The church, which had numbered ninety-seven in 1855, had reached the number of one hundred and fifteen in 1865. The death of Deacon Zebulon Knight occurred in August, 1865, at the end of nineteen years of service in this capacity. His successor was George W. Otis. In the year 1866, both minister and people had come to believe that the village of Garland should be made the central point of influence and effort. Elder Reed, between whom and Rev. P. B. Thayer, of the Congregational church, the most friendly relations existed, is authority for the statement that the idea of making the village the headquarters of his church and people was first suggested by his friend, the Rev. P. B. Thayer. Then, as now, the Free Baptist people were the most numerous in the easterly part of the town, a fact that explained why their first meetinghouse had been built two and one half miles from the village. But now the attendance had become largely increased and demanded larger accommodations. The decision was reached to build a meetinghouse of larger size at the village, to take the place of the original house. Elder

Reed was appointed to solicit subscriptions to the build- ing fund. Greenbacks were then plenty. Entering upon his work with confidence and zeal, he had at the end of three and one half days the happiness of pre- senting to his people subscriptions amounting to more than five thousand dollars.
The subscriptions were paid with creditable prompt- ness. The work of construction was promptly begun and carried to an early completion. Only a small debt remained to disturb the equanimity of the contributors to the building fund. The new house was complete in size, attractive in appearance and an ornament to the : village. It was dedicated on December 15, 1866. Rev. A. W. Reed preached the dedicatory sermon. Revs. A. L. Gerrish, P. B. Thayer, G. S. Bryant and A. P. Tracy assisted in the services. It may be said in this connection that years later Mr. B. P. Hubbard of Stetson, formerly a member of the Free Baptist church of Garland, generously furnished a bell for this church.
In 1867, the salary of Elder Reed was raised to four hundred dollars, to be increased by the donations of a generously disposed community. In 1867, Josiah Davis was chosen deacon of the church. In 1871, Elder Reed resigned his pastorate to accept a position at the State College in Orono. During his stay in Garland his rela- tions to his own people and to the community generally were of the most pleasant character and his resignation was the occasion for general regret.
The Rev. Leonard Hathaway was again called to the pastoral charge of the church but his relations thereto were continued only a single year, which together with his former pastorate, made twelve years of pastoral care over the Free Baptist church of Garland. His people would gladly have retained him but advancing years and increasing infirmities led him to decline further service.
358
HISTORY OF GARLAND, MAINE
Elder Hathaway was followed by W. C. Hulse, who was ordained to the ministry, and elected pastor of the church on March 13, 1872. Elder Hulse was an earnest laborer in the work of the church and Sabbath- school. Soon after his entrance upon his labors here one hundred dollars was raised to enlarge the Sabbath- school library. During a pastorate of about twelve months eight persons were added to the church. In March, 1873, he resigned his pastorate and was followed by the Rev. Leonard Hutchins of New Portland, Maine, who entered upon his labors here in August, 1873, and was elected pastor in September, 1873. Upon the opening of his pastorate he found that there was an unpaid balance of about four hundred dollars due upon the cost of building the new church. This was soon liquidated. Elder Hutchins' labors extended into out- lying districts with gratifying results.
The year 1875 marked the semi-centennial existence of the Free Baptist church. This anniversary was made an occasion of great interest. The address by the Rev. Leonard Hutchins was replete with interesting facts and incidents connected with the history of the church. The interest of the occasion was greatly increased by the presence of the Rev. Leonard Hathaway, who had been its pastor for twelve years, and familiar with its history for a much longer period, and whose narrations, drawn from the storehouse of a remarkable memory, were listened to with absorbing interest.
At the date of this anniversary the church numbered one hundred and two members. The Sabbath-school numbered one hundred and twenty scholars. The church had during its history of fifty years seven pastors. The whole number received into the church in the first fifty years of its history was three hundred and

fifty-nine. The number dismissed by letter was ninety- five. The number dropped from its rolls as the result of discipline is not known to the writer. Through its whole past history it has been abreast with the best sentiment relating to current moral reforms.
Garland in the War of the Rebellion
Early in the season of 1861 ominous war clouds began to darken the southern sky. The more hopeful flattered themselves with the belief that all danger of war with the South would soon disappear, until the thunders of the bombardment of Fort Sumpter awakened them to the fact that it was already on, and the call for seventy- five thousand men indicated that they would have a part in it.
Early Demonstrations
The patriotic impulses of the people soon material- ized. Under the lead of Isaac W. Haskell a flag staff reaching one hundred and ten feet towards the blue of heaven was put in position. The women of the town, not a whit behind their masculine friends in patriotic manifestations, soon had a flag of appropriate dimen- sions waving from its top. A mass meeting was soon assembled when the large crowd listened to stirring speeches from Noah, David and Lewis Barker of Exeter, a Mr. Lowell of Foxcroft, and the Revs. P. B. Thayer and Leonard Hathaway of Garland. The speech of
360
HISTORY OF GARLAND, MAINE
Lewis Barker, which was alleged to have been his first before a popular audience, was a speech of remarkable power.
Calls for Men in 1861
The war soon began to present more serious aspects to the citizens of Garland. The calls for men to enter the ranks of the army were frequent. Forty-five men were mustered into the United States service in 1861. The male population in 1861 was seven hundred and eighty-five. Every seventeenth man entered the service in that eventful year.
Action of the Town Relating to Families of the Men Who Had Enlisted in the Ranks of the Army in 1861
At a town meeting held November 16, 1861, the following vote was passed: "That Daniel M. Haskell, Daniel Silver and James J. Chandler be appointed a committee to whom the families of persons who have volunteered their services, or may hereafter volunteer their service in defense of their country, and who at the time of their enlistment are inhabitants of this town, may apply for aid, and upon such application it shall be the duty of said committee to visit the families so applying to ascertain if the aid asked for, or any aid is necessary, and when it is found necessary to aid such families ; it shall be the duty of said committee to
361
HISTORY OF GARLAND, MAINE
report the amount and kind of aid necessary to the selectmen, whose duty it shall be promptly to provide such aid, and in granting such aid to such families no disabilities of any kind whatever shall be created by reason of aid so furnished and received." No provision for the reimbursement from the State treasury of money expended was made until March, 1862.
On the 28th of July, 1862, the town voted to raise eight hundred dollars, and to pay each of the fifteen soldiers, or the town's quota, fifty-three dollars on being mustered into United States service, and authorized the treasurer to hire the sum above named. On the 8th of September, 1862, the town voted to pay a bounty of twenty dollars to each of our quota, sixteen in number, also voted to present to each of them, or their friends, eighty dollars after being mustered into the services of the United States. The town treasurer was authorized to hire sixteen hundred dollars. On the 9th of March, 1863, the town voted to raise five hundred dollars for the families of volunteers and the selectmen were appointed a committee to execute the purpose of the vote.
On the 26th day of August, 1863, the town voted to pay one hundred dollars to every drafted man who entered the service of his country himself, or furnished a substitute, payable when he or his substitute was mustered into service. On November 23, 1863, the town voted that the sum of two hundred dollars be paid to each person who should enlist and be duly mustered into the service of the United States.
On the 14th of March, 1864, the town appropriated five hundred dollars to pay State aid to the families of volunteers. On August 10th, 1864, the town voted to appropriate twenty-five dollars per man of this town's quota, to be used in recruiting men for the quota of
362
HISTORY OF GARLAND, MAINE
Garland. On August 29th, 1864, the town voted to appropriate one hundred dollars per man, to encourage enlistment to fill its quota under the call of the Presi- dent for five hundred thousand men. It was voted to authorize the treasurer to raise a sum not exceeding two thousand dollars, to pay bounties to volunteers.
Upon September 12th, 1864, the town voted upon a proposed amendment of the State constitution, allowing the citizens of Maine, absent therefrom in the military service of the United States, to vote wherever they might be on a specified day, for governor, senators and county officers. Upon this amendment the vote of Garland was two hundred and fourteen in favor, none against.
On October 15th, 1864, the town voted a sum not to exceed three thousand, one hundred dollars, to pay bounties to volunteers. On the 31st day of December, 1864, the town voted to pay a bounty of one hundred dollars to volunteers under the call of the President, also to pay two hundred and fifty dollars additional to each, provided the coast guards were sent to the front. The treasurer was authorized to hire four thousand dollars. On February 10th, 1865, the town voted to pay four hundred and fifty dollars to volunteers, drafted men and all enlisted men who furnished substitutes.
The town of Garland furnished one hundred and forty-seven men to enter the ranks of those who fought for the preservation of the government which the patriots of the Revolution had risked their lives and all their earthly possessions to establish. Of those one hundred and forty-seven men, one hundred and twenty- eight were residents of Garland, and nineteen were sub- stitutes of residents of Garland from other places.
