WAR OF THE REBELLION.
with their horses and all the paraphernalia of war passed over the rail- road, going on to the front, and our churches were very thinly attended on that day, for a train of cars a quarter of a mile in length laden with men in their new and gay uniforms, horses with their showy trappings, and cannon bright as gold glistening in the sun, was at that time a sight more unique and interesting to young and old than the inside of a church ; consequently few turned their steps to the latter, while multitudes flocked to the railroad depot to see the former.
Action of the Town. 1861. The first legal town meeting to act upon matters connected with the war was held on the 29th of April, at which it was voted that each volunteer who shall serve in the company now being raised in the town, until mustered into the military service, shall receive one dollar a day while engaged in drilling, and when mustered in shall be supplied with a substantial uniform and a good revolver, and while engaged in active service his family shall receive eight dollars a month. The Treasurer was authorized to borrow three thousand dollars to carry these votes into effect. Freeman Walker, John Hill, and Augus- tus Smith were appointed to procure uniforms and revolvers. At an adjourned meeting this committee declined serving, (the War Depart- ment having forbidden the soldiers to carry revolvers into the service,) and Charles Adams, Jr., J. F. Hebard, and A. Woolworth were appointed in their places. This committee was instructed "to procure the uniforms forthwith." June 3d, Voted, to pay State Aid to the families of volun- teers, in accordance with the Act passed by the Legislature. July 31, Voted, that the town hereby instruct their committee to go on and furnish revolvers according to a vote already passed.
1862. March 3, Voted, to pay State Aid to families of volunteers to the amount that "the State promises to refund." July 3, Voted, to pay a bounty of one hundred dollars to each volunteer who shall enlist for three years and be credited to the quota of the town "before the Ist of August next." Aug. 22, the time was extended until the quota of the town was filled. A bounty of one hundred dollars was authorized to be paid to any inhabitant of the town who shall enlist in the nine months' service. Oct. - , Voted, to pay the same bounty to commissioned officers.
1863. Dec. 8, James Miller, Charles Adams, Jr., and T. M. Duncan were chosen to aid the Selectmen in recruiting.
1864. April 5, The bounty to each volunteer enlisting for three years and credited to the quota of the town was fixed at one hundred and twenty-five dollars. June 26, Voted, that a bounty of one hundred and twenty-five dollars be paid "for one-year men, two hundred and twenty- five dollars for two-years men, and three hundred and twenty dollars for three-years men." There was no substantial change from this system

during the remainder of the war. North Brookfield furnished 247 men for the war, which was a surplus of 12 over and above all demands. Twelve were commissioned officers. The whole amount of money appropriated and expended by the town on account of the war, exclu- sive of State Aid, was $16,939.08. The amount of money paid by the town for State Aid to soldiers' families during the war, and repaid by the Commonwealth, was as follows : In 1861, $734; in 1862, $3,884.22 ; in 1863, $5,046.16; in 1864, $5,222.09 ; in 1865, $3,000. Total amount, $17,886.47. The ladies of North Brookfield did their full share of good works for the soldiers during the war.
NOTE. The ladies of North Brookfield thoroughly organized, labored during all the years of the war, each doing work adapted to age and condition, such as knitting stockings and mittens (with one glove finger) making up blue flannel undershirts, flannel under-belts, and pin and needle cases ; preparing lint and bandages, dried fruit and delicacies, for the sick in hospitals, etc. The time of all women, old, middle-aged and young, which could be spared from household duties, was devoted to work for the soldiers. Many of the ladies who were most prominent in these good works have passed away, and their names and works are still held in grateful memory by those who shared with fallen comrades the hardships and dangers of camp and field.
Soldiers' Military and Personal Records. In preparing this list the Adjutant General's Reports have been thoroughly searched, and all names credited to North Brookfield noted ; but in many cases it was found that errors had been made in crediting men. Quite a number of men cred- ited to us were found to have belonged to Brookfield, West Brookfield, and elsewhere. A considerable number of those whose history we have given were known by us to have served to the credit of other towns and States ; and it is probable that some of our own men, whose records ought to have been published, have been put beyond our ken by being cred- ited to other towns or cities, and neither the name or regiment being known to us, it has been impossible to find them.
