At special meeting, September 21, 1864: "Voted, to raise the sum of $27,000 to be appropriated in bounties of $1,000 each for volunteer citi- zens of the town of Haverhill, who shall enlist and enter the service of

the United States and be counted on the quota of Haverhill on the last call of the president for 500,000 men."
At special meeting, January 17, 1865: "Voted, to raise and appro- priate money or bounty to such person who shall be mustered into service to fill the quota of this town under the last call of the president for 300,000 troops, whether such person shall have voluntarily enlisted, or volun- teered as a drafted or enrolled man of Haverhill, such bounty not to exceed, in addition to the state bounty, the sum of $100 for each one- year man, $200 for each two-year man, $300 for cach three-year man, and also a bounty of $300 for each person who may for three months preceding have been an inhabitant of the town and enlisted in its quota and actually mustered into service for one year."
At special meeting, February 17, 1865: "Voted, to raise and appro- priate money to fill quota under call of the president December 20, 1864, for 300,000 men, in accordance with provisions of act of the New Hamp- shire Legislature, approved August 19, 1864, and that the selectmen take such measures as they think best to fill the quota of the town under this last call, and to hire money for such purpose on the best terms that can be secured."
At annual meeting, March 14, 1865: "Voted, that the selectmen be authorized to fill future quotas of the town for men on the best terms possible and to raise money on the best terms it can be procured."
The beginning of the end had come however, and there were no more quotas and no more enlistments to be secured. These rates quoted, indicate the difficulty of securing volunteers as the most of the war passed without the stimulus of substantial bounties. All the patriotism was not monopolized by the men and boys who donned uniforms and went to the front. There has been a tendency to forget the men who remained at home, who toiled and sacrificed to furnish the sinews of war, who paid the regular war taxes assessed in multifarious forms, and the extra- ordinary taxes which they assessed on themselves to pay bounties to the men who enlisted. When the war was over it was found that the town had voted for bounties and for assistance to the families of soldiers no less than $77,900 and this with the total valuation of all its property at about $950,000. It was a debt to be met. It was funded, and in 1885, the last dollar was paid.
The men who volunteered from Haverhill, were for the most part men and boys who wore the uniforms of privates, who fought in the ranks. Haverhill furnished no officers of marked distinction. Few indeed held commissions of any sort, and the few commissions were earned. The record of service, a summary of which follows, is that of the average volunteer soldier, the record for the most part of boys. It is an hon- orable record:
