Various measures were taken to aid the Recruiting Com- mittee in its efforts to procure men, with which to fill our different quotas. June 6, 1864, a Town Meeting was held at which it was voted:
That the Town of Melrose appropriate the sum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) for the purpose of procuring recruits for any future calls there may be made by the President of the United States for soldiers, and to make up any deficiencies that there is, or has occurred, in the last call for volunteers; and that the present Recruiting Com- mittee of the Town of Melrose proceed immediately to recruit or pro-

cure men in anticipation of the next call, or calls, that may be made by the President of the United States. And that the Selectmen be instructed to procure the bodies of all those of our citizen soldiers who have or may lose their lives in this war, and have them transported to their relatives or friends ;
and it was also voted:
That the Town Treasurer be instructed to borrow, from time to time, such sums of money as might be required of the amount appropriated.
The raising of money for this purpose, in this manner, was illegal, as the Legislature of Massachusetts had provided, by the act of March 16, 1864, that cities and towns might raise money by taxation, or otherwise, for the purpose of procuring volunteers, and pay to each one enlisted into the service as a part of the quota of said cities and towns, a sum not exceeding one hundred and twenty-five dollars ($125).
A petition was drawn up, signed by thirty-four citizens, and presented to the Supreme Judicial Court, asking for an injunc- tion on the proceedings at the above Town Meeting. Such an injunction was issued by Chief Justice George T. Bigelow, June 11, 1864. This was afterwards so far modified as to permit the paying of one hundred and twenty-five dollars ($125) by the Recruiting Committee, to each recruit enlisted and accepted by the United States authorities under any call of the President made between the first day of March, 1864, and the first day of March, 1865, as a part of the quota of the Town of Melrose under said calls.
At this time recruits for the army cost a larger sum than one hundred and twenty-five dollars ($125); therefore a citizens' meeting was called, to take into consideration the best manner of raising a sum of money, as a recruiting fund, to aid the committee in the furnishing of men for our quotas. It was decided to raise the same by subscription; and at a subsequent meeting the following gentlemen were appointed a committee to solicit subscriptions: Wingate P. Sargent, Daniel Norton, Jr., Levi S. Gould, Isaac Emerson, Jr., Thomas A. Long and Joseph D. Wilde. Mr. Sargent was appointed treasurer, and after the collections were made, nearly six thousand dollars ($6,000) the money was paid over to Colonel Clark, as chair- man of the Recruiting Committee. The names of the sub- scribers to this fund, and the amounts paid, are as follows:

With the above amount, so liberally contributed by our citizens, the recruiting committee was enabled to obtain all the men required to fill our several quotas, by adding to the amount paid to each recruit by the town-one hundred and twenty-five dollars, ($125) - whatever sum was necessary; the average cost of a recruit at this time, in addition to the State and United States bounty, being about two hundred and fifty dollars ($250).
Very few of our own citizens enlisted during the last year of the war, although quite a number that were already in the service re-enlisted; such re-enlistments counting on our quotas the same as new enlistments.
On the third and fourth drafts, there were no names drawn in Massachusetts, her quotas being more than full.
During the year 1864, an arrangement was made, by which any person liable to do military duty could, in anticipation of the draft then pending, furnish a substitute. Four of our citi- zens availed themselves of this privilege, paying for their sub- stitutes sums ranging from five hundred and seventy-five to seven hundred dollars. In this manner men were added to our forces in the field, and our quota was reduced to an equal extent. George Emerson, 2d, George W. Heath, James O. Lynde and Daniel W. Wilcox thus furnished substitutes.
During the latter part of this year, 1864, Massachusetts and some other loyal States sent recruiting agents into the rebel- lious States, at points occupied by our forces, for the purpose of enlisting colored volunteers, under the Act of Congress ap- proved July 4, 1864.
An arrangement was also made by which any person not liable to be drafted into the military service of the United States, by reason of age or disability, could deposit with the treasurer of the State in which such person resided, the sum of one hundred and twenty-five dollars ($125), and be assigned
233
MILITARY HISTORY.
one of the volunteers thus enlisted, such volunteer to be called a " Representative Recruit." The recruits thus obtained, and not assigned as "Representative Recruits," were apportioned among the various towns and cities of the Commonwealth for which the enlistments were made.
Three citizens of our town availed themselves of this privi- lege of putting into the service a "Representative Recruit," receiving from the State a certificate signed by the Governor, John A. Andrew, and Provost-Marshal Joseph M. Day, giving the names of the "sable volunteers" thus assigned them. The names of these three gentlemen were: David Fairbanks, Daniel Russell and Dexter Bryant.
In July, 1864, the Secretary of War made a requisition upon Massachusetts for five militia regiments, to serve for the period of one hundred days, during the time the re-enlisting troops were having their furloughs. These men were not to be credited to the quota of Massachusetts, but it was conceded that whoever should serve for this length of time should not be liable to the draft then pending. Twenty men enlisted from Melrose in four different regiments; the Fifth, Sixth, Eighth and the Sixtieth. During this same year Massachusetts sent into the field thirteen unattached companies of infantry, into one of which, the Seventh, Melrose sent seven men; also one man into the Sixty-first Regiment which was organized to serve for one year.
Melrose was also well represented in the naval service. July, 4, 1864, Congress passed an act allowing all men in the service to be credited on their proper quotas. Those whose place of residence could be ascertained were assigned to their several cities and towns. There were seven thousand six hundred and five (7,605) men whose places of residence could not be ascer- tained; and of these twenty-eight were assigned to the quota of Melrose; and thirteen of her own citizens served in the navy.
The whole number of men furnished by Melrose for the war, for the several terms of service, of all arms, including both army and navy, and including the eight (8) citizens who enlisted on other quotas, was four hundred and fifty-four (454). Of these twenty-one (21) enlisted men lost their lives; five (5) were killed on the battle-field, one ( I) was accidentally shot; thirteen (13) died of disease contracted in the service, and two (2) died in rebel prisons.
234
HISTORY OF MELROSE.
The number of commissioned officers furnished by Melrose was eighteen (18); two (2) of whom lost their lives, one (I) on the field of battle, and one (I) died of disease contracted in the service.
The following letter will show, taking into consideration the population and wealth of Melrose, that the town furnished a larger proportion of men for service during this Great Rebel- lion, than most other towns and cities:
PROVOST-MARSHAL'S OFFICE, 6TH DISTRICT, MASS., LAWRENCE, December 31, 1864.
This is to certify that, as appears by the records of this office, the surplus of the Town of Melrose, over all calls, is seventy-four (74) men. H. G. HERRICK,
Captain and Provost-Marshal, 6th Dist. Mass.
RELIEF OF SOLDIERS AND THEIR FAMILIES. In all the cities and towns of the Commonwealth, large contributions of money, clothing, and other articles, were being made during the entire period of the war. In many, in most of these cities and towns, there was one or more organized societies for the disbursement of these contributions. Melrose had no such regularly organized association, although much was done for the benefit of the soldier and his family by the town and by individuals. Of the unnumbered private donations of money, of boxes and packages of soldiers' necessities and luxuries, sent by patriotic mothers and sisters, who can fully estimate their value, or the benefit derived therefrom?
The generous sympathy and munificent gifts, not only of our own citizens, but of the entire people, for the soldiers and their cause, were wonderful. These gifts were
from every department of social, business and religious life; from every age, sex and condition of our community; by gifts, by toil, by skill and handiwork; out of the basket and the store, and out of the full hearts of the community, they have poured through countless channels of benevolence.
As an instance of this hearty generosity, only one of many; nine car-loads of hospital stores left Boston after the battles of Groveton, Second Bull Run and Chantilly, which ended the campaign under Major-General John Pope.
In addition to the appropriation of three thousand dollars ($3,000) appropriated at the first war Town Meeting, May 6,.
235
MILITARY HISTORY.
1861, an appropriation of twenty-five hundred dollars ($2,500) was made at the annual Town Meeting held in March, 1862, for the same purpose, to aid the families of volunteers, as pro- vided by Chapter 222, Statutes of 1861, wherein it was enacted that the State should reimburse the cities and towns, to a cer- tain amount per family, the sums thus paid; and regularly, at each annual Town Meeting, during the continuance of the war, a vote of similar import was unanimously passed.
Other votes passed by the town, for kindred purposes have been given in previous pages.
In July, 1862, at the solicitation of William F. Poole, a sub- scription of three hundred and forty dollars ($340) was made by the following gentlemen, for the
purpose of promoting recruiting in Melrose; for equalizing the boun- ties of those patriotic citizens who have already enlisted ; and for the benefit of the families which the quota from Melrose shall leave be- hind them :

This amount was disbursed, mostly in aid of the families of volunteers, by the treasurer of the fund, Andrew J. Morse.
Guiding Star Lodge, No. 28, I. O. of G. T., sent to the seat of war, on two different occasions during the years 1861 and 1862, a box and barrel of general hospital stores, blankets, reading matter, etc. At different times, a number of contribu- tions were taken up in our various churches in aid of those wonderful monuments of the free-will offerings of the loyal North, the "Christian" and "Sanitary Commissions."
The Orthodox Congregational Church sent three hundred thirty dollars and six cents ($330.06), besides eighty-five dol- lars and twenty cents ($85.20) contributed for the benefit of sick and wounded soldiers in the hospitals at Washington, which amount was sent to and distributed by Mrs. Gooch - wife of Hon. Daniel W. Gooch, then our Representative in Congress from this District-whose visits and kindnesses will long be remembered by many a soldier. The Universalist Church contributed fifty dollars ($50) to the "Sanitary Com- mission," besides sending several boxes of articles suitable
236
HISTORY OF MELROSE.
for the sick and disabled soldiers in Washington. These were sent to and distributed by Mrs. Emma Nichols Marden. The Methodist, Episcopal and Baptist Churches, also contributed generously to the same object, but no record was made of the amount. Eighty-seven dollars ($87) was paid into the treas- ury of the "Christian Commission," the proceeds of a concert given under the auspices of John H. B. Henderson.
During the first year of the war, many of our ladies met in Lyceum Hall, a number of days in succession, for the purpose of making and collecting garments and articles of all kinds suitable for the sick and wounded soldiers in our hospitals. A large collection of comforts and luxuries was thus made, forwarded and distributed.
Barrels, boxes and bundles of such necessary articles, in- cluding garments, hospital stores, reading matter, etc., were also collected at later times in the war by some of our public- spirited and patriotic ladies, and forwarded to either the "Christian " or "Sanitary Commissions."
The late Rev. John C. Ingalls spent the winters of 1861, '62 and '63, in Washington, D. C .; and on one occasion, during this time, he raised the sum of twelve hundred dollars ($1,200) in the cities of Philadelphia, New York, Boston and Portland, for the sick and wounded soldiers at the Emory Hospital in Washington. He also acted as chaplain of this hospital for a number of weeks, without pay, during the sickness of the regu- lar chaplain. Besides which, he raised the money for build- ing a chapel for the use of this same hospital.
Of the two hundred and three (203) Melrose citizens who served in the ranks of our army and navy during the Civil War,
who helped open the Mississippi, who were present at Vicksburg, Port Hudson, New Orleans and Mobile, who saw the starry flag as it ascended Missionary Ridge, and witnessed the flight of Bragg and his host; who marched from Atlanta to the sea, and who were among those who so long struggled between Washington and Richmond, and who at last saw the rebel flag go down upon the Appomattox,
twenty-three (23) of them, or about one in nine, were either killed on the battle-field or died in consequence of services rendered in the great contest. Six (6) were killed by the bullet on the field, and the rest died in camp, in hospital, in rebel prisons, or after returning to their homes.
237
MILITARY HISTORY.
Two (2) commissioned officers and twenty-one (21) enlisted men constitute the oblation made by Melrose to Treason!
