When the militia was called out to protect the City of Portland against a threatened invasion, there was a generous response from Rumford and the adjoining towns. When the orders came, Nathan Adams mounted on horseback, travelled through Rumford, the lower part of Bethel, Newry, Andover, Peru, Dixfield. Albany, Water- ford and Norway, and through several neighboring plantations, notifying the people of the threatened attack upon the principal seaport town of the district, and very soon a large and efficient company, under command of Captain William Wheeler of Rumford, was ready to march. This was in the autumn of 1814, and this company was in service at Portland from September twenty-fifth to November ninth. They were in the regiment of Lieutenant-Colonel

The fears of the attack on Portland were either groundless, or the enemy, learning the preparations made to receive them, thought it the part of prudence to keep at a proper distance. There was no fighting, but those who responded to the call and remained in line of duty until ordered home, were entitled to just as much credit as though they had met and fought the enemy.

CHAPTER XXVIII.
WAR OF THE REBELLION.
WHEN the war of the rebellion broke out in 1861, no town in Maine that did not have a company of organized militia, responded more promptly than did the town of Rumford. In re- sponse to the first call for seventy-five thousand men to serve for three months, Oxford county was called upon for one company. The only company of organized militia in Oxford county at that time was in Norway, and the Norway Light Infantry formed the nucleus of a company for the First Maine Regiment, which was organized in May and started for Washington on the first day of June. Several Rumford men offered their services in this regiment, but such was the rush for places, that only one actual resident of Rumford was accepted. Several natives of this town, then residing elsewhere, were in the First Maine Regiment. In the Fifth Maine Regiment, which was mustered into the United States service June 24, 1861, were a number of men from this town, there being seven in one company. After this there were Rumford men in nearly every Maine regiment raised down to the close of the war. There were large squads from this town in the tenth, twelfth, fourteenth. seven- teenth:, twentieth, twenty-third, twenty-ninth and thirty-first Maine Regiments of Infantry, and also in the Seventh Maine Battery of Light Artillery. Following is a list of the names of one hundred and twenty-seven men who served on the quotas of Rumford during the War of the Rebellion, and all but a very small number were residents of the town when they entered the service. It is believed that no other town in the county furnished a larger number of native born citizens, in proportion to its population, than Rumford, and none had more men killed in action or died from wounds. Rum- ford soldiers had a part in all the great battles of the Army of the Potomac, and in the engagements on the lower Mississippi. Their record is every way honorable, and such as to reflect honor upon themselves and credit to their families and townsmen. Some of their dead repose in the National cemeteries, some were buried

where they fell, and in a few instances their remains were brought home and interred by loving hands in the soil of their native town. Rumford has erected no monument to perpetuate their heroic deeds, but their sacrifices in behalf of home and country are not forgotten, and their memory is enshrined in loving and faithful hearts.
Those who were killed in action or who died from wounds are given a conspicious place here, in order that they may be easily referred to, but those who died from disease contracted in the service, in the line of duty, are equally worthy.
