albert S., Orin A. Worthington and Mr. William Mecorney of Worcester. The band played the "Mocking Bird," then in the height of its popu- larity and after many introductions general handshakings and so- cial chats the audience dispersed.
