HISTORY OF TOWN OF WELLESLEY
In 1802 the town paid for its share in a parade at Walpole. July 20, 1812, the town voted that those soldiers called out in May should be paid, if in actual service.
In 1815, the town voted that seven dollars a month should be paid to soldiers who were detached in 1814.
The town maintained a powder house, and owned and distributed ammunition for several years; but finally voted to sell the house.
There were very few in actual service during the War of 1812, and as they were scattered through various companies it is very hard to trace them.
Sept. 22, 1814, a Company of Exempts was organized with a constitution carefully drawn up, in which they declared their al- legiance to their country and desire to aid her whenever neces- sary. They went with the two militia companies organized about 1798 to listen to religious exhortation by Stephen Palmer Nov. 17, 1814, at the East Meeting House. Daniel Ware was captain, Major Ebenezer McIntosh was lieutenant, Lieut. Moses Garfield was en- sign, the chaplains were the Rev. Stephen Townsend and the Rev. Thomas Noyes, and the surgeon Dr. Isaac Morrill. There were over sixty members of the company. On the day of the religious services the two militia companies, the East being captained by Elisha Lyon, and the West by Jonathan Fuller, paraded and then were joined by the company of exempts who showed an excellent training and spirit. "Captain Fuller's company carried an elegant standard which had been presented by the ladies of the West Parish."
The history of the town during the Civil War is the history of the nation itself-the rising of the younger generation who joined the new party often against the wishes and even commands of their elders. The great number of men who enlisted and won honor and glory, and met bravely sickness, imprisonment and death during those four years of horror, testify to the patriotism and loyalty of the northern blood equalled only by the southern devotion to their own viewpoint.
The Mcclellan riot in Maugus Hall stands out as unparalleled in the history of the town, (For brief description see page 81.)
In 1851 the town of Needham put itself on record as opposing the fugitive slave law and in 1854 as against the Nebraska bill.
In 1851 and for subsequent years up to the Civil War, a list of the soldiers in the town was recorded. The number the first year was 258, and the average was about the same.
From year to year throughout the war, bounties were granted to all men who enlisted, and state aid was given to their families. After the war the town voted that a G. A. R. Post be established and that land be given by the town for that purpose.
The Memorial Day address given by Samuel B. Noyes of Milton, May 30, 1872, at Needham Plain follows:
"Some here today may remember the thrill of patriotism which stirred you when, at the first town meeting held in Needham to consider matters relating to the War of the Rebellion, on the 29th of April, 1861, one common purpose seemed to inspire the people.

WELLESLEY IN THE WARS
A military committee of four persons was chosen to 'take the gen- eral supervision in all matters of detail in relation to forming a company in the town, procuring volunteers, providing for the com- fort of the soldiers' families and other necessary matters;' and for these purposes this committee were authorized to draw upon the treasury of the town to the aggregate amount of two thousand dol- lars. The gentlemen chosen as this committee were E. K. Whittaker, C. B. Patten, Benjamin G. Kimball, and Calvin Perry.
Eight thousand dollars were appropriated as a war fund, from which the Selectmen were authorized to draw money to carry out the votes of the town. The Selectmen of the town during the years 1861, 1862, 1863, 1864 and 1865 were Galen Orr, Silas G. Williams, Augustus Stevens. The Town Clerk and Town Treasurer during the same years was Solomon Flagg.
1862, July 24th, Voted to pay a bounty of two hundred dollars to each volunteer who enlists for three years, and is mustered in and credited to the quota of the town; and the treasurer was author- ized to borrow six thousand six hundred dollars to pay the same. August 21st, the same amount of bounty was authorized to be paid to each volunteer for nine months' service, provided that 'the whole quota shall be raised previous to the expiration of the time given to raise the men.' (This proviso was reconsidered at the next meeting.) The treasurer, under the direction of the Selectmen, was authorized to borrow a sufficient amount to pay said bounties. Sep- tember 16th, full power was given to the Selectmen to fill the quota of the town 'in such a way as they may deem best.' State aid was voted to soldiers' families.
1863, March 2nd. Voted, to pay one hundred dollars to all volunteers belonging to that town who had not already been paid a bounty, either by Needham or any other place; also, to the legal heirs of those who have died, and an additional one hundred dollars where the deceased soldier 'leaves a wife or any children under twelve years of age.'
1864, April 14th, Voted to raise two thousand eight hundred and seventy-five dollars to refund money advanced by individuals for recruiting purposes, and two thousand two hundred and fifty dol- lars were appropriated for bounties. August 4th, the bounty to each volunteer enlisting for three years to the credit of the town was fixed at one hundred and twenty-five dollars, and so continued to the end of the war.
1865, May 22nd, The Selectmen were authorized to borrow a sufficient amount of money to reimburse citizens who had advanced money to aid recruiting.
Needham furnished two hundred and eighty-two men for the war, which was a surplus of twenty-three over and above all de- mands. Four were commissioned officers. The whole amount of money appropriated and expended by the town on account of the war was thirty-one thousand eight hundred and twelve dollars and thirty-two cents.
The amount of money raised and expended during the war for

HISTORY OF TOWN OF WELLESLEY
State aid to soldiers' families, and refunded by the Commonwealth, was as follows :- In 1861, $496.81; in 1862, $2,865.37; in 1863, $4,- 276.30; in 1864, $3,208.16; in 1865, $2,000.00. Total amount, $12,846.64.
The ladies of Needham furnished many comfortable garments for the soldiers, and labored in their behalf during the entire period of the war.
These facts and figures, which I have collated from Gen. Schouler's invaluable book, 'Massachusetts in the Rebellion,' are, in themselves a sufficient eulogy on the patriotism of this little town, whose population in 1865 was but 2,793, and whose valuation in the same year, 1865, was but $1,798,498. But Needham was not alone in patriotic deeds. All over the State, all over New England, and over all the free Northern States of the Union, the people were animated, inspired, by one common impulse of patriotism. The issue was to be decided by the ordeal of war whether the United States were a Nation or a collection of independent political com- munities.
You remember with what alacrity the young men from Welles- ley and Grantville and Needham Plain responded to the call. Mr. Whittaker writes to me from Washington, May 6th, 1872, that the movement was very actively seconded by the young men of Grant- ville, Wellesley and Needham Plain, while the neighboring villages of South Natick and Newton Lower Falls were represented in a company which he with Mr. D. D. Dana (Treasurer of the Douglass Axe Company) and Mr. Patten (of the Suffolk Bank of Boston) resi- dents of Grantville, were appointed a committee to form. 'The usual drill practice previous to mustering into the service was vigor- ously followed up; but,' he writes, "to my associates on the com- mittee much more than to myself belongs the credit of personal attendance upon these drills which took place at these villages alter- nately." This Company was finally withdrawn from Needham and merged in the more extended musterings of the larger towns in the county."
John Monaghan and Patrick Walsh enlisted in the thirty-fifth Massachusetts, Monaghan serving from '62 until he was taken pris- oner in '64, in which condition he remained until the end of the war. Walsh was a British marine who was of great service in training re- cruits. He was killed at Antietam and was said to be one of the bravest soldiers who went from Wellesley.
The following is a list of men from Needham who offered them- selves for a nine months' service :

1 Rev. Stephen Palmer in his Century Sermon on Nov. 16, 1811, said "that was a melancholy circumstance attending the slain, they left five widows and nearly thirty fatherless children to mourn their loss." It has been said that Needham suffered more on that day -- Lexington excepted- than any other town in the State.
2 In 1843 West Needham like other towns in the vicinity during that period celebrated Cornwallis Day by a sham battle and the siege and sur- render at Yorktown. The affair took place on the vacant land now in- cluding Elm, Crotin and Pine Streets, Wellesley Hills. Gen. Charles Rice was Lord Cornwallis and Warren Dewing, General Washington.
The following is a copy of a handbill in possession of the Rice family, and loaned by Mr. Frederick C. Leslie:
CORNWALLIS
The Celebration of the Surrender of Cornwallis will take place at Needham on Thursday, (19th inst.).
Troops of Volunteer Companies belonging to the town, and from the neighboring towns, amounting together to about 1,000 will be present.
The line will be formed near the Depot, at 10 o'clock, precisely; go through a few evolutions, and form a hollow square, when an ADDRESS, appropriate to the occasion, will be delivered by

The next day the Evening Transcript had the following which had been copied from the Post.
THE CORNWALLIS SHAM FIGHT
The contemplated military spectacle of a sham fight came off at Need- ham yesterday in grand style. The weather cleared off beautifully about 1.00 o'clock and full 500 volunteers assembled on the field. The British (for the day) were commanded by Gen. Rice, and the Americans by Col. Dewing. There were companies from Brighton, Dedham, Needham, and Natick. Col. Johnson and suite, consisting of Col. Macomber, Col. Hol- brook, and Col. Mitchell came on to the ground in a barouche, and Col. Johnson was eloquently addressed by E. K. Whitaker, Esq., chairman of the committee of arrangements appointed to welcome him. He was also addressed on the part of the military, by N. P. Banks, Esq., and to whom he replied with great feeling and simplicity of manner, and he was evi- dently much affected by the warm reception he met with. During the sham fight, a spectator had his arm broken in a scuffle, and this was the only accident or unpleasant occurrence on the battlefield.
A program for July 4, 1859, reads: "The anniversary of the Declara- tion of Independence will be celebrated at the North District School House by permission of the school committee in the following manner. Marshall of the Day, Mr. C. B. Patten. Order of Exercises, I Prayer, II Reading of Declaration of Independence by Mr. I. I. Leslie, III Music by the children of the School; Song and chorus in which all are requested to join-'O Columbia the Gem of the Ocean' (3 stanzas). IV Oration by Rev. E. S. Atwood. V Pocm prepared for the occasion by Mr. J. L. Fairbanks. VI Music. Song and chorus in which all are requested to join. My country, 'tis of thee' (4 stanzas). To commence at 5 o'clock p. M.
Fireworks will be displayed from Meeting House Hill by consent of Gen. Charles Rice, near the corner of Rice's Crossing Road as soon after dark as possible."
In March, 1875, the town chose a committee consisting of Warren Dewing, Solomon Flagg and George K. Daniell to arrange in reference to the centennial celebration at Lexington and Concord. The Needham dele- gation was in the eighth division of the Lexington celebration, Gen. Wil- liam Coggswill. chief. The delegation was mounted, under Joseph E. Fiske, marshall. There were one hundred men, attended by the Needham Band and the Highlandville Cornet Band. Post 21 G. A. R. sent thirty men. Gov. Gaston and Chief Justice Gray were among the speakers.
OLD FAMILIES
The historical associations with the name of Wellesley are numerous and interesting, and embrace the most important events in American history. Andrew Dewing, probably the first settler in the town, was the ancestor of soldiers in the Revolution and the Civil War.
The Fullers, always one of the most influential families of the place, claim their origin from Thomas Fuller (a member of whose
50
OLD FAMILIES
family early built a house near the town line), a representative to the General Court as early as 1686, whose son was wounded in the Narraganset War, and whose descendants were conspicuous in the earlier and later wars and in civil life,-William and Henry A. serving in the war of the Rebellion.
The Wares, another well-known family, have always had their representatives in church, town and military matters, one of whom left a very valuable journal of his journey to Quebec under Arnold in 1776.
The Kingsburys, descendants of Joseph Kingsbury of Dedham, furnished one of their number as captain of a company which fought at the battle of Lexington, and a noble child of the house, William H., died in the Civil War, while Dexter held town offices for many years.
The Mills, one of whom was killed (and the only one living within the limits of Wellesley who was killed) in the Lexington fight, and the Smiths freely represented in the Revolutionary and Rebellion contests :- Daniel, the first deacon of the West Needham Church, represented in all places of honor and works, with a female ancestor captured and scalped by the Indians, and the last with us well-known as moderator and assessor; the Flaggs, synonym for town office; Fiskes, residents of the Leg and builders of some of our old homes, Emery serving as delegate to the convention for revising the Constitution of Massachusetts in 1853, Joseph E., the last in the male line, for many years selectman, school committee and mod- erator, captain of artillery in the Civil War; the Stevens, faithful and true, one of whom, Elbridge, died in Libby Prison at Richmond; the Slacks, owners of an immense tract of land in the lower part of the town, the last generation represented by Capt. C. B. Slack in the war of the Rebellion; the Lyons, eminent as manufacturers and farmers, with two of the family on the muster roll of the Forty- fourth Massachusetts Regiment; the Huntings, descendants of John Hunting, the first elder of the Dedham Church, three of the last generation in the Civil War,-Willard dying in prison; all these have done their share in honest, faithful work to enhance the repu- tation of their town and make the world better for having lived in it.
In St. Mary's churchyard, at Newton Lower Falls, are buried members of the Lyon, Pratt, Daniel, Rice, Hoogs families. In Needham Cemetery, clustered around their minister, waiting for the call for the last congregation lie the Slacks, Daniels, Wares, Kings- burys, Fullers.
In Wellesley Village are still gravestones of the Noyes, Smith, Stevens, Fuller, Kingsbury families.1
Of later names, though none natives of the place, but of whom the town has good cause to be proud are those known beyond our limits, in literary, artistic and scientific circles.
Among them should be mentioned Isaac Sprague of the past generation (1811-1890), the illustrator of Grey's Botany, a friend and collaborator of Audubon.
