THE GREAT CIVIL WAR.
the great struggle for right is hardly equalled in the history of the war.
Archibald McKendry, his lieutenant, possessed the same brave and noble spirit that inspired the leader and his command. He, too, was in some measure connected with one of our religious societies, and, with his chivalric commander, reflects honor upon our town.
W. O. V. Rockwood.
He enlisted in Co. E, 7th Regt., Mass. Vols., June 15, 1861, and died March 3, 1862, at Brightwood, D.C.
John Scaff.
He enlisted in Co. E, 7th Regt., Mass. Vols., Jan. 16, 1861, and died Oct. 19, 1862, at Washington.
Charles H. Thayer.
He was born in Randolph, but removed to Milton in early life, and entered the service of Mr. Samuel Adams, where he remained until twenty-one years of age. At the commencement of the war he enlisted in Co. A, 29th Regt., Mass. Vols., and was discharged for disability May 21, 1861. He reënlisted in the 38th Regt., Mass. Vols., Aug. 21, 1862. He was with the regiment through the Teche campaign, and was engaged in the battle of Bisland. In the early part of the first attack upon Port Hudson, when engaged near Sandy Creek, he was instantly killed, and was buried by his Milton comrades at Port Hudson, May 25, 1863.
Lieut. George W. Thacher.
George W. Thacher was born June 16, 1837. He was the only son of the late George M. Thacher, of Boston, grandson of the late Peter O. Thacher, great-grandson of Dr. Peter Thacher, of Brattle-street Church, and great-great-grandson of the second Oxenbridge Thacher, who was grandson of Rev. Peter Thacher, the first pastor of Milton.
He was anxious to take part in the war in the beginning of the struggle, when the 45th Regiment was formed from the Cadet Company of which he was a member; but he resigned his own wishes to the entreaties of his mother at that time. Being the only son of a widow, he was exempted by law from serving in the army ; he afterwards volunteered to join Captain Ware's company in the old 6th Regiment, and at Fort Delaware, Sept. 13, 1864, he laid down his life in the service of his country.
454
HISTORY OF MILTON.
No more heroic spirit than his was quenched in the war of the rebellion. The chaplain of the regiment writes : "He was anxious to live, but willing to die; he had thought much of death, and had no fear of it."
T. David Vase,
of Milton, enlisted in Co. M, 1st Mass. Cavalry, Dec. 26, 1861. He died at Edisco, S.C., June 1, 1862.
George Ellis Vose.
He was born in Milton, Aug. 23, 1842, and received his edu- cation in our schools. Though of somewhat feeble constitution, and unable to endure exposure, he forgot himself in the peril of his country, and heartily joined the patriot bands rallying for her defence. He enlisted in Co. I, 38th Regt., Mass. Vols., Aug. 21, 1862. While yet in camp at Lynnfield he contracted a cold from which he never fully recovered. He moved with the regi- ment to Baltimore, and remained there until marching orders were received and they broke camp to embark for New Orleans. Then he was left behind at Stewart's hospital, and soon being discharged for disability, was brought to his home in Milton, where he died,, Jan. 12, 1863.
The commanding officer of his company thus writes to his parents : -
I have heard with sorrow of the death of your son George ; you have the sympathy of myself and of the men under my command in this your great affliction. Your son was a young man of excellent disposition and of great force of moral character, beloved and respected by all with whom he came in contact. Please accept this as a token of the respect which the officers and men have for him who was once their friend and comrade.
While in hospital at Baltimore he was frequently visited with great kindness by Mr. Nathaniel Morison, kindred of our beloved and honored citizen, and also by several kind and sympathizing ladies of Baltimore, ministering spirits so often sent forth to minister to our lonely, sick, and dying soldiers.
Lieut. Huntington Frothingham Wolcott,
in honor of whom is named the Milton Post of the Grand Army of the Republic. He was born in Boston, Feb. 4, 1846, and removed to Milton in 1850; he received from Gov- ernor Andrew, in October, 1864, the commission of lieutenant in the 2d Regt., Mass. Vol. Cav .; was in camp at Readville

THE GREAT CIVIL WAR.
for a brief period, and joined the regiment, February 22, in the valley of the Shenandoah, under Sheridan's command. He was with Sheridan in the brilliant closing campaign south of Rich- mond, and in his short soldier's life saw much more of active service than many who had served through the whole war. General Sheridan's cavalry, sweeping by forced marches to the south of Lee's army, and thus cutting off his retreat, com- pelled his surrender to General Grant, who was in pursuit. During this period Lieutenant Wolcott was attached as aid to Brigadier-General, afterwards Major-General, Gibbs, and was honored and respected, as well as warmly beloved, by every member of the staff. His calmness under fire and gallantry in action were especially noticed in the report of the battle of Five Forks. In the battles of Dinwiddie Court House and Clover Hill he was in the thick of the fight, and showed the coolness and resource of a veteran.
After taking part in the general engagements of the campaign in which General Sheridan's main army played so brilliant a part, and in many skirmishes in which the aids were called upon to perform arduous and dangerous duty, the campaign against Lee's army was terminated by the surrender of General Lee.
The hope of a brief leave of absence after the exhausting labors and constant fighting of weeks was disappointed by the order for General Sheridan's cavalry to proceed at once by forced marches into North Carolina, there to cooperate with Sherman's army against the rebel General Johnston. Surrender having closed this campaign also, the troops were ordered to Washing- ton, there to take part in the grand parade before being mustered out of service. Immediately after the grand review at Washington, in which Lieutenant Wolcott's manly bearing and fine horsemanship were noticed by many, the malarial fever, the seeds of which had been working in his system since the terrible exposure in the Southern swamps, manifested itself, and he was brought to his Milton home to die. Thus closed a brief, but singularly sweet and noble, life, on June 9, 1865, - an har- monious, rounded, and completed life, however short. His pure, high, and generous nature recognized but one law. His devotion to duty was absolute, and his conception of duty was noble and chivalric. This resolute loyalty to the right, this manly, Christian integrity, won the respect of all who knew him ; while the play of his mind, the qualities of gentleness and sweetness existing in an unusual degree in his character, with his quick, warm sympathy, made him universally beloved. He died for his country, in defence of liberty and the right, no less because he fell not on the battle-field.
456
HISTORY OF MILTON.
All these departed ones now belong to the great army of sacrifice, - pure, high-minded, devoted, patriotic youth; part of the "great cloud of witnesses" who keep watch and ward about their beloved country, and have a right to demand purity and truth from the land for which they died.
It is highly fitting to close this memorial record with the illustrious name of one who may justly be classed among the Milton soldiers.
Maj .- Gen. Edwin Vose Sumner.
One of our grandest military heroes. He was the son of Elisha and Nancy [Vose] Sumner, and grandson of Gen. Joseph Vose. His parents, grandparents, and early ancestors were natives of Milton, and passed their lives here. For two or three years his parents lived in Boston, where General Sumner was born. They soon returned to their native town, and took up their residence at the homestead of Seth Sumner, the father of Elisha, on Canton avenue, in the house known as the Kendall house, now owned by Henry A. Whitney. Here General Sumner passed his infancy, childhood, and youth. He attended the West School, and afterwards studied at Milton Academy; his early years are, therefore, identified with this town. He entered the army in 1819; served with distinction in the Black Hawk War; afterwards was in the same regiment with General Jackson. Still later he served under General Scott, and commanded the famous cavalry charge at Cerro Gordo. In 1858 he was made commander of the Department of the West, and in 1861 was selected by General Scott to accompany President Lincoln from Springfield to Washington. He per- formed a conspicuous part in many great battles in the late war, and was several times wounded. He was made major-general of volunteers, and brevet major-general in the regular army. After the battle of Fredericksburg he received orders to succeed General Curtis in command of the Department of the West. On Saturday, the 14th, just a week before his death, he left Washington for Syracuse to spend a few days at home before starting for head-quarters at St. Louis. He died in Syracuse, March 21, 1863. A true patriot, a lover of freedom, a gallant soldier, and a GREAT GENERAL.
" The muffled drum's sad roll has beat The soldier's last tattoo : No more on life's parade shall meet That brave and fallen few.

THE GREAT CIVIL WAR.
" The neighing troop, the flashing blade, The bugle's stirring blast, The charge, the dreadful cannonade, The din and shout are past.
" On fame's eternal camping-ground Their silent tents are spread, And glory guards with solemn round The bivouac of the dead."
THEODORE O'HARA.
RECORD OF SOLDIERS LYING IN MILTON CEMETERY WHO HAVE DIED SINCE THE WAR.
The roll of names next recorded represents those honored soldiers who survived the perils of the war, and entered again on the pursuits of life, but only to continue for a brief period ; the end in many cases being hastened from wounds received in battle, or from disease contracted in a Southern clime. These, too, passed through equal sacrifices and dangers, and are equally worthy of grateful and perpetual remembrance.
