AN ACCOUNT OF THE SERVICES OF DEDICATION OF THE SOLDIERS' MONUMENT.
ON the 17th of June, 1874, the monument erected in memory of the soldiers of Braintree who had died in service was dedicated with becoming formalities. Extended preparations had been made to give the occasion high distinction among the festival days of the town, and although occasional showers somewhat interfered with the full success of the arranged programme of services, yet in all respects the ceremonies were thoroughly impressive and enjoyable. The houses and grounds of citizens and the public buildings were elaborately decorated, and the principal streets were crowded with visitors, among the invited guests being His Excellency Governor Talbot and his council.
The arrangements of the procession were carried out creditably by Capt. James T. Stevens, the chief marshal of the day. The procession formed at the Town House at about nine o'clock in the forenoon, led by the organization of old soldiers of the town, Gen. Sylvanus Thayer Post, 87, Grand Army of the Republic, which was followed by visiting Posts from Randolph, Quincy, Weymouth, and South Boston, by several Masonic bodies, and by invited guests and prominent citizens in carriages. Marching through the main street of the town, it was dismissed at noon for dinner in a large tent raised on the Common, and in the Town House.
At two o'clock, r. M., the unveiling of the monument, which stands upon the town grounds, near the Town House and public library, was performed in the following order : -

READING OF THE REPORT OF THE SOLDIERS' MONUMENT COMMITTEE,
BY F. A. HOBART, AS FOLLOWS :
The committee appointed by the citizens, and subsequently authorized by the town, to erect a suitable memorial to the men of Braintree who died or were killed in service during the war of the Rebellion, having concluded their labors, respectfully submit their report.
Early in the year 1865, before peace had been declared and the war of the Rebellion ended, a meeting of the citizens of Braintree was held in the Town Hall, to devise measures to secure the erection of a suitable memo- rial to the soldiers, from the town, who died or were killed in service.
This meeting was very fully attended, and the unanimous expression of opinion was favorable to the object.
At this meeting a committee, consisting of Messrs. F. A. Hobart, Asa French, Horace Abercrombie, Levi W. Hobart, and E. W. Arnold, was appointed to take the matter into consideration, with instructions to take such preliminary action as they might deem advisable to secure the neces- sary funds for the erection of a monument. This committee, after con- sultation, finding that there was a general willingness on the part of all our people to do something in aid of the object, decided to hold a fair and levee at Town Hall, and invited the ladies to co-operate with them in making the necessary arrangements therefor.
To this invitation a ready and liberal response was made, and a fair sub- sequently held, the net proceeds of which realized a little upwards of thirteen hundred dollars ($1,300).
This sum was afterwards increased to about fourteen hundred dollars, by means of a musical entertainment given by the young folks. The fund thus raised was loaned by the committee to the town.
No further action was taken until March, 1867, when the matter was brought to the attention of the town by the committee, an article being inserted in the warrant, " to see if the town will make an appropriation in aid of the erection of a soldiers' monument, and authorize the committee to procure plans and estimates."
At that meeting the committee previously selected by the citizens was adopted by the town, and Jason G. Howard, Edward Avery, Alva Morrison, and Edward Potter added thereto. It was also voted, "that the Commit- tee on the Soldiers' Monument be authorized to procure plans and esti- mates, and report the result, for future action by the town."
Several meetings of the committee were subsequently held, but for vari- ous reasons no definite conclusions were reached.
On the 4th of March, 1872, the committee, feeling that it was time that some progress was made and something definite done, made a partial report to the town. The matter was fully discussed, but owing to a diver- sity of opinion manifest as to what form the memorial should take, no
49
course of action was adopted. At this meeting, however, it was voted, " That the town sell the lot of land adjoining the town lands, known as the School House Lot, at public ' auction, the proceeds of the sale to be appropriated to the use of the Soldiers' Monument Committee.
At the annual meeting, March 3, 1873, the subject was further discussed by the town, and the opinion generally expressed that the work should be completed at an early day. At this meeting James T. Stevens and Win. M. Richards were, by vote of the town, added to the committee to fill vacancies caused by the removal from town of Edward Potter and Jason G. Howard.
