Haverhill is one of the eleven cities in the United States producing to the value of $3,000,000 and up- wards of boots and shoes.
Connected with the various departments of the shoe industry in this town in 1887, there were-shoe con- tractors, 11; shoe erimping, 1; findings and supplies, 5; manufacturers, 166; shoe nail and taek makers, 2; shoe pattern makers, 6; shoe stitchers, 38; shoe stock (prepared), 2; shoe tool manufacturers, 3; slipper and shoe trimmings, 6; soles, tops and stiffenings, 42; paper box manufacturers, 4; cut sole leather, 4; heel contractors, 27; heel manufacturers, 36; leather board, 2; leather dealers, 12; leather remnants, 2; machine button-hole makers, 6; machines (boots and shoes), 14; blocking edges, I.
" In the shoe factory," observes Colonel Carroll D. Wright, in his report on the factory system of the United States, "is to be seen the perfeet adaptation of the manufacture of goods, by perfect, harmonious processes."
One or two things seem to be admitted about the shoe business of Haverhill " in the trade "-first, that in the classes of goods she chooses to produce and put upon the market, she is unsurpassed for taste and fin- ish ; second, that in Washington and adjoining streets she has the finest shoe quarter and factories to be found in the country.
The shipment of shoes from the city for 1882 was 158,442 cases; 1883, 194,874; 1884, 194,761; 1885, 226,358; 1886, 232,217 ; 1887, 228,269. Falling off for 1887, 3946 cases; but, owing to the manner of packing, it is more seeming than real.
When, April 19, 1861, the Hale Guards, Company G, Captain C. P. Messer, were hastily summoned to go to the front, as they had already pledged themselves to do, they were escorted to the common and to the station by the surviving members of the old Haver- hill Light Infantry. Company G was in the first battle of Bull Run, where one Haverhill man, Hiram S. Collins, was killed ; James A. Shaw was wounded, and taken prisoner at the same time.
May 2d, a meeting was called at Music Hall, to make provision for the families of volunteers. A resolution offered by Hon. Alfred Kittredge, proposing to raise ten thousand dollars for the families of volunteers, was passed, and Alfred Kittredge, J. B. Swett, Levi Taylor and seven others, were appointed a committee to provide for them. Other appropriate resolutions were adopted.
April 22, 1861, the ladies organized a Relief Society in the chapel of the North Congregational Church. May 3d it adopted articles of association, and took the
name of the "Soldiers' Relief Society of Haverhill and Bradford." In this work the ladies of the par- ishes and Ayer's village joined with hearty good- will. Mrs. E. P. Hill held the position of president until the last year of the war, when Mrs. Daniel llar- riman became her successor.
The first work of the society was, to supply clothing and comforts to the families of the volunteers. First, were the Hale Guards, Captain C. P. Messer ; next, Company D, Captain A. J. How; Company F., cap- tain Luther Day; Company E, Captain MeNamara. They supplied Captain Day's company with a full uniform, and two other companies with an undress uniform.
After Antietam, suceor was extended to Company G, Captain Gibson ; also to Companies "F" and "G " of the Fiftieth. Captains Samuel W. Duncan and Geo. W. Edwards ; to Captain E. F. Tompkins' company, of the Seventeenth, and Captain Boynton's, of the Six- tieth. Contributions were made to the "Sanitary Commission;" the New England Rooms, New York ; the Cooper Shop Hospital, Philadelphia ; the Massa- chusetts Soldiers' Relief Society, at Washington.
In 1862 bounties were voted.
Early in July, 1862, intelligence was received of the death of Major Henry Jackson How, before Rich- mond. The town adopted resolutions, and requested his battle sword to be placed near the speaker's stand, and inscribed the "Battle Sword of Henry Jackson How, who fell in front of Richmond while defending the Constitution and Flag of his country." Major How fell at the battle of Glendale, before Rich- mond, June 30, 1862. " Major How," wrote General Schouler, "served in the Twenty-second Regiment Massachusetts Volunteers, and was one of the bravest and most promising of our young officers. He gradu- ated at Harvard College, and was killed at Glendale, before Richmond, June 30, 1862, nobly facing the foe."
The subject of a Soldiers' Monument was early agitated. James II. Carleton, J. V. Smiley, E. T Ingalls, O. H. Roberts, J. P. Gilmore, Alfred Kitt- redge and E. P. Hill, were members of the committee upon the subject. On the place of location, James 11. Duncan, William Taggart and Caleb Hersey were the committee. In March, 1868, a plan was reported, to cost $6000 for monument and $1000 for inclosing the same, which was accepted, and James II. Carleton, J. V. Smiley, C. P. Messer, Henry T. Fitt-, J. K. Jenness and 1). Smith Kimball were constituted the building committee. A contract was made with Charles Il. Weeks, of Haverhill, as sculptor and architect.
One hundred and eighty-six names are upon the monument, with room for fifty more. The monument was dedicated July 5, 1869, the address being deliv- ered by Hon. George B. Loring, of Salem.
The number of men raised by Ilaverhill was about 1300, giving a surplus of eighty-five in excess of all claims. Seventy-three were commissioned officers

embracing six field officers, five of whom were cred- ited to its quota and one to Boston, as follows: Gen- eral William F. Bartlett, noticed elsewhere. The other five were, Colonel Wm. B. Greene, of the First Heavy Artillery ; Colonel Jones Frankle, of the Second Mas- sachusetts Heavy Artillery (this officer was captain in First Heavy Artillery Regiment, major in the Seven- teenth Regiment, and came out of the war brigadier- general of volunteers by brevet); Colonel Charles P. Messer, of the Fiftieth Regiment ; Major Luther Day, of the Seventeenth Regiment ; Major Andrew Jackson llow, of the Nineteenth Regiment (who fell before Richmond); Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Splaine, of the Seventeenth Regiment.
The town raised and expended to carry on the war, exclusive of State aid, $118,135.49.
The total amount raised and paid out for State aid, refunded by the Commonwealth, was $114,542.24.
May 15, 1869, the town accepted the city charter, by a vote of 671 yeas to 141 nays. September 1, 1869, the town accepted an act of the Legislature to unite Bradford with Haverhill in a city by a vote of 212 yeas to 67 nays. But Bradford voted no.
Monday, January 3, 1870, Warner R. Whittier, the first mayor-elect, took the oath of office, administered by Alfred Kittredge, justice of the peace.
David B. Jenney was unanimously elected city clerk, and has been unanimously re-elected at every successive election since that time.
Mayor Whittier was re-elected in 1871, and his suc- cessors have been : Levi Taylor, in 1872, who was re-elected but resigned; J. V. Smiley, in 1873 and 1874; Alpheus Currier, in 1875; Joseph K. Jenness, in 1876 and 1877; Nathan S. Kimball, in 1878 and 1879; Charles Shapleigh, in 1880 and 1881; Moses llow, in 1882 and 1883; Calvin H. Weeks, in 1884; Joseph 11. Sheldon, in 1885; Calvin H. Weeks, in 1886; Joseph 1l. Sheldon, in 1887; and George II. Carleton, in 1888.
January 22, 1743, the house of Dr. H. Brown, at ITolt's Rocks, was burned, and his daughter, twenty- three years old and a son of Dr. Currier, perished.
Sunday, April 16, 1775, an alarming fire swept away all the west side of Main Street, from the pres- ent Court Street to White's corner on Merrimac Street. Seventeen buildings were burned, embracing a brick tavern owned by John White, stores of Dea- con Joseph Dodge and James Duncan, and a distillery. October, 1827, the house and barn of Daniel Ap- pleton and the barn of Hon. James H. Duncan, on Main, not far from Court Street, were destroyed by lire.
On the morning of January 1, 1847, the meeting- house of the First Parish was entirely destroyed.
Sunday morning, November 16, 1873, a fire broke out in Washburn Block, Bear Washington Square, ex- tending to the brick shoe manufactories on Washing- ton Street. By the energy of the Fire Department and with prompt aid from Lawrence it was at last subdued.
Thirty-five business firms were burned out, and the loss was estimated at $150,000. Two men-Mr. Amos Heath, of Bradford, and Mr. Amos George, of Haverhill-lost their lives in trying to save their property. This was the most important fire in the annals of llaverhill, until February 17, 1882, when, just before midnight, a fire broke out in a wooden block on the north side of Washington Street. Valu- able aid was received from Newburyport and Lawrence and the fire was at last stayed, but not until it had destroyed property estim«ted at more than $1,080,000. Joseph St. Germain, a fireman, was killed by a falling chimney. Another person, named Whittier, was seri- ously injured and long disabled, but ultimately recov- ered. Apprehensions were expressed by a few that this very serions disaster had so crippled the town that it would have great difficulty in recovering from the shock. This, however, was not the prevailing expres- sion, which was one of courage and even buoyancy. Business soon became active again, and the object of the sufferers was to resume operations in the old localities as soon as possible. This was largely ac- complished before the first anniversary of the fire, and in a most satisfactory manner. Beautiful and sub- stantial buildings had been erected in place of those de-troyed, and the anniversary of the outbreak was celebrated by a spirited banquet at the Eagle House. Through the exhibition of pluck and energy made by the sufferers, they won the sympathy of the entire business community of the country. The fire, dis- tressing as it seemed, is generally admitted to have been a blessing in disguise. July 4, 1876, the National Centennial Anniversary was observed with considera- ble display and much enthusiasm. In the afternoon a very appropriate and valuable oration was delivered by Dr. John Crowell before the city government and the public generally, at the City Ilall.
The limits assigned to this sketch have already been over-passed. It is as well, perhaps, that space does not allow recapitulation of recent events, which are apt to seem disproportionately large, till the lapse of time has thrown them into proper perspective. Yet the writer regrets very much not to be able to use material placed at his disposal with friendly courtesy. lle trusts not to seem indifferent to politeness, especi- ally of those who furnished valuable information about the Masonic, Odd Fellows and other charitable and friendly organizations ; as Major llow Post 47, G. A. R. One word may be pardoned in reference to the work which has been done in the past towards elucidating the history of Haverhill.
In 1816, Leverett Saltonstall, born in Haverhill, and much attached to the place of his nativity, wrote an excellent sketch, which was published in the pro- ceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society. It is not otherwise accessible to the public. It was limited in scope, bnt made an excellent beginning.
In March, 1830, John G. Whittier, then conduct- Fing the Essex Gazette, and a young man of twenty-

three, issued proposals to publish a history of Haver- hill, in one volume of two hundred piges, duodecimo ; price, eighty-seven and one-half cents a copy. Ile undoubtedly found that the sacrifice of time and of money involved in the scheme would be too great, and so abandoned the project. He, however, with characteristic kindness, placed the material which he had collected at the disposal of B. L. Mirick, a young man employed in the store of Mr. John Dow, as clerk, who, in June, 1831, issued a prospectus for a history of the town. It appeared in March, 1832, at the price of one dollar; although it bears the marks of haste, it is in the main a spirited narrative and very creditable to the compiler. The style is sometimes too florid. ( 'hase's book (1861), notwithstanding some inaccuracies, is a valuable one. He was out of health, and would doubtless have corrected certain errors him- self, had he lived. His book will always be an indis- pensable basis for work in the same direction. But town histories require infinite patience about detail, and perennial revising. Although seeming to him- self to have exercised reasonable caution, the writer of this sketch, is perfectly aware that he may have committed egregious blunders, for which he asks par- don in advance. E. P. Hill, a few years since, wrote valuable sketches of this and neighboring towns.
The two hundred and fittieth anniversary of the settlement of Haverhill will soon be here, (1890). Perhaps some self-sacrificing person will mark the auspicious occasion by a careful and complete history.
The following is substantially a copy of the soldiers' record of the town of Haverhill, kept by the town clerks, in accordance with law ; corrected by compar- ison with the military records and other sources :
Complete record of the name of all the soldiers and officers in the military service, and of all the seamen and officers in the Daval service of the United States, from Haverhill, during the Rehellion, begun in 1861, together with authentic facts relating to the military or naval career of each soldier, seaman and offi- cer-made out, with additious from time to time, in conformity with the statutes of the Commonwealth, approved March 7, 1863, and April 29, 1863.
