Granville W. Fogg was second master's mate on ship Mercidita. He died on the passage from New Orleans to Port Royal and was buried at the latter place. He was afterwards brought to Garland and laid to rest in the family burying ground on May 15, 1865.
These men died for their country, and "there is no nobler death than to die for one's country."
The particulars relating to the military services of the men who represented Garland in the war of the rebellion which have been briefly given, were gleaned from many sources by Benjamin True, Esq., a prominent member of the G. A. R. of Garland. This work has involved much time and labor and Mr. True is entitled to great credit for having collected and put them on record. Many a citizen of the United States is today searching ancestral records with eager eye, if perchance he may find that his ancestral line extending through the years, will reach some soldier of the Revolution which will make him eligible to membership in an asso- ciation of the Sons of the Revolution. History will repeat itself. In coming years citizens of the Republic will be searching records to find whether they may enjoy the distinction of descent from the valiant men who fought to save the best government in the world from annihilation.

The number of men furnished to fill the different quotas of Garland including enlistments, reenlistments and substitutes :
Men who entered the service by voluntary enlist- ment, 129
Men who were represented by substitutes, 19
Men who reenlisted, 25
Whole number furnished by Garland, 173
The male population at that time was seven hundred and eighty-five, thus it appears that considerable more than one fifth of its male population was found in its quotas at different times.
Cost of the War to the Town of Garland
The first act of the town, after having filled its first quota, was to provide for the families of the men who had entered the military service. A committee was appointed which was charged with the duty of visiting these families as often as necessary to ascertain the needs of each and report to the selectmen, who were instructed to extend the necessary aid. The amount paid under these instructions during the war was five thousand and seventy-nine dollars and ninety cents.
Bounties
In 1862 the town paid three years men, $ 795.00 In 1862 the town paid nine months men, 1,900.00
In 1863 the town paid to volunteers, 3,400.00

Woman in the War of the Rebellion
Any history of the War of the Rebellion that fails to recognize the patriotic devotion of the women of the northern states is incomplete. From its opening to its close their busy brains and never tiring hands were devis- ing and executing plans for the encouragement of the men in active service at the front, or languishing in hospitals, and while they could not know that any article of the interminable list designed for the comfort of the brave men would ever reach father, brother, son or friend of theirs it was enough for them to know that it would reach and cheer soldiers fighting at the front or disabled in hospitals. But their supreme gifts were fathers, brothers, husbands and sons who might never return to bless their homes with the cheer of their presence.
The women of Garland entered promptly upon the work of preparing and sending to the front such supplies as were needed by sick and disabled men in hospitals. At an early date a strawberry festival was held by the ladies of the town, the avails of which were to be expended for hospital use at the front.
The people entered upon the work of preparation with
383
HISTORY OF GARLAND, MAINE
enthusiasm. The hall in which they assembled was decorated with flowers and the tables were loaded with food of a variety to tempt every type of appetite. The money realized from the festival was one hundred dollars, which was invested in flannels that were made into garments ready for use. They also knit many dozen pairs of stockings and made comfort bags, filling them with a great variety of articles needed in hospitals, never forgetting to send a word of cheer for the sick soldier.
The usefulness of one specialty of a very simple character was often complimented. An elderly lady, Mrs. Josiah Merriam, suggested the making of noiseless fans for use in hospitals. These fans were made of feathers thus freeing the patient from the annoyance of the rustling incident to the use of other fans. The work so auspiciously begun at the opening of the war was carried on with unflagging enthusiasm to its close.
The hospital supplies contributed by the women of Garland were appraised at cash value and were dis- tributed as follows :
To the United States Sanitary Commission, $200
To the Christian Commission,
50
To the soldiers in Maine camp, 75
To the general hospitals in loyal states, 100
To the regimental hospitals and incidentals, 250
To New York, Philadelphia and Boston hospi- tals, 300
Total, $975
President Lincoln is reported to have said in a speech on a public occasion, "I am not accustomed to use the language of eulogy. I have never studied the art of paying compliments to women, but I must say that if
384

all that has been said by orators and poets since the creation of the world in praise of women was applied to the women of America, it would not do them justice for their conduct during this war. I WILL CLOSE BY SAYING, GOD BLESS THE WOMEN OF AMERICA !"
An Incident Connected With Filling One of the Quotas Assigned to the Town of Garland
The required number of men to fill the quota was ready to enlist if the bounty offered by the government to each man could be increased by the sum of one hun- dred dollars. Of wealthy men, the town had none. But twenty of its citizens promptly pledged one hun- dred dollars each, and six others fifty dollars each to avoid a draft, an aggregate of two thousand, three hundred dollars, but a subsequent act of the government relieved those patriotic citizens of the burden they had voluntarily offered to assume. The subscribers to this fund were:

A Tribute
My acquaintance with Hon. Lyndon Oak, of Gar- land, Maine, was of a quarter of a century's duration, and my friendship for him, strengthened by a constantly increased admiration of his noble traits of character, covers the same period.
It gives me, therefore, very great satisfaction to put on record my estimate of the man, especially in the rela- tions in which I have principally known him. Others can more easily write of him as a citizen, as a man of affairs, as a friend and companion in the domestic circle and in his own immediate neighborhood, and as a wise adviser in the counsels of the town, the county, and the State.
My own association with him was in connection with the Maine State College of which he was a trustee for more than twenty years, and of whose governing board he was for several years president.
In the early history of the college, the occasions for meetings of the board of trustees were frequent, and even under ordinary conditions, three meetings a year were usually the minimum number. It is not in my remembrance that Mr. Oak ever missed attendance upon a meeting while connected with the board. This state- ment, at first, may seem of slight consequence, but when we reflect that a meeting of the board of trus- tees, besides involving much anxious thought and careful deliberation, meant for him, usually, a carriage drive of
·

HISTORY OF GARLAND, MAINE
not less than forty miles, with loss of time for two or three days from his own private business, and all this without compensation, we are prepared to recognize an admirable but truly characteristic trait of the man, namely, unflinching fidelity to duty.
This fidelity, together with a gentle forbearance and a patient persistence, which was also characteristic, served the college in many an exigency in which more flashy qualities would have failed.
His services were especially valuable in connection with legislative matters. The soundness of his judg- ment was above question, and the confidence reposed in him wherever known rendered his recommendations of great weight before legislative committees-a fact always duly apparent and appreciated in the final votes. It was, however, as a kind, thoughtful and sagacious counsellor in the general affairs of the college that his services were the most valuable. I am sure I do no injustice to his worthy associates in the board, in saying that in all critical periods of the college history, his services were simply invaluable.
As acting president of the college during the first three years of its existence, and subsequently as presi- dent during the last ten years of Mr. Oak's member- ship of the board of control, I received from him many letters pertaining to matters of vital importance to the institution, not a few of which were necessarily of a confidential nature. A few months ago I had occasion to re-read a large proportion of these letters, which, to that time had been preserved. I can say in regard to them just what all who knew him would expect, that there was not a line in them all which was not alike creditable to his head and to his heart. Even if the topic were of a nature to discourage or to exasperate, there was no evidence of discouragement or of undue
387
HISTORY OF GARLAND, MAINE
mental excitement, but always of a clear and cool judg- ment and of a hopeful and confident spirit. In them all, the motive was definite and clear to consult the true interests of the institution and of the State, and to secure only the result which was just and right.
His retirement from the board I have regarded a mis- fortune to the college. It came about after three appointments for the period of seven years each, in virtue of what seems to me an unwise statute limitation of age, which makes ineligible for appointment as trustee of the State college a man who has passed his seventieth birthday. 'The loss to the college by his retirement, was the gain to another State institution to whose governing board he was immediately appointed by the Governor of the State. Ripe in experience, with faculties unimpaired, he rendered the State under this new appointment a large measure of useful service.
From a somewhat close association with him, for more than two decades, in mutual efforts in behalf of the Maine State College, I am certain that no one can over- estimate the sterling qualities which he possessed and which endeared him to a constantly widened circle of devoted friends, and made his name a synonym for honesty, truthfulness and loyalty to the right. The remembrance of this association is to me a fragrant memory, inasmuch as it serves to enlarge my conception of the dignity of human nature, and to lead to the con- viction that there are men whom we can easily conceive to have been made in the image of God.
