The true spirit of '61 is well illustrated in the related experi- ences of a youth of ten years. As a boy he used to saddle the old horse and ride over to the village every noon for the only daily paper taken in the hamlet. There were twenty or twenty-five farmers who gathered every day at the "Four Corners," to hear the war news read on his return. One morning, soon after the firing on Fort Sumter, when he went to school he found the school- house closed; the teacher had offered his services to his country. In this small hamlet sixteen enlisted into the service. One farmer with five sons walked fourteen miles to enlist. The father offered himself first, but was rejected on account of age. Four of the sons were immediately accepted. As the fifth was a little under height, his father put high heels on his shoes and fearing he would not get in when he offered himself, shouted "Bennie, stand on your toes." He was taken into the service as a drummer boy and was early wounded in action. On his recovery he was made a nurse in a hospital. He later studied medicine and became a leading army surgeon devoting his entire life to the service of the United States. A majority of those who enlisted from the hamlet were confined in Libby Prison. The teacher who left his school was so weak and emaciated that he was brought home on a

blanket. He survived and became a leading Methodist preacher and educator. The suffering in Libby Prison cannot be described. Prisoners were so hungry that they caught rats as they came out of their holes and ate them. The eye of an ox was cut into quar- sters that it might be divided among as many as possible.
MEMORIAL HALL. In grateful remembrance of the men of Dedham who fell in the great conflict to sustain the Union of the States, the town of Dedham erected in 1867, Memorial Hall at a cost of $50,000. Waldo Colburn, A. B. Endicott, William Ames 2nd, Addison Boyden and Merrill D. Ellis were the building com- mittee. The committee was unlimited in the amount authorized to be spent, but good judgment and strict economy characterized all their acts. The building was designed by Ware & Van Brunt, architects of Boston, and recalls the provincial town halls of Eng- land in outline and general character. In justice to the archi- tects it should be stated, however, that the building committee did not in all particulars follow some parts of the design which the architects considered the most appropriate. The walls are built of stone quarried on land of the First Church in Dedham (which was one of the early grants in the settlement of the town), trimmed with blue Quincy granite. The main exterior dimensions are 104 x 64 feet on the ground with an elevation of 34 feet to the cornice, and 85 feet on the summit of the tower, which surmounts the middle division of the front on Washington Street. The hall is 56 x 70 feet with a gallery and a seating capacity of 1,000 per- sons. There are five rooms on the first floor designed for offices. The land on which the Hall stands (16,610 feet) was deeded to the town as a gift from sixty-three patriotic citizens and business firms, and it was purchased at a cost of $2,350.
On the front of the building in the most conspicuous place over the main entrance is inserted a large tablet of Quincy gran- ite, decorated with oak leaves and a crown of laurel bearing this inscription :
To Commemorate The Patriotism and Fidelity of her sons who fell In Defence of the Union

In the War of the Rebellion Dedham Erects this Hall MDCCCLXVII
In this building Dedham has done what she could to preserve the memory of her heroic dead, "but stately structures of granite and tablets of marble are only faint and imperfect tributes to the memory of our brave townsmen* who endured all, dared all that this country might live." In a broad niche of the main vestibule, from which stairs to the right and left conduct to the hall above, are five beautiful marble tablets in Gothic framework of black walnut, especially designed by Mr. Van Brunt. The central tablet, which is enriched by a carved canopy supported by columns, bears this incription :
The Town of Dedham Has Caused To be Inscribed Upon These Tablets The Names of her Sons Who Fell Representing Her In Defence of the Union In the War of The Rebellion-1861 - 1865 And in whose Honor She has Erected This Hall.
The hall is adorned with a copy of Stuart's Equestrian Por- trait of Washington, made by Alvan Fisher, a Dedham artist, Stuart's portrait of Fisher Ames, and a portrait of Abraham Lin- coln.
The elegant clock placed in Memorial Hall was the gift of John Bullard, Esq., of New York. The clock was made by Howard Company of Boston who were instructed to spare no expense in its manufacture. The clock has a marble face and is inclosed in oak and black walnut suitably ornamented in relief with scroll-

work and carving. A tasteful and valuable time piece, it is at once an ornament and a useful appendage to the hall.
On the completion of Memorial Hall the Selectmen congratu- lated the town "upon the possession of a tasteful, elegant, commo- dious building, the graceful and pleasing proportions of which are much admired. The beautiful rose granite used in the construc- tion of the walls seems admirably adapted in every respect for public buildings.
"The memorial tablets will quicken our patriotism and prompt to generous deeds. The stranger will here find the names of those we honor and whose memory is to be kept green forever ; but there are homes and firesides in the old town where sad recol- lections blend with patriotic pride, where no memorial structures are needed to deepen the sense of love and honor and gratitude for our fellow townsmen and heroes." The tablets bear the names of forty-six soldiers, with rank, date and place of death, arranged in order of regiments as follows:

Memorial Hall was dedicated September 28, 1868 before the largest indoor audience at that time ever gathered in Dedham. The hall was beautifully decorated by Lamprell & Marden of Bos- ton. Appropriate music was furnished by Gilmore's Band. Addi- son Boyden, Esq. acted as President of the day. The prayer of dedication was offered by the Rev. Jonathan Edwards of Dedham.

A HISTORY OF DEDHAM
Erastus Worthington, Esq. gave the dedicatory address which was an eloquent and able production from which the following paragraph is quoted. "Let this our Memorial Hall receive a bene- diction from us all today. God keep it ever from the lightning stroke and the consuming fire. Bring hither your choicest gifts, the bust, the portrait, and what ever shall befit its memorial char- acter-then from its walls it shall speak to men of heroic deeds and remind them of what they so often forget-the high responsi- bilities of the American citizen."
The following distinguished guests had seats upon the plat- form: Hon. Theron Metcalf, formerly Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court and once a resident of Dedham; Chief Justice Seth Ames of the Superior Court, a native of the town; Judge J. P. Putnam, Gen. A. B. Underwood, the clergymen of the town and the authorities of neighboring towns.
ROSTER OF OFFICERS AND MEN WHO REPRESENTED DEDHAM IN THE CIVIL WAR.

The following colored soldiers are credited to the quota of Dedham in the Civil War. These are said to be three year re- cruits secured at Vicksburg, Mississippi-while the records of John Hildreth, John O'Brien, and John Shepard do not appear in "Massachusetts Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines in the Civil War," the Adjutant General says: "It may be safely assumed that they were credited to Dedham."

MEMORIAL DAY. In accordance with the order of General Logan, Commander in Chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, issued May 5, 1868, designating May 30th as a Memorial Day, exercises of an appropriate order were held in the Allin Congre- gational Church on May 30, 1868. "In memory of the soldiers who in the late Rebellion, gave up their lives for their Country." In 1871 Dedham made an appropriation of one hundred and fifty dollars for the decoration of soldiers' graves. The members of the newly organized Charles W. Carroll Post 144, of the Grand Army of the Republic, accompanied by a Band, performed the service in the several cemeteries of the town. Since 1872 Mem- orial Day Services have been in charge of Charles W. Carroll Post, G.A.R., who have annually held public services and decorat- ed all soldiers' graves.
