211
THE CIVIL WAR-36TH MASS. INFANTRY
John Robinson, a Revolutionary soldier, who came from Northboro to Oakham in 1790 and settled on the farm now owned by his descendant, George W. Stone.
John B. Fairbank was from boyhood a fine scholar and an excellent writer and debater. When the Franklin Literary Society was organized, he was chosen its first President. Begin- ning in the fall of 1856, he pursued his studies at Monson Acad- emy, teaching in the public schools of Oakham each winter, and entered Middlebury College in September, 1860. A year later he left Middlebury and entered Amherst.
In 1862, at the end of Sophomore year, he left college to enlist in the 36th Mass. At the organization of the regiment, August II, 1862, he was made First Sergeant of Co. K. His ability soon attracted the attention of Colonel Bowman, who often said, "Fairbank is the best Orderly Sergeant in the regiment, and Co. K owes its efficiency more to him than to any other man"; but for nearly nine months he failed to receive the advancement which he deserved. May 2, 1863, he was promoted to Second Lieutenant; October 23, 1863, to First Lieutenant; May 13, 1864, to Captain.
In the engagement at Blue Springs, October 10, 1863, the regiment, following the retreating enemy, came to the crest of a hill and discovered a Confederate battery five or six hundred yards in front. Colonel Goodale had just given orders to fall back under the shelter of the hill, when a shell from the battery burst, wounding Colonel Goodale and breaking Lieutenant Fair- bank's sword into three pieces, but leaving him uninjured. As he picked up the pieces of the broken sword, a member of the company, perhaps thinking of the time when "They shall beat their swords into plowshares," said to him: "They have broken your sword into door-scrapers."
He was wounded in the battle at Campbell's Station, Novem- ber 16, 1863. In this engagement he wore the sword of Captain W. H. Hodgkins, who after the Vicksburg campaign had been sent to Massachusetts to bring back recruits. When Lieutenant Fairbank was taken from the field, this sword was left behind, the Confederates pressing so close that it was impossible to
212
SOLDIERS OF OAKHAM
go back and recover it. Mr. W. B. Twitty of Spartansburg, S. C., found the sword on the field after the battle, and has recently returned it to Captain Hodgkins, whose name was on the hilt.
Fairbank was in the Asylum Hospital at Knoxville ninety days, and not until several weeks after he was wounded were his family able to hear from him, as Knoxville was then besieged by General Longstreet. On his release from the hospital he went home for a short furlough, at the end of which he rejoined his regiment.
He distinguished himself in the assault on the redoubt at Petersburg, June 18, 1864. This was the most brilliant and successful engagement in which the 36th regiment ever had a part. The regiment had less than ninety men in the battle, and of these three were killed and sixteen wounded, three of them mortally. It was here that Sergeant Macomber seized the colors and bore them through the engagement, after the color bearer of the regiment had been wounded. Captain Hodgkins, in his description of the battle, said: "As the rebel commander was pulled over the breastworks as a prisoner, he shouted to his men: 'Stand firm; their right is all gone.' The enemy dis- covered the break in our line and commenced a sharp cross-fire upon the regiment. At this critical moment, Captain Smith, commanding the regiment, with wonderful presence of mind, turned toward the left and shouted at the top of his voice, 'Fair- bank, bring up your brigade!' at the same moment yelling, 'Charge!' The ruse had its desired effect, and before Lieutenant Fairbank could hurry his 'brigade' of eight men of Co. K from the left, the enemy wavered. Our men leaped the breast- works and captured all the defenders who did not take to their heels."* May 13, 1865, Fairbank was brevetted Major United States Volunteers, "for gallant and meritorious services in the assault on the enemy's lines near Petersburg, Va." On October 13, 1864, Fairbank wrote home: "Of the thirteen hundred men that we have had on our rolls, only four hundred and eighty are left, and of these only one hundred and sixty are fit for duty. Of

the eight officers that composed my mess, every one has been killed or wounded, and all the wounded severely, except myself." November 1, 1864, he was assigned to command of Co. E. He was the Senior Captain in the regiment, and during a portion of the months of October, 1864, and January, 1865, he was in command of the regiment in the absence of Lieutenant Colonel Barker. While in camp near Petersburg he served on Court Martial from the middle of November, 1864, to the middle of February, 1865.
After the war, Major Fairbank continued his studies, was graduated as Bachelor of Arts from Amherst College in 1867, and received the degree of Bachelor of Laws from Columbia Law School in 1869. He began legal practice in Winfield, Kansas, where he was appointed Deputy States Attorney for Cowley County. In 1875 he was called back to Massachusetts by his father's infirmities and age, and during the next six years resided in Oakham. Here he was honored by his fellow towns- men with the highest offices in their gift. He was Selectman, member of the School Committee, and twice represented the district in the Massachusetts Legislature. He wrote the history of Oakham for A. P. Marvin's "History of Worcester County," and was the founder of the Oakham Soldiers' Union.
In 1881 he went to the Black Hills, South Dakota, and located for a time in Deadwood, but soon removed to Portland, where he resided till his death. Here he practiced as a lawyer and dealt in mining properties. He took special interest in the local schools and in the Grand Army. In 1896 he was chosen Senator in the South Dakota Legislature, and was a prominent member of that body. He was President of the School Board in Port- land, and was nominated by his party for a position on the bench of the Supreme Court of the State, but was not elected.
He died in Portland, S. D., April 29, 1908, and was buried in Mount Moriah Cemetery. He was far from home and relatives, but school children attended his funeral in great numbers, and the church in which the exercises were held was filled with his friends. The Bar Association of Lawrence County, S. D., gave this testimony to his worth :
214
SOLDIERS OF OAKHAM
"The excellent qualities of his life, the charm of his character, his devo- tion to his country, and his disinterested labors of love and mercy, will long linger as an inspiration to brighter hopes, more laudable endeavor, and purer and higher purposes."
The Deadwood Pioneer Times referred feelingly to his many excellent qualities in its issue of May 2, 1908:
"He was a polished and scholarly gentleman, whose friendship was an honor and whose company a pleasure. The studies which he fol- lowed in his youth, he loved in his declining years, and his mind was stored with a wealth of interesting information on varied subjects. Those who knew him loved him for his manly qualities, his refinement and accomplishments. He was a man of learning and culture, a lover of literature, and an admirer of everything good and noble, a man who went among his fellows with a word of hope, comfort and encourage- ment, a welcome visitor wherever he went."
James A. George, a Confederate veteran, wrote :
"In public and private life he was ever the courteous and polished gentleman, so pleasant to meet. I never heard him say an unkind word about or to any person. He wore the blue and I wore the gray. Often in private and at soldiers' and sailors' reunions we have met and fought over the battles again, but never a harsh word was spoken. Far from his old home, old comrades have laid him to rest. Sleep on, kind and generous soul. May a loving Father comfort those aching hearts far from your resting place."
