On December 8th, the vote restricting the time for enlistment was re- considered and the doings of the selectmen and treasurer were approved. In 1863 there were no votes passed by the people in town meeting in re- lation to the war.
At the March meeting in 1864, the town voted that payment of State aid should be continued. In April it voted to raise by direct taxation eight thousand dollars for recruiting purposes and to refund to citizens money which they had contributed for the encouragement of recruiting.
In August the bounty to each volunteer for three years' service who should thereafter enlist and be credited to the quota of the town was one hundred and twenty-five dollars. The treasurer was authorized to borrow money to pay the same.
In January, 1865, the same bounty was voted, and it was also voted to pay the recruiting officers of the town two dollars a day and ten cents a

mile for travel while they have been or shall be engaged in procuring volunteers for the town.
August 14th, the town voted to reimburse to the citizens such sums as they have paid for the purpose of filling the quotas of the town during the past year.
Wrentham furnished three hundred and thirty-six men for this war, which " was a surplus " as appears by a report of the adjutant general " of seventeen over and above all demands." Ten were commissioned officers. The whole amount of money, exclusive of State aid, expended by the town on account of the war was $31,531.23.
INCORPORATION OF NORFOLK.
In 1870 Wrentham again lost a part of its territory and a large number of its inhabitants. A new town was incorporated by the name of Norfolk, taking from Wrentham 7100 acres, 850 people and 140 voters and pro- perty valued at $357,475. This was done with the assent of the old town.
POPULATION.
By a Colonial census made in 1776, the population of Wrentham was two thousand eight hundred and seventy-nine (2879). In 1790 after the setting off of Franklin and also of a part of the town of Foxborough the population was 1767.
By the census of 1800 it was 2061.

In 1790 the number of houses was two hundred and forty-three, the number of families was two hundred and seventy-eight, the number of free white males sixteen years of age and upwards was four hundred and seventy-one, the number of free white females was nine hundred and seven, the number of free white males under 16 years was 387, the number of all · other persons was two. In 1800 Wrentham was the third town in the county in population, being exceeded by Roxbury and Dorchester only ; and in 1810 and in 1820 it held the same relative mark.
In 1832 a bank was incorporated with a capital of one hundred thous- and dollars, and in 1836 this was increased to one hundred and fifty thous- and dollars. Philo Sanford, Robert Blake, John Tifft, Calvin Fisher, Jr., Daniel A. Cook, Otis Carry and Samuel Warner have been its presidents. Calvin Fisher, Jr., and Francis N. Plimpton have been its only cashiers. Its capital has been twice reduced and is now $52.500.
HOUSES OF WORSHIP AND OTHER BUILDINGS.
The fourth meeting house erected near the spot occupied by its pre- decessors was dedicated in September, 1834. The old church building at West Wrentham gave way some time afterwards to a convenient house for religous purposes erected by the Baptist denomination at Sheldon- ville. A house for religous services was built by the Universalist society
80
HISTORY OF WRENTHAM.
upon the site of the old Baptist meeting house at West Wrentham. There is a chapel for the use of the Congregational society connected with their main building. This commodious and useful building was the gift of Braman Hawes, Esq., a native of Wrentham, and is denominated “ The Hawes Chapel." The Roman Catholics have also a chapel for their religi- ous uses, and there is also a chapel at Plainville under the charge it is understood of Independents. The Episcopalians a few years since estab- lished a church and erected a fine church building.
Some years since the town erected a large and convenient building in Wrentham village for the accommodation of the High School, a Grammar and a Primary School. It was also provided with a spacious and convient hall for the transaction of its public business ; and the town bade adieu to the vestry of the meeting house in which, and in its predecessors, it had held its town meetings for more than one hundred and fifty years. School houses have also been built at Sheldonville and Plainville and at West Wrentham within recent periods and the accommodations are ample throughout the town for children and youth who go to them for instruction. The first school house of the fathers which was to be " sixteen foot " with allowance of a " chimney " and was also to be for a " watch hous" would be regarded as a myth did not the sober record fully attest it.
Twice since the incorporation of the town have the events above related been commemorated, once in 1773 by the century sermon, so-called, of the Rev. Mr. Bean, and again in 1873 by the historical address of the late Judge Wilkinson. The sermon was delivered Oct. 26, 1773, and " printed at the earnest desire of the hearers for the preservation of ancient things to future posterity." This was not on the Sabbath day, and it may be presumed was honored by a large attendance.
In the second case, notwithstanding the day was very stormy, a large audience gathered in the meeting house which succeeded that in which Mr. Bean preached his commemorative discourse one hundred years before. The interesting event had induced a good number of people from other towns and places to brave the violence of the storm, one of these Professor George P. Fisher of Yale College, a native of Wrentham, participated in the exercises. The address was delivered from short notes and was not published.
The fiftieth anniversary of the ordination of the Rev. Elisha Fisk was celebrated on the 12th day of June, 1849. In the sermon preached by Mr. Fisk on that occasion he reviewed the events of his ministry of fifty years, incidentally speaking of events in the history of the town. The sermon was published together with an appendix, prepared by Mr. Fisk's colleague, the Rev. Horace James, giving an account of the celebration. One pas- sage is quoted " The Day of Jubilee Arrived." The weather was delightful. The church was filled to its utmost capacity. A multitude of the sons of Wrentham and many connected with them by marriage or other agreeable associations were gathered in their childhood home to do honor to him who from their earliest recollection had ministered at the altar of God.

Hon. Jabez Fisher was born in Wrentham, Nov. 19, 1717. He received only a common school education, but was distinguished for ready and strong common sense, and for intuitive perceptions of the proper adapta- tion of means to the ends proposed. He was sound and practical, at the same time able to detect sophistry, and baffle cunning. He was remark- able for an inflexible adherence to principle. He was courteous in manner and strongly desirous of being useful. He represented the town of Wrentham for a number of sessions in the Provincial Assembly. In 1774, in October, he was a member of the house of Delegates, which met at Salem and formed themselves into a provincial Congress, also of the second Congress which met at Cambridge, and also of the third of which Dr. Warren was President. This last Congress remained in session until July 19, 1775 when the representatives who had been elected under the provisions of the Province charter assembled. Mr. Fisher was also a member of this body, and was one of the renowned twenty-eight who were then elected Councillors to act as a distinct branch of the Legislature, and to exercise the executive powers of the Government. John Adams, Sam'l Adams, Thomas Cushing, Robert Treat Paine and John Hancock were

among those elected. Mr. Hildreth from whose biographical sketch of Mr. Fisher the foregoing is condensed continues: No member of that honorable board was in labors " more abundant than" he. " No one's judgement was more highly estimated, no one's firmness less distrusted. He was regarded as the special watchman of the country part of Suffolk (then including Norfolk) and relied upon to bring into action all the force moral and physical of that section. He never disappointed expectation, nor failed in any purpose which he deliberately formed. No man knew better what was practicable, and no man deliberated more thoroughly. He was a delegate to the Convention of Massachusetts for the adoption of the Constitution of the United States, in 1788 for which he labored and voted. He died in 1806 aged 89 years.
CONCLUSION.
In concluding the "Annals of Wrentham " the writer would say he has followed the course adopted by him in the preparation of some " Histori- cal sketches published in a newspaper in 1873, namely, he has let the re- cords from which the early history is mainly derived tell their own story, with only such change of form as to make them narrative, and such com- ments as seemed needed for explanation. Judge Wilkinson in his address pursued a similar course, taking his facts chiefly from the same sources so far as he proceeded, but covering much less ground than the present nara -. tive embraces. His manuscript (which I have kindly been permitted to inspect) is unfinished, consisting of notes and memoranda, which he prob- ably intended at some time to put into form. The Rev. Dr. Blake in his " Historical address at Franklin, June 12th., 1878 also has given from the same sources so much of the ancient history of Wrentham as was needed to introduce the history of Franklin, whose centennial was celebrated on that day.
Let it be hoped that this attempt " to preserve (in the language of Mr. Bean) " these ancient things," may not be altogether unsuccessful.
