The town hns filled its quota upon every call made by the Pre ident for troops, and a surplus of fourteen turn remains to its credit. So Rowley stood at the end of the war !
The domes of the men nt home in the dark days of the Civil War houll be known to the generation then unborn. In this town the real Democrats, as well as the whole Republican party, did all in their power to and enlistindis and to care for the families of those wirbad bound s ddfer- VH our citizens of foreign
birth were loyal. Of the men who enlisted, probably there were as many of one political party as of the other.
But there were a few political Ishmaelites who claimed affiliation with the Democratic party ; these favored the enemy. They styled themselves " cop- per-heads." They were cowards, blatant and harm- less. When our army met defeat and our men lay bleeding on the red field of war, these craven mis- creants rejoiced. Such was the respect for law and order that they were unmolested.
From the beginning Rowley was a manufacturing as well as a farming town.
