THE PROCEEDINGS OF THE FIFTH MASSA- CHUSETTS BATTERY ASSOCIATION.
BY BREVET CAPTAIN NATHAN APPLETON.
"Later the storms of rain, accompanied with thunder and lightning, reminding one of the battles of the years of manhood's prime, played round it."
-N. A.'s Recollections of Mont Blanc.
The Fifth Massachusetts Battery, like most of the regi- ments and batteries of the state, formed an organization not long after the war was over. The date of ours was ISTO.
I was away many of the early years of its existence, and did not attend one of the meetings until October 7th, 1877. This one was held at "Parker's," Boston, and for it in the dining room I loaned the lithograph of the battle of Gaines Mills, and the engraving of Gettysburg. the battle scene painted by James Walker though planned by Colonel John B. Batchelder. In these battles the Battery suffered most.
Since the last reunion, held three years previous, Captain Phillips, who was President of the association, had died. Captain George D. Allen was chosen President for the en- suing year. and I was chosen Vice President together with Captain H. D. Scott, and Patrick Welsh. John F. Murray was elected Secretary, and George H. Leach Treasurer.
THE DEATH OF MAJOR PHILLIPS.
Charles Appleton Phillips, born in Salem, Mass., January 31, 1841, was the son of Hon. Stephen Clarendon Phillips,
969
970
HISTORY OF THE
mayor of Salem, and member of congress from Massachu- setts, and grandson on the maternal side, of Margaret Appleton, of the Ipswich Appleton stock, who married Willard Pecle of Salem.
At the close of the war he resumed the study of law, and his death took place March 20, 1876, at Gold Hill. a small mining town near Virginia City, Nevada, of congestion of the lungs, while looking after the interests of his clients. His body was received in Salem Friday afternoon April 14th, for interment in the family lot in Harmony Grove.
At a stated meeting of the Massachusetts Commandery of the Military Order Loyal Legion, United States, held on Wednesday, April 5, 1876, at the Headquarters in Bos- ton, a tribute to his memory was adopted, which was after- wards printed.
LOYAL LEGION TRIBUTE. HEADQUARTERS
COMMANDERY OF THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS, BOSTON, April 10, 1876.
Tribute to the memory of
COMP. BREVET MAJOR CHARLES A. PHILLIPS U. S. VOLS. Late Captain Fifth Light Battery, Massachusetts Volunteer Artillery.
Adopted at a Stated Meeting of this Commandery, held on Wednesday, April Fifth, 1876.
As a student at Harvard, he took high rank in the Classical and Mathematical Departments, but left his professional studies for a subordinate position in the Light Artillery service.
Of a retiring disposition. he desired no reward other than the consciousness of duty faithfully performed, but his merits soon brought him promotion.
971
FIFTH MASS. BATTERY.
As a Battery commander, he was careful and considerate for his men, and asked them to incur no danger in which he did not take a conspicuous share. From the midst of the enemy at Gettysburg, he helped to draw one of his disabled pieces by hand; advancing his battery by section, he drove the enemy before him at Bethesda Church ; fearless of danger, on an important occasion, he stood alone on the breastworks of Fort Sedgwick; before Petersburg, exposed to the hottest fire, encouraging his men and calling for "spherical case," he led the pioneers who cleared away the obstructions around Fort Mahone, in the final engagement, and closed his services with the war, commanding a brigade of the Reserve Artillery of the Army of the Potomac.
As a soldier, his record was one of heroism; as a citizen of industry and usefulness, and now, while we fondly cherish his memory, we deeply sympathize with his family and relatives in their bereavement.
Resolved, That these expressions of our respect for his memory be entered upon the Records, and a copy be transmitted to the family of our deceased companion.

MEMORIAL SERVICES.
Part of the services on May 28, 1876, the Sunday before Memorial Day, attended by the Grand Army Post No. 34 of Salem, and held at the Barton Square Unitarian Church, was an address by the pastor the Rev. George Batchelor, now ( 1902) editor of the "Christian Register."
He chose for his text, Exodus xii. 14,-"This day shall be with you for a memorial," and in his discourse the sey- eral periods of Major Phillips' honorable career were clearly set forth, from his graduation from Harvard at the age of nineteen with the highest mathematical honors to his death.
972
HISTORY OF THE
With these words ends his brief but fervent eulogy :--
"His record may be summed up by saying that from Yorktown to Hatcher's Run, he was never absent when his battery was engaged, and he exposed himself fearlessly when the danger was most imminent, and wherever a soldier's duty and honor called."
On Memorial Day, 1877, in Salem, the address at Mechanics Hall was by the Rev. Henry W. Foote of Bos- ton, who, recalling to his hearers "the fair picture of the lives" of the soldiers of Salem who had "joined the great army of the dead," referred to Major Phillips and his brother Lieut. Edward W. Phillips of the 50th Mass. ( In- fantry ) who "as boys were full of glad promise .- as men did nobly for their country. .. . Edward, struck down in his bright youth by the effects of the war,-Charles, whose battery flamed on the heights of Malvern Hill, and through unnumbered battles besides. . . . No braver or more trusted officer served in the Army of the Potomac. Last year for the first time you laid flowers on his grave. . . . With us they live forever, as they live with God, in undying youth, immortal, with high incentive and proud rebuke to us, privileged to be household words of strength unto children's children."
I attended the Ninth reunion of the Battery Association at Young's Hotel, in Boston, on Wednesday evening. October 1. 1879, and was elected president of the Associa- tion. The vice-presidents were Captain Henry D. Scott of Newport. R. L., Captain F. A. Lull of Cambridge and Lieut. Mason W. Page of Taunton. Secretary John F. Murray of Cambridge. Treasurer George H. Leach of Boston. Relief Committee William Reynolds of Marble- head. Joseph Knox of Boston, Michael Hewitt of Newton.

of the Artillery Brigade Fifth Army Corps when the Fifth Battery was in it.
Benjamin Savery of Marblehead for many years said grace at the reunions, following which Joe Knox called the roll from memory. See p. 134.
The Eleventh Annual Reunion was held at Young's Hotel. Boston, Wednesday, Oct. 5. 1881. In the circular sent with the call for the meeting was an extract from the address of the Rev. George Batchelor at Salem. May 28, 1876, culogizing the career of Major Phillips and the Bat- tery.
Captain Lull, who was active in this matter, wrote Octo- ber 7th in returning papers obtained from the family, -- "I also enclose one of the circulars of the 11th Reunion. You will see that the one containing Mr. Batchelor's address was the one we wished to get. We bad a very successful re- union of the old 5th on Wednesday eve last at Young's Hotel. About 35 members were present. Our late Captain was spoken of by several members of the Battery, also by two or three guests that were present, in very feeling terms.
In fact Captain Phillips' name is revered by all the mem- bers of the old 5th, and is alluded to with heartfelt feelings by all the surviving members.
Very respectfully FREDERIC A. LULL."
In 1883. at the banquet at the Crawford House, Boston, I invited the members of the Battery to visit the Boston Foreign Exhibition of which I was a Director, the follow- ing day, which many did. The Exhibition at which the products of 52 countries were represented was held in the Mechanics Building.
In 1890, the meeting and banquet were held at Young's Hotel, Boston, August 12th, at the time of the National
