Again 'tis true, and we admit. With reference to the latter. There were times when we thought it best To limber up and scatter.
And as from year to year we stand Around the baked bean platter. To tale cach comrade by the hand. Then limber up and scatter.

May cach year closer, closer, bind, And may the tie grow stronger, Until, the last handshaking done, We meet on carth no longer,
And out into the great unknown, My comrade, friend. and brother, Poor human hearts have warmer grown In beating for each other.
And, too, whatever be beyond The casket and the pall, The great, warm, loving heart of God Is beating for us all.
CHAPTER XI.
REUNIONS.
From almost the very first of our reunions the matter of the history of the Battery was talked and a new historian appointed every year. the following comrades having served in that capacity-James A. Jones, Ethel H. Jones, II. H. Powers, Henry C. Cony and Abial Chandler -- but the time of each of these men was so taken up with other business that they could not give the matter the time it required.
Abial Chandler, having had experience as newspaper cor- respondent, wrote and compiled more than all of the others had up to 1896, so that what he had done, with the little the others had accomplished, formed a nucleus for the actual beginning of the History.
Comrade Judson Ames, who lived in Montreal, Canada, yet who managed to attend almost every reunion of the Battery, was one of the very first to agitate the publishing of a History and was on hand each year to jog the memories of the boys in regard to the matter. He probably has done more than all the others, excepting perhaps Comrade Ethel II. Jones, in the way of correspondence, collecting dates, etc. While each and every member was willing to help in regard to it, yet it seemed to many of them almost too great a job to be carried through, for in addition to all the work of collecting material, compiling the same, etc., there was the question of raising between three and four hundred dollars to get the book published and bound.
At first the intentions were to have a larger book, containing cuts of many of the comrades, which would be quite expensive.
Things went on year after year and very little was done toward the completion of the book, but Comrade Ames kept
171
LIGHT ARTILLERY, 1861-65.
dinging away like a telephone girl until he had succeeded in ringing up the whole Battery and making them aware of the fact that the History must and should be printed.
At the fourteenth reunion, held at Skowhegan, E. H. Jones, Judson Ames and Mrs. C. M. Williams were appointed a com- mittee to complete the History. Marion Mills was appointed treasurer of the History fund and up to the year 1900 had col- lected from the members about seventy-five dollars, with pledges from others, which would increase the fund nearly enough to pay for the printing and binding of the book.
I will here insert an extract copied from the record of the fifteenth reunion :
"A considerable portion of the time at the business meeting was taken up discussing the means by which funds should be raised to complete the History of the Battery.
Remarks were made by Comrades E. II. Jones, Ames, Sturdy, Bangs and others; finally the following was offered in writing by Comrade Bangs and accepted by the association and ordered to be spread upon the record :
Voted, that the committee on the History of the Fourth Maine Battery be and are hereby instructed to continue the completion of the same and when completed ascertain the cost, which shall not exceed two dollars per copy. Thereafter that they procure all subscriptions possible, stating in the prospectus what the cost will be, and that when the same has been finished they proceed to have a sufficient number of copies published to fill orders for the same, and we, the undersigned, pledge our- selves individually and collectively to guarantee the cost to the committee.
Signed:
A. S. Bangs, C. A. Sturdy, Win. Il. Brooks, Jos. B. French, Tester Holway, Judson Ames, Ethel H. Jones, A. L. Brown, D. O. Dearborn."
On motion of Comrade Ames, Comrade A. S. Bangs was added to the Committee on History, but Comrade Bangs resigned, as he could not give the matter the attention it required.
Soon after this Mrs. C. M. Williams died, which was a great drawback to the progress of the book.
At our twentieth annual reunion, in 1900. Comrade E. H.
172
FOURTH MAINE BATTERY
Jones made a long report in regard to the History, stating what had been done and that it was nearly read for the publisher. He said while he had been of some assistance in pushing the matter and that in the death of Mrs. Williams the committee had suffered an irreparable loss, yet he wished it distinctly under- stood that if the History was published all honor must be given to Comrade Judson Ames for his indefatigable zeal from start to finish.
Undoubtedly had Comrade Jones lived the book would have been published four years ago, but he died in September, 1901, with the History still unfinished. By his death almost all of the members of the association were discouraged about the completion of the book. Comrade Ames was now the only member of the committee left, yet he persevered and has carried through the plan of having a History of the Fourth Maine Bat- tery published.
REUNIONS OF THE FOURTH MAINE BATTERY.
It would seem but fitting in the history of the Fourth Maine Battery that some mention should be made of the Fourth Maine Battery Association, which was organized in Augusta on June 21, 1882, seventeen years after the close of the war.
For several years prior to that, as comrades would accidentally meet each other, each would express a wish that there might be a reunion of the old Battery.
In the winter of 1881-2 it was talked over by the comrades in Augusta until they got so enthusiastic over it that in April, 1882, a party made up as follows -- A. S. Bangs and wife, Wm. H. Brooks and wife. J. M. Allen and wife, Ethel H. and James A. Jones and wives, and Mrs. C. M. Williams, relict of Sergeant Cyrus M. Williams, met at the house of James A. Jones and arranged a temporary organization, electing A. S. Bangs presi- dent and Jaines A. Jones secretary, with instructions to ascer- tain the whereabouts of all the members possible and send out notices calling for a reunion of the Fourth Maine Battery at G. A. R. Hall, Augusta, on June 21, 1882.
Mrs. C. M. Williams was of great aid in organizing our first reunion and all subsequent ones until her death which occurred in 1900. In fact all of the ladies were of much assistance to us in perfecting the organization, so it was voted at that time
173
LIGHT ARTILLERY, 1861-65.
that the wives, mothers, sisters and daughters of the comrades should be made members of the association, and from that time they have continued to be a part of it and have looked forward to the annual reunion with as much pleasure as the comrades themselves.
I herewith copy from the record of our first reunion :
AUGUSTA, Me., June 21, 1882.
Fourth Maine Battery first reunion.
At eleven o'clock the meeting was called to order by Comrade A. S. Bangs and at once proceeded to business.
On motion of Comrade Abel Davis, a committee of three was appointed to receive, sort and count votes for the election of officers; the following comrades were appointed: James M. Allen, Calvin H. C. Dearborn and H. M. Wentworth, who reported as follows: For president, A. S. Bangs, Augusta ; vice president, Abel Davis, New Portland : secretary, James A. Jones, Augusta; treasurer, Wi. H. Brooks, Augusta.
On motion of Comrade George B. Crane, a committee of three was appointed on resolutions. The following comrades were appointed: George B. Crane, H. H. Powers, James A. Jones.
A committee on business was then appointed, consisting of M. S. Philbrick, O. O. Vittum, Lester Holway.
On motion of Comrade Brooks, adjourned until two o'clock.
Dinner was served at twelve, the old veterans keeping up their former reputation for getting away with a large amount of yellow-eyed beans.
The ladies who accompanied them added much to the enig- ment of the occasion.
At two o'clock the meeting was again called to only. Speeches were made by several of the commandes, comme. . reported and resolutions were read and adopted.
Supper was served at six and in the evening a campfire w .. held and all appeared to have enjoyed our first reanim veri much, many remaining over until the next day.
There is one little incident in connection with that ;connin of which the writer has thought many times and it :000 a : : out of place to mention it here. Notices had been given in tile papers that a reunion of the Fourth Ative Battere were held in Augusta on such a date, etc. The day bei ! reunion a young reporter came to me, saying he Had read in 0.
174
FOURTH MAINE BATTERY
paper that we were to hold a reunion, and made some inquiries in regard to the Battery, concerning which I gave him all the information I could. As he was about to go he turned and said : "About how many special police will the marshal call out for the day?" To say I was astonished but feebly expresses it. ] repeated "Special police !" and then used the identical words that Vanderbilt used to a reporter later on, viz., "Public be damned," and asked him with considerable spirit what in sheal, or some word to that effect, and I think I added the word "damnation," did he suppose we wanted of special police. I told him that the very worst element of the Battery lived here, and named over the Augusta boys, saying that even those had managed to get along thus far without the interference of the police.
He evidently supposed that if a body of ex-soldiers came together that they would attempt to run the city, and to protect the lives and property of our citizens that an extra police force must be called out. He redeemed himself, however, in his report in the paper. During the day I had introduced him to Hebron N. Wentworth, mayor of the city of Gardiner, Dr. George B. Crane, Abel Davis, Esq .. and others, also some of the ladies, not forgetting to inquire if he thought we needed the police force enlarged on our account.
In his nice, long report he spoke of the good behavior and gentlemandy bearing of the comrades and of their fine-looking ladies, and hoped it would be his privilege to meet with us again. The list of forty-eight members who were in attendance at the reunion was given to the reporter for publication before the names were recorded in the Battery book, hence they do not appear here, but as I glance over our second reunion I will give the names of those who attended that.
Of our second reunion perhaps I can do no better than to copy the record. but as space is limited I will be able to only glance along at the others.
MARANOCOOK LAKE. August 16, 1883.
Fourth Maine Battery second reunion.
Thirty-eight members of the Battery present, most of them accompanied by their wives and children.
The meeting was called to order by President Bangs, who made a few appropriate remarks of greeting to the comrades.
175
LIGHT ARTILLERY, 1861-65.
Remarks were also made by Comrades Abel Davis, Owen, Lieu- tenant Coffin and others.
Comrades E. H. Jones, Abel Davis and Howard Owen were appointed as committee to prepare a list of officers for the ensu- ing year. Meeting adjourned for refreshments, to meet again for business at 2 P. M.
Afternoon session .-- First business in order was reports of committees. The chairman of the committee reported as fol- lows: President, A. S. Bangs, Augusta; vice presidents, M. B. Coffin, Winthrop, Abel Davis, New Portland ; secretary, James A. Jones, Augusta ; treasurer, Wm. H. Brooks, Augusta ; execu- tive committee, Marion Mills, Skowhegan, H. M. Wentworth, Gardiner, J. M. Freeman, Bethel, Howard Owen, Augusta.
The report was by vote unanimously accepted.
President Bangs made some feeling remarks, thanking the comrades most heartily for the honor conferred but absolutely declining to serve a third term. The comrades very reluctantly consented to the retirement of Comrade Bangs, and on motion of Comrade Owen, Senior Vice President Coffin was elected to fill the vacancy, Comrade Davis was clected as senior vice pres- ident and Maurice Philbrick as junior vice president. Presi- dent Coffin came forward and thanked the comrades for the trust reposed in him and hoped the Fourth Maine Battery Association would continue to hold their meetings until their ranks were reduced to the one-half of a "baker's dozen."
Commade Owen made some very pleasing remarks in regard to holding our reunions in the future by ourselves instead of going in with the whole State of Maine. He said that mixing in, overshadowed the little band of the old Fourth Maine to such an extent that it made the reunion this year a partial failure, and that while our neighbors may be just as good as our own fami- lies, yet we liked our own families the best. All the comrades present concurred with the views of Comrade Owen, and Com- rade Davis said that he thought it much better to be "a king among toads than to be a toad among kings."
The matter of organizing an association of all the Maine batteries was discussed at some length and the secretary instructed to correspond with other associations of Maine bat- teries in regard to i.
Voted to hold the next reunion at Skowhegan. The following is a list of those present :

Our reunions have been held at Augusta, Maranocook, Skow- hegan, Auburn. Pittsfield. No. Anson, Bethel, Peaks Island, Farmington, Norrilgewock and Waterville. In most of those places we have met twice or more. As space is limited I can only give a passing glance at the most of them. But all who have attended will agree with me in saying that each city or town seemed to out de the others in the way of making our meetings a success, and there were no failures in any of them.
Bethel having been the home of Captain Robinson, also the home of Comra les Frank Bartlett, Abial Chandler, Lients. Kim- ball and Freeman and other members of the battery, we decided to hold our ninth reunion there and I will copy from the record something of that meeting there. The ninth reunion of the Fourth Maine Battery Association was held at G. A. R. Hall, Bethel, June 24, 1891.
A goodly number of the boys accompanied by their ladies were present and we had one of the best times we have had since the organization of the association.
LIGHT ARTILLERY, 1861-65. 177
Dinner served at twelve, business meeting at two at which President Ames made a few feeling remarks in regard to the death of our secretary Henry C. Cony, also Comrades Charles B. Patterson and J. H. Goodwin who had died since the last meeting.
The committee appointed to present names for officers for the ensuing year reported as follows :
President, John M. Freeman ; vice-president, Lester Holway; secretary, James A. Jones; treasurer, Geo. F. Sturtevant.
All were unanimously elected but President Freeman abso- lutely refused to serve. Comrade Holway was elected to fill the vacancy and he also declined to serve. D. O. Dearborn was then elected president. He was surprised and was on the point of declining when he was again surprised by the ladies seizing him and not only holding him in his seat but by placing their hands over his mouth rendered speech impossible, therefore he made no objections.
At three P. M. the grave of Capt. Robinson was visited and beautifully decorated by the meinbers of the battery. In the evening we again assembled at Ideal Hall where an interesting program was carried out. Judge Woodbury offered prayer, Judge Enoch Foster delivered the address of welcome to which Comrade Bangs responded. Speeches were made by Comrades Kimball, Davis, Old Dean and others.
Company 1, Fifth Maine Regiment Col. Edwards' old com- pany, held a reunion here the same day so all business was virtually suspended and the people turned their attention to the reunions.
The boys are deserving of much credit for their gentlemanly conduct while here, everyone conducted himself in such a man- ner as to gain the respect of all the citizens. Let us on all occa- sions strive to fulfil our duty to ourselves, our country and our God so that when our last battle has been fought our last earthly reunion ended we may join the grand army of peace in the shining tents upon the eternal company ground above.
At Skowhegan the home of Capt. White, Marion Mills, Harville and others, several of our reunions have been held. All of them will be remembered with pleasure and for their success much credit is due Comrade Mills and wife who spared them-
12
178
FOURTH MAINE BATTERY
selves no amount of labor to make everybody happy, and to see that none went away disappointed.
We all remember with pleasure our reunion at Auburn where Comrade George Moore and wife and Comrade Geo F. Sturte- vant and wife spared no pains to make a success of our meeting.
At Pittsfield Comrade Davis and wife and Comrade H. H. Powers and wife worked with the same zeal with the same results.
At North Anson Comrades Charles Crymble, George McKen- ney, Ambrose Vittinn and their wives, Lyman G. Brown, Octave Thompson, and others from adjoining towns should come in for their share in the glory of the successful reunions held in their town.
None of us who attended the meeting at Farmington will ever forget the royal entertainment given us by Comrades A. J. Gerry and Silas Perham and their wives.
At Waterville we remember with pleasure the kindness of Comrades Chas. B. Frost and Andrew A. Lakin and their wives, who received us. At the campfire Comrade Frost declared he had not had so good a time since he had the smallpox down at Little Washington, W. Va.
Our sixteenth reunion was held at Norridgewock, the former home of Lieut. H. F. Eaton, Henry B. Stevens and perhaps others, whom I do not recall to mind. This was a most enjoy- able occasion as Lieut. Eaton met with us. coming from his home in Ludden, No. Dak. We had a good attendance of the boys and their ladies. Many of the comrades had not met Lieut. Eaton since the close of the war. Landlord Cahill of the new hotel threw open his house for us. The spacious dining-room was handsomely decorated and a fine orchestra furnished music while one hundred guests, comprised of the battery boys and their families, members of the Bates Post, and the Relief Corps sat down to well filled tables.
After the business meeting, which followed the dinner, the visitors looked over the town then returned to the hotel for supper. during which short speeches were made and cheers long and loud were given for mine host and hostess, Bates Post, Ladies' Relief Corps, Lieut. Eaton and the citizens of Norridge- wock in general. The company was so hilarious that a little
179
LIGHT ARTILLERY, 1861-65.
child present asked his mother if old soldiers always made such a noise at the table.
In the evening speeches were made by Lieut. Eaton, Mrs. Sergeant Williams and others, fine music was furnished by a choir and everything passed off to the satisfaction of all present.
The following tribute to the wife of Comrade Abel Davis, who had passed away since our last reunion, was offered by Mrs. C. M. Williams: "In behalf of the women of the Fourth Maine Battery Association I wish to offer a tribute of a few words to the memory of one of our number, who a few months ago closed her eyes to all earthly scenes, Mrs. Angie Rogers Davis, wife of Comrade Abel Davis. Although her connection with the association was of comparatively recent date, yet she was one of our most enthusiastic members. We recall with pleasure hei bright, cheery greetings, her interest in all that per- tained to our gatherings, and her readiness to do all she could to add to the peasure of our meetings. We feel a sense of personal loss as the sad thought comes to our hearts, that her presence will no longer cheer our reunions, but we look forward to another reunion in the happier clime where the inhabitants will never say "I am sick.' We tender our sympathy to him whose home has been made desolate by her departure."
A vote of thanks was extended to Mr. and Miss Cahill, and a long list of resolutions was presented which closed up as follows:
Whereas during the year some of our members have been called upon to part with loved ones and we wish to extend our sympathies to them in their affliction, therefore be it
Resolved, That expressions of our deepest and most heartfelt sympathy be conveyed to our borrowing comrades. To Com- rade Davis we especially extend our sympathy in his hours of loneliness: to Comrade D. O. Dearborn and wife we extend deep sympathy.
HAMLIN F. EATON, JUDSON AMES, ETHEL H. JONES.
At the annual reunion of the Fourth Maine Battery Associa- tion held at Norridgewock June 22. it was resolved, "That greet- ings be sent to the ist Me. Regiment, now in camp at Chicka- manga and that we are glad to know, that among their num-
180
FOURTH MAINE BATTERY
ber are sons of our comrades, who, more than a generation ago followed the old flag for more than three years from Cedar Mountain to Appomattox. May the same spirit of loyalty, patriotism and faithfulness to duty that animated the father be shown by the sons."
C. A. STURDY, President, JAMES A. JONES, Secretary.
At our eighteenth annual reunion held in Augusta in June, 1900, the secretary reported that four deaths had occurred dur- ing the year, viz. : H. M. Wentworth, Amaziah Southard, Lewis Ware and Mrs. C. M. Williams. The following resolutions were passed on the death of the comrades and Mrs. Williams :
Resolved, That it is with sadness that we learn of the death of Comrades Ware, Southard and Wentworth; that their names will ever be dear to our memory as true and loyal members of our order and faithful comrades. We also are made sad by the death of Mrs. Jennie Williams, relict of our late Comrade Cyrus M. Williams. She passed away on June 14, 1900. Be it also
Resolved, That in the death of Mrs. Williams, we have lost a true and tried friend, an active member of our association, a beloved and useful woman, whose loss the community will mourn ; that she will ever hold a place in cur memory as a use- ful member of our organization, ever prompt and ready for duty. She was one of the cleven who started this association and has given much time and attention to its meetings. Every member of this order will miss her kindly face and cheering words, and by her exited views and elevated thoughts her presence was essentially necessary to our happiness. In the church she was a devoted Christian, true to its tenets, and just in the work. As a neighbor she was always obliging and unselfish. Uplifting in thought she advanced from a lower to a higher state, from dark- ness to light, from death to life, from error to truth, and "Well done good and faithful servant," will be said as she enters the haven of rest.
Resolved. That we tender to the friends of the deceased our sincere and heartfelt sympathy in this their bereavement. That these resolutions be spread upon the records and a copy be sent to the friends of the deceased.

At our twentieth reunion held in Skowhegan, the secretary reported seven deaths, during the year, viz .: Chas. A. Allen, Ethel H. Jones. Chas. Eldridge, John B. Holbrook, Madison Wright, John A. King and Cornelius Dutton. Resolutions were passed on the death of the above members.
By death only has there anything occurred to mar the pleasure of our meetings. At our various reunions we have had a great many good things for our campfire entertainment in the way of speeches, songs, readings, music, etc., but perhaps none were ever more pleasing than a little poem read at Augusta by Mrs. Ella Jones Benson. The author's name is not given but the poem is entitled,
THE LITTLE BROWN BUTTON.
How dear to the heart of each gray-headed soldier Are thoughts of the days when he still wore the blue, While memory recalls every trial and danger And scenes of the past are brought back to his view. Though long since discarding their arms and equipments, There's one thing a veter ut most surely will note;
The first thing he sees on the form of a comrade,
Is the little bronze button he wears on his coat.
Chorus: The little brown button, The sacred be mire button. The Grand Army button, He wears on his coat.
"How much dil it cost?" said a man to a soldier "That bitle fot button you wear on your coat." "Ten cents in good money." he answered the stranger. "And four years of marching and fighting to but." The wealth of the world cannot purchase this emblem, Except that the haver one word the brave blue; And it shows to mankind the full marks of a hero, A man who in he nor and country was true.
Then let tis be proud of the little bronze button, And wear it with spirit be chi soil and boldt. Frate really welche cach aile who supports it. With love in our hearts for the comrades of old. Each day mesters oet whole hattedions of wearers, And sort vall ie watered the then to dear. But millions to case will remember with honor, The man who'd the right that bronze button to wear.
