On the 10th of April, word came flashing over the wires, that Lee had surrendered the army of Virginia, at Appomattox, on the morning of the ninth. The rejoicing broke out anew. Flags were raised, sa- lutes were fired, and the bells were rung right merrily. On the follow- ing Sabbath, thanksgivings to the Lord of Hosts were offered up in all our churches.
SECTION 12 .- COST OF THE WAR.
The pecuniary cost of the war of freedom and nationality, to the peo- ple of Winchendon, is to be found by adding together the appropriations made by the town for war purposes, and for " aid" to the soldiers' fam- ilies ; the subscriptions of individuals to pay bounties, and furnish arms to the soldiers ; the gifts of societies and personal friends, to provide comforts for the men ; and the contributions to the Sanitary and the
503
HISTORY OF WINCHENDON.
Christian Commissions. Exactness cannot be attained in fixing the amount, but enough can be given to confer lasting honor upon the town.
The war expenses of the town are recorded, from year to year, in the annual reports of the Selectmen and Town Treasurer. Large bounties were paid to some of the soldiers. In some cases, these were raised by subscription ; but the town refunded the sums thus raised, to a great extent. Several thousand dollars were given to soldiers' families, year by year, called " State aid." As this was refunded by the State, some may hastily infer that the State aid cost nothing to the town. But the town was taxed, in common with all the towns and cities in the Com- monwealth, to raise the money by which the State aid was refunded to the towns. As Winchendon is about an average town, in the matter of taxation, the amount paid to soldiers' families was about equivalent to what was received from the State Treasury. It will be safe, there- fore, to give the amount paid out to families, by the town Treasurer, as the real expense of the town for that object. And in the matter of boun- ties, the sums voted in advance, are not to be taken, but the sums ac- tually paid, as given in the Treasurer's report. Each report was made at the March meeting, and related to the year closing on the last day of the preceding December.
The expense in 1861 was all for State aid, and amounted to $1,095.65.
The expenses of the year 1862, were as follows : Bounties to eighty- nine men, at $100 each man, 88,900.00 ; State aid, 84,707.60 ; Sun- dries, 8184.05. Amount for the year, $13,791.65.
Expenses of the year 1863 : Bounties for volunteers, 84,615.16 ; State aid, $6,341.56 ; Sundries, $83.12. Amount for the year, $11,- 039.84.
Expenses for the year 1864 : Bounties for volunteers, 87,250.00 ; State aid, $4,315.45 ; reimbursement of subscriptions, 84,100.00; Sundries, $360.17. Amount for 1864, $16,025.62.
Expenses in the year 1865 : State aid, 81,489.06 ; Sundries, 87.75. Besides this, there were nearly $300.00 of a subscription not refunded. Amount for the year, $1,796.81. The total amount during the war, was 843,749.12. To this must be added about 85,000 of another sub- scription, making the amount $48,749.12. The commutation money paid by twenty-four men, at one time, at 8300, each, amounted to $7,200.
The amount given by individuals to furnish arms to the soldiers, and as private bounties, can never be ascertained. Several of the first to
504

enlist, were provided with revolvers. Individuals, at different times, added to the bounties offered by the town, state or nation. As one . man,-Mr. Nelson D. White-gave not far from $300 in this way, it will be perfectly safe to set down the amount contributed for this pur- pose, as not less then $1000. The amount thus far is very near $56,- 949.12.
All the soldiers had personal friends and relatives, who sent aid in various forms. The aggregate was large ; but of this no record can be made, since there are no means of approximating to accuracy. More- over, the remains of many soldiers were brought home and buried, at great expense. Of this expense, no account can be rendered.
Many visited the army at various times, and never went empty-hand- ed. The sums contributed in this way were large, but there is no means of ascertaining the amount.
The young ladies in the North Congregational Church, the ladies in the Methodist Church, and the ladies in the Centre, and a Society of ladies in Waterville, of which, in successive years, Mrs. C. P. Carpen- ter and Mrs. Wm. L. Woodcock were Presidents, and Mrs. A. D. Hast- ings and Mrs. George Brooks, Secretary and Treasurer, did much to relieve the wants of their friends in the field. A Union Society of la- dies from different sections of the town, met often in the town hall, and by their labor, and the sums collected by them, and the avails of lec- tures, they gathered and remitted supplies of great value to the sol- diers, either directly, or through the Sanitary and Christian Commis- sions, or the Boston Tract Society. Of this Society, Mrs. Rev. B. F. Clarke and Mrs. Jacob Taylor were Presidents, Mrs. Elisha Murdock, Treasurer, and Mrs. William Brown, Secretary. The Vice Presidents were Mrs. O. Chamberlain, C. H. Marvin, Mary W. Godding, W. L. Woodcock, John Cutter, E. H. Townsend, George Brown, and O. Ma- son. There was a numerous list of Directresses and Collectors. The Society was very efficient. The meetings were always opened with prayer, either by a clergyman or by a member. The amount raised, and forwarded, estimated in money, was $1,079.39. The amount sent by the Waterville Society was not less than $150.00. From the Cen- tre came about $75.00. Total, $1,304.39.
In addition, collections were taken up in the North Congregational Church, on several occasions, not included in the above recital. Pass- ing over contributions for Kansas sufferers, in 1861, to the amount of
505
HISTORY OF WINCHENDON.
$50.89, and aid for the freedmen, at various times, amounting to $205 .- 25, this Church gave in 1862, $25.00 for aid of soldiers; in 1863, $45.25, through the Christian Commission, and $30.00 through the Tract Society ; in 1864, $90.00 through the Sanitary Commission, and through the Christian Commission, 8156.33 ; in 1865, 835.00 through the Sanitary Commission, and $70.68. The amount is $352.26.
In May, 1864, a meeting was held in the town hall, and a commit- `tee was chosen to " collect funds for the benefit of the soldiers from this town in the field, and for the Christian Commission." For the soldiers they collected $521.00, besides stores, and for the Commission, $98.50. Total. 8620.00. O. Mason, John H. Fairbank and H. E. Weston were chosen a sub-committee to disburse the fund. Mr. Weston was appoint- ed treasurer. Of this sum, $389.83 were given to soldiers in the field. or to aid their friends at home. The balance, 8230.17, is in the Savings Bank, and may be used as " aid" to soldiers, or for a monument.
The amount raised by the town and by subscription,
as bounties, state aid, &c., for war purposes was $55,949.12
Private bounties, not less than 1,000.00
Contributions by ladies' societies, citizens, churches, &c., 2,276.65
Total, $59,225.77.
SECTION 13 .- NUMBER OF SOLDIERS, CASUALTIES, &C.
The number of soldiers which Winchendon was required to furnish, through the war, was between three hundred and seventy and three hun- dred and eighty. The exact number, after inquiry in every quarter, cannot be ascertained. The number of men who went into the field, from this town, in Massachusetts regiments, and in the regular army, including volunteers and drafted men, was-very nearly-two hundred and fifty-five.
The number who re-enlisted, and were therefore counted twice, was about twenty.
The number of colored recruits, entered in the name of some citizen of Winchendon, was four.
The number who joined regiments of other states, some if not all of whom were counted in the quota of this town, was twenty-seven.
The number obtained through the intervention of brokers was forty-two. The number of Massachusetts men in the navy who were counted in
506
HISTORY OF WINCHENDON.
this town's quota, was about sixteen. The whole number is three hun- dred and eighty-eight.
In addition it should be said that Roswell M. Shurtleff, whose home was here almost up to the beginning of the war, was first lieutenant and adjutant in the Naval Brigade, known as the Ninety-ninth N. Y. Vols .; was wounded and captured while on scouting duty, near Bethel, Va., July 9, 1861 ; was returned on parole, Feb. 22, 1862, and was on du- ty at Camp Parole, Annapolis, more than a year.
Corporal Henry Eddy Chase, son of Mr. Archibald Chase, was in Battery G, Rhode Island Light Artillery. He was killed instantly, October 19, 1864, at the battle of Cedar Run, when Sheridan annihi- lated the forces of Early. A letter from his captain speaks of him in the highest terms as one who " performed his duty faithfully, and was loved by every one."
Edgar Pitkin, son of Mr. Harry Pitkin, was a native of this town, and was educated in our schools. At the outbreak of the war he was in a lawyer's office in Burlington, Vt., but he felt an irrepressible de- sire to enter the service. He first served as private in the three months volunteers ; he then received the appointment of adjutant in the First Regiment Vermont Cavalry, and under Gen. Banks, distinguished him- self at Orange C. H., Culpepper C. H., and at Winchester.
Being mustered out of service, he received a good clerkship in the · treasury office, at Washington, but his heart was in the field, and he enlisted in the Fifth U. S. Cavalry, declining to receive a commission through political influence, but determined to merit it. He served as serjeant during Gen. Grant's campaign in Va., where he was wounded in the ankle. He then took part in the brilliant career of Sheridan, in the Shenandoah Valley, where he received a severe wound in the groin. As soon as possible he hastened back to engage in active service but died suddenly, on the 19th of February, 1865, at Camp Remount, Pleasant Valley, Md. He had been recommended for promotion, and would soon have received a commission. He entered the service under the impulse of a noble patriotism, which ripened into christian heroism.
The following are the names of those who were wounded, arranged alphabetically, viz :
