NURSES.
Our history would be incomplete without the names of the ladies who volunteered to accompany the regiment as nurses. They are Mrs. Susan Smiley, of North Vassalboro, mother of Private Charles E. Smiley, of Co. B, and Miss Mary E. Chamber- lain, of Enfield, sister of Corporal William II. Chamberlain, of Co. D. While the regiment was at Washington they were attached to the regimental and brigade hospitals. They accom- panied us to Newport News, where the regiment took the field, after which they were attached to the hospitals around Fortress Monroe.
Their unselfish devotion to the service of alleviating the suffer- ings of the sick and wounded, cheering them in their affliction and nursing them back to health, endeared them to all, and must forever mark them as noble examples of that true American wom- anhood which did so much to sustain the army during the entire period of the war.
After the war Mrs. Smiley married Mr. Daniel Babcock, and now lives at Smithville, Jefferson Co., N. Y.
Miss Chamberlain married Mr. A. F. Perkins, who served through the war in the First Minnesota Infantry. She died No- vember 18, 1893, at St. Cloud, Minn., and was buried with mili- tary honors.
