REPORT ON SOLDIERS' MONUMENT.
As early as' 1865, the closing year of the war, the " Ladies' Soldiers' Aid Society" of this town donated five hundred dollars towards the erection of a monument to per- petuate the memory of our fallen soldiers. This money was placed in the hands of Mr. John Field, who acted as treasurer of the fund.
On Oct. 21, of the same year, a public meeting of cit- izens was held in the town hall, to adopt measures for carry- ing forward the work towards which the ladies had so liberally contributed.
Addresses were made by John Field, William E. Par- menter, John Schouler, Joseph S. Potter, Rev. Wm. E. Gibbs and others, earnestly commending the object, and a committee of fifteen gentlemen was chosen to procure the erection of a suitable monument.
John Field, Samuel Butterfield, James C. Converse, George H. Gray, John Schouler, John P. Wyman, Timothy Eaton, William E. Parmenter, Benjamin Poland, Addison Hill, Addison Gage, Samuel S. Davis, Joseph S. Potter, Josiah Crosby and Cyrus H. Cutter, constituted said committee. Subsequently at a meeting of the committee Albert Winn was chosen in place of Mr. Converse. John Field was elected chairman, and George Y. Wellington clerk of the meeting and committee.
Mr. Wellington kept a full record of this meeting, and of the transactions of the committee, which record is now in the possession of the town.
The committee went actively to work to procure volun- tary subscriptions from citizens, with a view of asking the town to make an appropriation of such additional sums as might be required to complete the structure.
They received designs of monuments from different archi- tects and decided upon one of granite, forty feet in height ; but learning that the cost of building at that time, would be
151
REPORT ON SOLDIERS' MONUMENT.
largely in excess of their expectations, finally concluded to defer the erection to a later period. Subscriptions to the . amount of about twelve hundred dollars had been promised the committee, one hundred and one dollars only of which had been collected ; but, on account of the postponement of the work, no further collections were made. The sums paid were as follows : by James C. Converse $50.00; by William J. Niles $25.00; by J. Winslow Peirce $5.00; by Jesse Bacon $5.00; Stephen Swan. $5.00; by Stephen Symmes $4.00; by Dudley H. Tufts $3.00; by Edmund G. East- man $1.00 ; by Howard W. Hill $3.00; a total of $101.00. To this sum was added by Joseph S. Potter $22.50, and by. Francis A. Harris $65.00, each amount being the net proceeds of entertainments gotten up with a view of contributing to the monument fund, making in all $188.50. This money also was placed in the hands of Mr. Field, who deposited the same, less $7.38 expense account, and the $500.00 received from the " Ladies Soldiers' Aid Society," with $6.25 interest added, in the Savings Bank in the following manner :
Jan. 13, 1866, $130.00
March 2, 1867, 506.25
July 6,
51.12
A total of $687.37 which constituted what was called the " Soldiers' Monument Fund."
The account above stated appears in a memorandum made by Mr. John Field, in a book now in the possession of his son and executor Mr. Wm. E. Field.
At a town meeting held April 5, 1869, under Article 21 of the warrant, " To see if the town will take any action or make an appropriation for a monument, etc., etc.," upon motion of William E. Parmenter, it was voted that the whole subject be left to a committee of three, to be appointed by
152
REPORT ON SOLDIERS' MONUMENT.
the moderator., John Field, Benjamin Poland and Samuel G. Damon were appointed said committee.
This committee reported at the town meeting held Nov. 2, of the same year, in favor of building a monument and in said report gave an account of the fund held in the Savings Bank for this object, and advised an appropriation by the town, of a sum not to exceed four thousand dollars for the purpose. On motion of John Osborn, four thousand dollars was appropriated. Samuel G. Damon, John Field, Benjamin Poland, William E. Parmenter, Francis Gould, Samuel Butterfield, Joseph S. Potter and Cyrus H. Cutter, were appointed a committee to carry out the vote of the town.
This committee entered upon its work and in addition to the town appropriation and the "Monument Fund," received the pledge of contributions from citizens of about two thou- sand dollars ; but no part of these subscriptions were collected, because it became evident to the committee, that a satis- factory site whereon to place the monument, could not then be secured and the building thereof was again postponed. The appropriation of four thousand dollars not being used, reverted to the town treasury ; but the committee, by its chairman, reported at each subsequent annual town meeting and was allowed further time.
The necessary steps for placing the "Soldiers' Monument Fund" legally in the possession of the town were taken by William G. Peck, and at the town meeting held March 5, 1883, under Article 25 of the warrant. the town accepted the Fund, still remaining in the Savings Bank, which then, with accumulated interest, amounting to $1665.62 to be held in trust by the town, as the "Soldiers' Memorial Fund," "for the erection of a monument, or providing other suitable memorial in honor of the patriotism of those citizens of said town who lost their lives in military service in the War of the Rebellion."
.
153
REPORT ON SOLDIERS' MONUMENT.
At the town meeting held March 10, 1885, under Article 31 of the warrant, upon the recommendation contained in the report of the Chairman of the Monument Committee, the town appropriated two thousand five hundred dollars, with, and in addition to the "Soldiers' Memorial Fund," then amounting to about eighteen hundred dollars, for the purpose of building a monument and appointed the present commit- tee to erect the same. '
This committee found some difficulty in selecting a location for the Memorial generally satisfactory to the citizens of the town, but after considerable delay, the site at the junction of Arlington avenue and Broadway was fixed upon, pro- vided a sufficient sum of money could be raised by private subscription to purchase the grounds, including the buildings thereon, and to pay for the proposed changes in the design of the structure.
Through the generosity of citizens $7689.00 was sub- scribed and paid for this purpose, with the understanding that any amount left after completing the monument, was to be deposited with the town and held in trust, as a fund, the income thereof to be used for the care and protection of the Memorial.
The contributions were given with such a spirit of liberality pervading the entire community, as almost to preclude the mention of individual names, yet it may be proper to refer to the large donations received from John P. Squire, Francis S. Frost and Apollos J. Tillson ; and to add, that the payment of eight hundred dollars by Mr. Squire, for the buildings upon the ground, was far in excess of their value for removal, and was regarded largely as an addition to his former contribution.
In obtaining subscriptions the committee was much in- debted to the assistance rendered by Mr. William E. Wood ;
154
REPORT ON SOLDIERS' MONUMENT.
more than six thousand dollars of the amount subscribed was made upon a paper circulated by him.
The plot of ground upon which the monument stands, was purchased from Frederick E. Fowle, and conveyed by deed, dated August 4, 1886, recorded with Middlesex South Dist. deeds, libro 1760, folio 443. The sum paid for the land and buildings, was four thousand five hundred dollars. Mr. Fowle conveyed the property to Samuel G. Damon, William E. Parmenter and William G. Peck, in trust for the purposes set forth in the deed. After the building had been sold to Mr. Squire, and by him removed, and the monument was in considerable part erected, said Damon, Parmenter and Peck conveyed the land, in conformity to the trust, to the town, by deed, dated October 15, 1886 ; recorded with said Middlesex deeds, libro 1779, folio 536, "said premises to be forever held as the site of the Soldiers' Monument."
At the town meeting held November 2, 1886, under Article 6 of the warrant, the town voted to accept the con- veyance of the land to be held for the purpose therein designated.
At the town meeting held March 15, 1887, under Article 30 of the warrant, the town appropriated twelve hundred dollars "to enclose the site of the monument with suitable curbstones, to grade, grass, plant and otherwise decorate the grounds, to place curbstones along the outer line of the sidewalks adjoining the lot, and concrete the sidewalks."
On the 17th of June, 1887, the monument was dedicated under the auspices of Francis Gould Post 36, Grand Army of the Republic and a committee of citizens of the town. The day was fine; the monument, the speakers' stand, the public buildings and many of the private residences in the town were suitably decorated for the occasion. The procession was under the direction of John H. Hardy, Chief Marshal, James A. Marden, Chief of Staff with several aids. In the

procession were Baldwin's Cadet Band, 25 pieces and numerous Drum, Fife and Bugle corps; the Somerville Light Infantry, Co. M., 8th Mass. V. M .; Arlington Fire Department, Charles Gott, Chief Engineer; Company of boys with a small fire engine; Francis Gould Post 36, G. A. R .; Mozart Reg. Association, 40th New York Vols., being the regiment in which 35 of our citizens enlisted and served ; Grand Army Republic Posts 30, 56, 57, and 186, of Cambridge; Post 119, Lexington; Post 180, Concord ; Post 66, Medford ; Post 29, Waltham; Post 62, Newton; Post 81, Watertown ; carriages conveying Town Officers, Committee, Orator, Poet, and Invited Guests.
The procession halted at the monument, formed in front of the speakers' stand, and the citizens gathered around.
William E. Parmenter, Chairman of the committee of ar- rangements and President of the day, welcomed the assembly and introduced the several speakers. The chairman of the monument committee in a brief address surrendered the monument to the town ; James A. Bailey, chairman of the Selectmen accepted the monument in behalf of the town, and requested Post 36, Major Bacon, Commander, to pro- ceed with its dedication. The dedication was conducted in conformity with the full ritual of the G. A. R., after which, our townsman, John T. Trowbridge, delivered a poem writ- ten by him for the occasion. His Honor, Lieut. Gov. J. Q. A. Brackett, also a resident of the town, delivered the oration. The dinner was provided by William Tufts, caterer, in a large tent in a field southwest of and near the monument; nearly a thousand Comrades of the G. A. R. and invited guests partook of the dinner.
The expense of the dedication amounted to more than $1000.00, and was met by voluntary contributions of our citizens.
A full report of the dedication exercises, including oration

It was the purpose of the committee to place a suitable fence between the monument lot and the estate adjoining, owned by Mr. Fowle, and to plant shrubbery upon the grounds, at an estimated cost of one hundred dollars ; but
158
REPORT ON SOLDIERS' MONUMENT.
before the grounds were prepared for this work the season was too far advanced to do it.
There remains now in the hands of the committee the un- expended balance from contributions, $1012.02. There is an unexpended balance of the town appropriation of March 15, 1887, $412.61, making together $1424.63.
The committee recommend the acceptance of the sub- scribers' fund as tendered ; the appropriation of the unex- pended balance, $412.61, and a new appropriation of $675.37. These sums aggregate $2100. Of this amount $100 will be required for the building of the fence and adorning the grounds. The committee then further recommend that the amount remaining ($2000), shall be established as a per- manent fund for the preservation and care of the monument and grounds, to be styled the Soldiers' Monument Fund, and to be placed in the hands of trustees, to be chosen by the town.
The committee append hereto the report of Wm. G. Peck, their treasurer.
