October was engaged in a brave and victorious midnight assault upon a division of the enemy near the base of Look- out Mountain, at Wauhatchie. At the opening of Sherman's campaign against Atlanta, in the spring of 1864, the regi- ment was in Butterfield's third division of the 20th Corps, but had no engagement till the battle of Resaca, Ga., on Sunday, May 15, when it was ordered to assault the enemy's works upon a hill strongly protected by abattis and underbrush. Bumpus was temporarily in command of the color company, as first lieutenant, and while his command was in some slight confusion, owing to difficulties of manœuvring, he stepped before them with the encouragement, " Boys, stand by your colors !" and was almost immediately shot through the head. His age was twenty-four. His remains lie in the National
Cemetery at Chattanooga. The writer of this account fre- quently saw him in the spring of his death, and talked with him but a few hours before his last fight. He was uniformly in good spirits and imbued with a right patriotism. The ex- cellence of his standing in his regiment is testified to by the nature of the duties and honors so many times laid upon him. His loss was profoundly regretted in his regiment by men who had known his fidelity in many a trying responsi- bility, and was sorrowed over by many at home besides his kindred who remembered him as an earnest, generous, and high-minded young man.
TIMOTHY HORACE CAIN; son of Rhodes and Louisa (Hol- brook), joined Co. K of the 33d Infantry at the time of its formation, Aug. 8, 1862, and followed the career of that regiment through Virginia, at Gettysburg, at Lookout Moun- tain, at Resaca, and as far towards Atlanta as the battle of Dallas, on the 25th of May, 1864, where he was slightly wounded. Being sent to hospital at Louisville, Ky., he never returned to his company, but died a year later at Alex-
27
andria, Va., July 7, 1865, of chronic diarrhoea. Down to the time of his wound he was never reported absent, and always bore the reputation of a good soldier. His reported age at enlistment was twenty-one.
THIRTY-SIXTH INFANTRY.
DANIEL W. DEAN, at the age of nineteen, enlisted Aug. 8, 1862, in Co. K, 36th Infantry, and is reported to have died in the same year, probably from disease.
SETH DEAN, possibly a brother of the above, at the age of twenty-four enlisted in the same company, under the same date, and died at Windmill Point Hospital, Va., near Acquia Creek, Jan. 27, 1863. Concerning the identity and origin of these men, there is some uncertainty. A Seth Dean was in Co. A, 1st Battalion Heavy Artillery, and was discharged for disability July 20, 1862. Perhaps they were the same, though the records of age differ by ten years.
THIRTY-EIGHTH INFANTRY.
EDWARD DAVID, son of Lyman and Lavinia, of Venice, N. Y., was enrolled August 13, 1862, in Co. K of the 38th Infantry, and was killed June 14, 1863, at Port Hudson, La. His regiment was in the 19th Corps, Emery's Division, Gen- eral Banks's army. It was engaged in an affair with the enemy at Fort Bisland, in the Teche country, where it met with some loss, and was in the siege of Port Hudson. The bri- gade to which it belonged made an ineffectual assault upon some rebel works at the latter place, on the 14th of June,
28
and was compelled to lie under cover of bushes and earth- works until darkness should enable it to retreat. Edward, leaving his equipments, took a canteen to go to the rear for water, determined to run the risk for his pressing need, and was never again seen by his brother Solon, who was in the company with him. The Pioneer Corps described one like him who was shot through the head while going for water, and his fate was thus pretty conclusively established. His body was not recovered. Old associates remember him as a pleasant and amiable young man.
THIRTY-NINTH INFANTRY.
JAMES BANNON, born in Ireland, enlisted in Co. G, 39th Infantry, in August or September (Sept. 2, Adjutant-Gen- eral's records ), 1862, at the age of thirty-eight. The first battles of the regiment were in Grant's campaign of 1864, where its losses were small, until it reached Petersburg. Bannon was, however, slightly wounded in the battle of the Wilderness, but continued in the field. At the battle of Weldon Railroad, on the 19th of August, 1864, nearly the whole of the 39th was captured, and Bannon, among them, was taken to Salisbury Prison, where he remained six months, being released in February, 1865. The hardships of the prison wore greatly upon him, although the severity of the confinement was mitigated by his being assigned to duty in the hospital cook-house of the prison. His death, which occurred at his home in Braintree on the 27th of March, 1865, was accelerated by the prison experience, together with the accidental use of some poisonous medi- cine in the hospital after his release.

FORTY-SECOND INFANTRY (100 DAYS).
HENRY WINSLOW DEAN, son of Horatio and Melinda, was born in Braintree, May 4, 1832, and was in Co. C of the 4th Militia from April to July of 1861. July 19, 1864, he joined the company of one hundred days' men from Braintree, which was assigned to the 42d Regiment, and did duty in the fortifications of Washington. He died in Sickles's Bar- racks Hospital, Alexandria, of chronic diarrhea, Oct. 9, 1864. Although by no means strong at the time of his enlistment, he was eager to be with his old associates and do his part of the required service.
SECOND LOUISIANA (COLORED) INFANTRY.
EBENEZER COTTONTON THAYER, JR., son of Ebenezer C. and Sarah Jackson, at the age of twenty-four enlisted in Co. K of the 31st Massachusetts Infantry, under date of Jan. 29, 1862, and became a corporal. His regiment was in the Department of the Gulf, when General Butler gave him the warrant of sergeant-major of the 2d Louisiana Colored Infantry, in which he was subsequently commissioned as second lieutenant. He served in the siege of Port Hudson and in the Red River expedition, during the last part of which he was wounded in the left lung while, as acting adjutant, he was quelling a disturbance among some of his soldiers. He died from hemorrhage in the St. James Hospital at New Orleans on the 14th of April, 1864. After his body had laid embalmed in the undertaker's rooms for more than a year, it was sent North, and lies in the cemetery at Braintree. His familiar neighbors speak of him as a young man of uncommonly high character.

THIRD MARYLAND INFANTRY.
JOHN FINNIGAN, son of James and Catherine, was a mem- ber of Co. C, 4th Militia, from April to July 22, 1861. In February of 1862, persons representing themselves as re- cruiting officers for Maryland regiments persuaded thirty or forty men from Massachusetts to go with them to Maryland, and there left them to shift for themselves. Finnigan among these, with one or two other Braintree men, enrolled himself in the 3d Maryland Infantry, which eventually belonged to the 2d Brigade, 2d division of the 12th Corps. He died of chronic diarrhea in the regimental hospital of Acquia Land- ing, March 12, 1863, at the age of twenty. A letter from his captain (Charles G. Downs, Co. B) says he had been complaining for six months.
TWENTY-FIFTH NEW YORK INFANTRY.
THOMAS SMITH, corporal of Co. H, enlisted May 13, 1861, in this regiment, under Colonel James E. Kerrigan. He is reported to have been wounded in the affair of Hanover Court House, May 27, 1862, and to have died a few weeks later near Gaines' Mill, Virginia.
SEVENTIETH NEW YORK.
In the summer of 1861, when the general government was undecided concerning its powers of raising troops, and seemed little to appreciate the magnitude of the impending danger, the raising of more than six regiments was discour- aged in Massachusetts, despite Governor Andrew's vigorous
31
protest, so that some companies, already formed, received permission to join New York regiments. To one of these companies belonged three men from Braintree, two Bunkers and Parker, who were assigned to the so-called Mozart Bri- gade under Daniel Sickles, then being organized at Staten Island, New York.
LEVI BUNKER, son of Nahum and Irene, born Jan. 1, 1840, enlisted June 20, 1861, in Captain Bugbee's company, which became a part of Colonel Wm. Dwight Jr.'s regiment, the Seventieth New York, of Sickles's Brigade. He was guarding the Lower Potomac until May, of 1862, when he joined Mc- Clellan on the Peninsula, and on the 5th of that month was engaged in the severe battle of Williamsburgh, where he was taken prisoner. His confinement was short, but he had a taste of the hard treatment and low diet with which unhappy prisoners afterward became sadly familar, for he spoke of his food for the three days' march to Richmond as being a pint of meal each day, cooked in the ashes. When released he came home on furlough, and returned to join in the battle of Fredericksburg in December, 1862, and of Chancellorsville in May, 1863, where, through extreme exposure and exhaus- tion, he contracted the disease from which he died at Wash_ ington, June 16, 1863, at the age of twenty-three years. His body is in the soldiers' cemetery at Arlington Heights, Virginia.
EDWARD SILAS BUNKER, brother of Levi, born Oct. 13, 1844, enlisted July 13, 1861, in the same company and regiment. He lost his shoes in the mud, the night before Williamsburg, and so fought barefoot all day through the rain, and was wounded in the left arm and taken prisoner, his wound not being dressed for three days. This undue exposure and privation planted the seeds of the fever of
32
which he died at home, while on furlough, Sept. 11, 1862. He is buried in South Braintree.
ALFRED EMMONS PARKER, a cousin of the Bunkers, son of Thomas and Esther, born Oct. 21, 1842, enlisted July 15, 1861, in the same company and regiment with his cousins, and was mortally wounded on the 5th of May, 1862, at the battle of Williamsburg, in which his captain was killed and his colonel was dangerously wounded. His cousin was allowed to bear him to the rear, but soon left him, and the place of his burial is unknown.
These young men were all of excellent habits and character.
EIGHTH VERMONT INFANTRY.
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN ARNOLD, son of Benjamin and Re- becca, was born in Randolph, Mass., March 30, 1836, and enlisted from Randolph, Vt., where he was temporarily residing, in Co. F, of the 12th Vermont, a nine months' regiment. He was enrolled Oct. 4, 1862, and was mustered out July 21, 1863. In the following December (23), he enlisted in the 8th Vermont, a three years' regiment, and was mustered Jan. 6, 1864, and was with his regiment in the Gulf Department till its transfer to the Shenandoah Valley, with the 19th Corps, in the summer of 1864. On the march through Maryland he received a sunstroke, which kept him in the hospital at Baltimore a few weeks, but he rejoined the regiment in the valley, where he was taken prisoner on the morning of the battle of Cedar Creek, Oct. 19, 1864, while venturing on a foraging expedition too far into the enemy's lines. He died in Salisbury Prison, Dec. 29, 1864, one of that great company of martyrs who met the most cruel of deaths in the war.
33
SEVENTEENTH VERMONT.
NELSON ARNOLD, son of Benjamin and Rebecca, born in Randolph, Sept. 5, 1840, was also a resident of Randolph, Vt., when, with his brother, he joined the nine months' 12th Vermont Infantry, Co. F, Oct. 18, 1862. On the 29th of September, 1863, he was enrolled in Co. D, 17th Ver- mont, and entered the 9th Corps. His regiment was actively engaged with this corps of General Burnside's in the battles of 1864, under General Grant, losing steadily ; but Arnold is reported to have been uninjured down to the time when he was placed in the dangerous works before Petersburg, where, on the 19th of June, 1864, he was shot through the head by a sharp-shooter. He was buried in Virginia.
NAVY.
PAUL NADELL enlisted, at the age of thirty, in Co. C, 14th Mass. Infantry, on the 5th of July, 1861, and served credit- ably after its change to artillery. He re-enlisted as a veteran Feb. 1, 1864, and was discharged for transfer to the United States Navy on the 13th of April, 1864. He died in this arm of the service, at a date not ascertained. A lieutenant of his company of artillery praises him as having been a prompt and reliable soldier.
NOTE. - The name of Richard Furfy, 9th Infantry, appears upon the Soldiers' Monument as killed in battle. Furfy was not killed, though the printed register of the adjutant-general of Massachusetts so declares, but was only wounded in the battle of the Wilderness, in May, 1864, and was mustered out of service in Boston, June 21, 1864. These facts the writer had from Furfy's own lips.

APPENDIX I.
A LIST OF OFFICERS AND ENLISTED MEN OF UNITED STATES VOLUNTEERS FROM BRAINTREE, IN THE YEARS 1861 TO 1865.
THIS list is mainly drawn from the printed records of the Massachu- setts Adjutant-General's office, corrected by a record of the men accredited to the quota of the town, kept by Elias Hayward, Esq., formerly town clerk.
It cannot claim to be free from errors or omissions. Many names are variously spelled in the public registers, and not improbably some enlistments in regiments out of the State are unrecorded in either of the above-mentioned official lists.
The men of the three years' regiments are mentioned first, the - officers being placed in order of rank and seniority of commission; and where service has been performed in several commands, the names are repeated.
