The records show that the Revolution brought heavy finan- cial burdens. Amid the difficulties always incident to a new settlement, the distresses and anxieties inseparable from war, and the constant loss arising from a depreciating currency, the little town, not forty years old and as yet numbering scarce seven hundred inhabitants, found it no easy matter to do what must be done in the way of furnishing and supporting troops.

The following records will show something of what was de- manded and done in the struggle for independence.
March 24th, 1777. " Voted a Committee of five men to Levy an Equal and Equitable Assessment on the Inhabitants of Holden towards raising men for three years or During the War"
" Voted Twenty Pounds to Each Man that shall inlist into the Continental Army for Three Years or dureing the War"
January 26th, 1878. " Allowed Six pounds for the Two Months Men to Providence
" Eleven pounds five shillings for Six weeks to Bennington
" Six pounds for one month to Fort Edward
" Twenty Four pounds for the five first Men that went to Provi- dence
"Samuel Heywood Jun to have 18 pounds & John Perry to have 14 pounds Micah Harrington to have 12 pounds
"Eighteen pounds for the Men that went to Still Water Three months
"one pound Ten Shillings for the Men that went to Hadly for one week "
June 2Ist, 1779, it was voted to raise five men for the Continental Army and to send twelve more to Rhode Island. October 20th, seven men were hired at $300 apiece. June 19th, 1780, ten men were called for at once. September 4th, the town was asked to supply clothing for the troops, and more than once afterward there stands on the town books record of the settlement for single articles of clothing, a shirt or a waist- coat, furnished for the soldiers. October 18th, the town voted to provide four thousand eight hundred pounds of beef. December 25th, 1780, there was a levy of nine more men to be met.
" Voted to give the men that Shall Engage to serve 3 years in the Continental Army 20 3 year olds or the Value thereof at the Expi- ration of Sd Term-and if Sd Men Serve but one year they shall have 20 yearlings & if 2 years 20 2 year olds Sd Cattle to be of middling Size."
This proposition, however, seems to have found no takers, but "three men agreed to go for Three Hundred & fifty

Dollars each in hard money." July 9th, 1781, more beef was called for. At the same time six soldiers must be sent to West Point and two to Rhode Island.

To the War of 1812 and the Mexican War, Holden sent few soldiers. The records of the United States Government show that Reuben Coombs, John Holman and Henry Lawrence served from August 30th to October 31st, 1815, in Captain Enos Goss' company of Lieutenant-Colonel Jonathan Page's Detached Massachusetts Militia at Fort Warren in Boston Harbor. Charles Paul, at one time a resident of Holden, is said to have served in the Mexican War and in Indian warfare before his enlistment in the War of the Rebellion.

The most of the militia service of Holden men was per- · formed in connection with a "Grenadier" company. Some years before the Centennial of the town,1 a company of "Light Infantry " was also organized, and the two flourished simulta- neously for some years. Both, however, ceased to exist not long after the Centennial. No record of the issue of any commission has been found later than June, 1842.
About fifteen years later, a " Rifle " company was organized The commissions of its first officers bear date, December 13th, 1856. By the promptness of their response to our country's call and the faithfulness of their service, the " Rifles " have become the peculiar glory of Holden. The term of enlist- ment of its members expired during the civil war, and it dis- banded.
The list of commissions in the Militia of Massachusetts issued to members of the " Rifle" company is as follows :
Bascom, George - Fourth Lieutenant, May 18th, 1861 ; Cap- tain, September Ist, 1862.
Damon, Augustus F .- Fourth Lieutenant, June 23d, 1860 ; First Lieutenant, December 13th, 1856; Captain, Au- gust 28th, 1858.
