On the 30th day of April, 1849, the society adopted as their corporate name the Ashland Baptist Church. A larger place of convening was now found to be needed. A committee consisting of Benjamin Homer, Edwin A. Forbush, Charles Morse, Albert Leland and Richard Montague were chosen to erect a church upon the new lot of land lately purchased of Captain John Stone, situated on the east side of Summer Street. The committee's action resulted in securing for the society its present commodious building, which was dedicated on April 10, 1850, by services conducted by the pastor, B. F. Bronson. Funds to purchase the land and build this church were obtained by subscription, but not in sufficient amount ; so that a debt remained, which was discharged by Oliver Brewer and Charles Morse, who received the notes of the church deacons for the moneys advanced by them. During the ministry of Rev. K. Ilolt this indebted- ness, or what remained of it, was paid off, so that the society then became quite free from debt. Since then, on account of misfortunes, other debts have been in- curred, though the church is now paying the running expenses. The present membership is one hundred and twenty, about one-third of whom are non-resi- dents. The church records to March 26, 1846, the date of the burning of the E. A. Forbush boot-shop, were destroyed in that fire. A general minute has been entered covering the early years, and the princi- pal facts relating to the church down to nearly the present time were recently gathered by Miss M. A. Homer and are preserved in a manuscript history.

Prominent among the early members of the society appear the names of Michael llomer, Benjamin Homer, T. S. Burlingame, who was the first deacon, Alvah Ormes, Lyman Fay and E. A. Forbush. Later Albert Leland became connected with the church, and afterwards to the time of his death was, perhaps, its most influential member. 1Ie was a man of prop- erty, and at his decease left to the church a devise of real estate which will eventually become operative.

For consistency and usefulness in more recent years the life of Dea. David R. Chamberlain is cited, who died February 14, 1880.

In calling a pastor it has not been the custom of this church, at least in recent years, to convene a council for installation ceremonies. Any person who has been ordained in the Baptist Church, is eligible to serve as pastor, and the only distinction in hiring

seems to be that the term may be limited, or left in- definite, according to the circumstances of the given case. Both methods have been practiced by this church, the present pastor, S. T. Frost, having been employed for an indefinite period.

Following is a list of pastors, with a few brief notes concerning them :

Z. P. Wilde closed his labors July 2, 1846, and after preaching in Marblehead, Boylston, and perhaps other places, became a missionary in New York City. He was noted for his able pastoral work.

B. F. Bronson was pastor from December 7, 1846, to November 10, 1850. He was afterwards connected with churches in Waltham, West Putnam, Connecti- cut and Andover, Mass., where he is now living in retirement. .

Prof. Henry Day came from Brown University to take charge of this church March 1, 1851. He re- mained only till June 6, 1852, when he returned to his college work. He is remembered as an interesting preacher. Later be was a pastor in Philadelphia and in Indianapolis, and now resides in the last- named city.

N. Medbury, who lived upon the farm now occupied by William Enslin, was pastor from 1853 to 1854.

K. Holt officiated from January 3, 1856, to January 29, 1860, then going to Milford. He is now living in Petersham.

W. W. Ames was pastor from February 26, 1860, to September, 1861.

D. F. Lamson commenced work with the church April 20, 1862, and closed on November 29, 1865. Ile not only conducted his church ably, but worked for and with the town in promoting enlistments, and in awakening enthusiasm during the war. Later he became pastor of churches in Northboro', Worcester, Hartford, Conn., and in Manchester-by-the-Sea, where he is now residing.

R. B. Moody ably occupied the pulpit from April 26, 1866, to February 22, 1868. Afterwards he was for many years pastor of the church in Plymouth, and is now at the Monument Church in Chariestown.

G. B. Potter's term of service was from May, 1868, to November, 1870. He died at Newton, and was buried November 25, 1870, in Wildwood Cemetery. Annually his grave is decorated by his surviving soldier comrades.

W. R. Maul, who served from January 15, 1871, to November, 1872, was thought by Benjamin llomer, who listened to his sermons every Sabbath, to be the ablest preacher who had stood in the Baptist pulpit. He was afterwards pastor at Hobcken, and is now at the Mariners' Church on Staten Island.

J. D. Mceson followed, October 5, 1873, to April 1, 1875, going thence to Lebanon, N. Y. He is now in Melrose without a charge.

N. B. Wilson was pastor from November 1, 1875, to April 31, 1878, and L. S. Fitts from September, 1878, to May 1, 1881.

A. M. Higgins took charge on May 1, 1881, and continued to February 14, 1883, when he went to Somerville to reside. He now preaches at different places, as opportunities are afforded.

C. D. R. Meacham was pastor from May 1, 1883, to June, 1886, going at that time to Canton. He has built a residence in Stoneham.

D. G. Macdonald was pastor from August, 1886, to January, 1888, while pursuing his studies in the theo- logical seminary. Ile has now returned to labor in Canada.

S. T. Frost, the present pastor, began his labors in July, 1888.

Methodist Episcopal Church .- There were people residing in town who, although they had been in the habit of attending religious services at the Congrega- tional or Baptist Churches, had never felt quite at home.

It had been intended, whenever a favorable time came and sufficient means could be insured to carry it on, that a church of the Methodist faith should be established. In view of the growth of the town, and the fact that a competent leader having financial means-in the person of Charles Allen-was ready to take up the work, in 1866 the question of establish- ing a church began to be entertained. The move- ment commenced with the holding of prayer-meetings at the houses of believers in that faith. Besides Mr. Alden, Mr. Hayden, Hiram Mellen, George Scott and others, including persons from Hopkinton, hecame in- terested and met together at the meetings. It was not till the spring of 1868 that plans had become fully ma- tured. At that time Mr. Alden attended the General Conference, and, making known the purpose of the Methodist people here to establish a church, obtained the assignment of his friend, Rev. George W. Mans-

field, as a minister to this station. Mr. Mansfield had been resting for two years, that he might recover his broken health. He came at once and opened his work, commencing preaching services in the Town- hall, which were continued here each Sabbath, until the succeeding spring.

Soon after the arrival of Mr. Mansfield the work of establishing a church was begun. The records show that on July 15, 1868, the Methodist Episcopal Church of Ashland was organized, according to the forms of law. On July 5th, preceding, the Quarterly Conference had appointed as trustces, Charles Alden, George Scott, William A. Tilton, J. N. Pike, and A. T. Davis. At the the meeting of the trustees held on the date of its organization, J. N. Pike was chosen president, and A. T. Davis secretary. At the same meeting a committee on the building of the church was appointed, consisting of the persons above named with the exception of Mr. Davis, and with the ad- dition of three more members-Charles II. Tilton Alvah Metcalf and John Crismess. This committee went speedily to work, Mr. Aklen taking a very ac- tive part. A lot of land situated on the eastern' side

of Alden Street, at the junction of Church Avenue, was furnished by Alden from lands owned by him- self. Plans for the building were obtained and the work commenced and pushed forward, so that before the next spring the church was completed, furnished, provided with an organ, and ready for occupancy. The church was dedicated free of debt, March 3, 1869, the presiding elder conducting the exercises. The funds for building and furnishing this church which, including all expenses, cost about $15,000, were furnished chiefly by Charles Alden in the first in- stance, and it is said in the final outcome, that the enterprise cost him $8000 in actual money. At a meeting of the trustecs held May 24, 1869, the fol- lowing vote was passed, " that we, the trustees accept the deed of the M. E. Church from Brother Alden," and that the " trustees extend to Brother Alden a vote of thanks for the interest he has taken and the money he has expended in building and furnishing the M. E. Church." For the purpose of reimbursing Mr. Alden in part for moneys advanced, subscriptions were obtained from the people. About $500 were raised at a fair held by the church, which were used to defray expense of carpets and other furnishings. In the building of the church and collecting a con- gregation, the efforts of the pastor and his wife were constant and effective, much of their success being due, doubtless, to skill derived from previous ex- perience in similar work. This church started off with a membership of sixteen, which has been in- creased so that the present number is one hundred and thirty. Its original members came in part from the other churches, but there was never any other than kind feelings exercised toward the churches from which they came. Alden had for several years, up to the time when he began to attend the Methodist meetings, been a regular attendant at the Congrega- tional Church, and superintendent of its Sunday- school. That church had recently shown courtesy toward its Methodist attendants by hiring for several months as its pulpit supply, a Mr. Cushing, who was a Methodist minister. This church has freely joined with other churches in all work which can best be done unitedly. A flourishing Sunday-school is con- nected with the church.

The succession of pastors is as follows, their terms beginning about April 1st, the regular time for change of ministers in this denomination. George W. Mansfield was with the church from April, 1868, three years. His excellent work has already been alluded to. His wife was a very able assistant. Since leaving Ashland his health has allowed him to con- tinue in his ministerial labors. He has now been at Gloucester since April, 1889.

A. O. Hamilton was with the church two years be- ginning April, 1871. He was noted for good dis- courses, and particularly for his fine performances as a reader. While here he was pursuing, as he found time, the study of medicine, and is now a physician

in practice in East Boston, having taken charge of but one church since leaving Ashland.

Loramus Crowell was a scholarly preacher and had formerly been a presiding elder; coming in 1873, he remained one year.

In 1874 Henry Lummis commenced a pastorate of three years, during which time he became greatly re- spected both by his church and the people of the town. As a member of the school committee, oppor- tunity was afforded for making use of his wide and accurate scholarship. After serving as pastor at va- rious stations, he is now discharging the duties of a professor in one of the Western colleges.

J. R. Cushing followed in 1877, remaining three years. He was a genial man and an acceptable preacher. He too became well known in town, hold- ing for a time the office of school committee. He has left samples of his large, even handwriting in the committee's record-book, having served as secretary of that board. He is now pastor of the Stanton Avenue Church in Boston.

Elias Hodge followed in 1880, his term of service being two years. He was an acceptable preacher and an agreeable companion.

W. H. Cook came in 1882, remaining one year.

E. A. Manning was an able preacher and a wide- awake citizen. He was often employed to report public meetings for the press. It is in this capacity that for many years his erect figure upon the stage has become familiar to the frequenters of the Chautauqua meetings at the Framingham camping-ground. He came to Ashland in 1883 and remained two years.

In 1885 Pastors Full and Hopkins supplied.

J. C. Smith was assigned to this church in 1886. There were those who thought his sermons equal to any that have been delivered in the church. He re- signed in the summer of 1887, and has recently deceased.

C. H. Talmage, while pursuing his course of theologi- cal study in Boston University, was sent here to supply the pulpit in the last part of 1887. In the following year he was appointed pastor. He manifested energy in all his work. He succeeded in collecting the scat- tered congregation and in securing much-needed re- pairs of the church edifice. The next year he was assigned to a church in Boston Highlands.

Harvey H. Paine came in 1889 and is still with the church.

CIVIL WAR .- When the war broke out in 1861 the town was in debt $16,000, chiefly for the cost of the Town Hall built six years before. The town, how- ever, assumed readily the new burden imposed by the war. No one at first supposed that there was to be a long, hard trial of strength between the contending parties. As the war progressed it became apparent, however, that only the greater resources of the North would enable that section finally to prevail. The town of Ashland came forward in response to every call and provided its full quota. At first it was only

necessary to appeal to the patriotism of the citizens to secure the required number of volunteers. After- ward inducements were offered in the way of bounties to the persons enlisting and aid to their families. The bounties paid varied widely, but tended to in- crease as the war went on, sometimes runuing above $400. Ashland provided for the calls made ont of its own citizens, if a very small number of recruits near the close of the war he excepted. When soldiers were wanted public meetings were held, which were addressed by citizens and hy speakers from abroad. At the close of the meeting volunteers were called for, and under the inspiration of the hour were readily obtained. The first call by the President for twenty companies of three months' men, made April 15, 1861, was filled from the State Militia. Of the thirty-nine regiments of three years' men called for on May 3, 1861, Massachusetts procured by solicitation the priv- ilege of sending six regiments. In the Eleventh and Twelfth, sent forward at this time, Ashland fur- nished a considerable number of men.

In July of the same year an act of Congress au- thorized the President to call for 500,000 men, and thenceforward requisitions were made upon the States as soldiers were wanted. In response to the calls upon the town of Ashland, enlistments were made onward quite to the close of the war, chiefly for three years. The Thirty-second Infantry and Second Cavalry contained a large number of these men. In response to the President's call of August 4, 1862, for 300,000 nine months' men, a considerable number en- listed in the Fifth Infantry. The other enlistments are widely scattered in the service, and are mostly for three years, a few being for one year and one hundred days, respectively. The town made liberal promises to its volunteers. Taking early advantage of the war acts passed by the Legislature, they voted in the fall of 1861 to appropriate money in aid of the families of the soldiers, and in the summer of 1862 for the en- couragement of enlistments. Subsequently similar votes were passed, adding to the sumis appropriated; and in March, 1863, it was voted that the selectmen be instructed to send for the bodies of deceased soldiers. In 1865 the poll-taxes of the soldiers were abated for that year. The whole amount of money appropriated and expended by the town for war purposes was about $12,000 ; a sum nearly as large, raised and paid as aid to the families of the soldiers, was afterward re- paid by the State. According to the report of the Adjutant-General, Ashland furnished one hundred and eighty-four men for the war, which was a surplus ot eleven above all demands.

Among these soldiers, three only were commis- sioned officers, these men having been promoted from the ranks. The following is a roll of officers and pri- vates, intended to include residents of Ashland, and persons serving upon its quotas. The first date given is that of muster in. A final date standing unexplained shows the close of service, which may be hy expira -
