Miss Hannah Maria George, daughter of Gilman C. George, has a literary gift, and is a writer of good repute in her sphere.
The individual who was conducting the Weekly Union at Manchester during the first stages of the war, received from an anonymous hand and published the following beautiful poem. Let the author (what- ever his name) be enrolled among the literary char- acters of the town.
PEACE FOREVERMORE.
When shall the sound of cannon's roar, and rattle Of shot and shell, that fall like rain,
No more be heard, and the smoke of battle Be seen no more upon the plain ?
When will the moon rise calmly o'er the field of glory, The stars their pure, soft radiance shed
O'er blood-stained soil, where lie, in vestments gory,
The wounded ones,-the dying, and the dead ? 31

HISTORY OF WARNER.
When will the stars and stripes,-Flag of the Free,- Now trailing in the dust of civil war and crime, Be reared again upon the staff of Liberty,
To float triumphant through every age of time ?
O'er our fair land, "in majesty stalks Sorrow ;" Pale, ghastly Death rides on before ; And millions cry, Oh ! when will dawn the morrow Of Unity and Peace forevermore ?
Warner, June 25, 1861.

MILITARY HISTORY OF WARNER - THE REVOLUTION - ALARM . . AT COOS-WAR WITH FRANCE THREATENED-WAR OF 1812- THE REBELLION-STATE MILITIA.
ARNER was not settled till after the French wars ended, but she had a small population when the Revolution broke upon the country, and the patriotism she displayed was not inferior to that of other towns. Warner men were at Bunker Hill with Stark, and at Bennington under the same commander. They were at Saratoga and West Point. They were in Rhode Island and in Canada. They were at Mon- mouth and Morristown. In fact, they were in most of the battles of the Revolution east of the Susque- hanna. Some of those men returned; others were killed ; and still others were reported " missing."
Not among the suffering wounded ; Not among the peaceful dead ; Not among the prisoners. Missing- That was all the message said.
Ten Warner men, on the alarm at Lexington, in April, 1775, seized such arms as they had, and hast- ened to the scene of action. This was fourteen months prior to the Declaration of Independence.
478
HISTORY OF WARNER.
Before their arrival at Cambridge the British had been driven back in disorder and defeat. It was not certain when they would attempt another advance from Boston. It was not certain that they ever would. All America was aroused, and a volunteer army of thirty thousand men had assembled in and about Cambridge a few days after the "Concord fight." Twenty thousand of these (most of whom were poorly prepared for the service) were sent home by the American generals. Probably most, perhaps all, of these ten Warner men returned to their homes. As they were not organized into any regiment or com- pany, their names are borne upon no roll. The state allowed Warner for this service as follows :
£ S.
Lexington, ten men-1775-22 10
This was about $7.50 to a man; from which it ap- pears that the service must have been of short dura- tion. The presumption is, however, that a part or all of these men subsequently entered the service at the call of the country for soldiers. On the 17th day of the June following " the alarm at Lexington," War- ner was well represented at Bunker Hill, as was New Hampshire generally. It is proper to state here that the American army consisted of about 1500 men in that battle, and that one thousand of these were New Hampshire soldiers !

To this list may be added the names of a number of Revolutionary patriots who entered the service from other places, but who settled in Warner shortly after the war, and ended their days here.
Asa Putney was one of these. He went into the service from Hopkinton ; had an arm shattered by a musket-ball at Bennington ; settled in school district No. 8. The following record appears in the archives of the state :
Paid Sergeant Asa Putney, of Gen. Stark's Brigade, wounded . at Bennington Aug. 16, 1777, for his half pay from Sept. 24, 1777, to Sept. 24, 1779, 24 months, at 30s., £36.
Joseph Burnap served in the army; after the war he settled in Warner, in school district No. 8, as now numbered. He came from Reading, Mass. The farm on which he was reared was light and sandy, and he determined, on changing his residence, to shun “ mul- len-stalk " land. He ran into the other extreme, and settled on a very hard, rocky soil. But he was indus-

trious, frugal, and satisfied. He had two sons and two daughters, all of whom have passed on, except the widow of David E. Harriman. She still survives, though rising 80 years of age.
Charles Barnard, another Revolutionary soldier, came after the war, and settled on Burnt Hill. See another page.
William H. Ballard was a lieutenant in the Revolution.
Joseph B. Hoyt. See another page.
Stephen Badger. See another page. Anthony Clark was a waiter to Gen. Washington.
Dr. John Hall served several years; was at the battle of Bunker Hill.
ALARM AT COOS.
There was no Coos county in the days of the Rev- olution, and "Coos " meant the northern part of the state, above Hanover and Plymouth. Serious alarm was excited there in October, 1780, by the irruption into the eastern part of Vermont of a large body of Canadian Indians, led by one Horton, a British officer. With savage fury they plundered and burnt the town of Royalton, Vt., and killed and captured as many of the people as fell in their way. New Hampshire raised a volunteer force to hasten to the threatened locality, and Warner furnished fifteen men for the ex- pedition. The invading army took the alarm, and beat a hasty retreat.
Most of the men of Warner who were subject to military duty had gone into the army before this

alarm at Coös occurred, and the fifteen who sprang to arms to repel the threatened incursion were mostly old men and boys under age. They were never organized into any company, and hence no rolls of these men are in existence. The state allowed them £12 17s., or $2.66 each. Their service was short, consisting of a march of fifteen miles out and back. The name of one of these patriots has come down to us by tradi- tion. This is Jacob Hoyt, inn-keeper, and dealer in ashes, at the Carter place. The alarm came in the forenoon of the day, and the men gathered up such equipments as they could find, and hurried off before noon. Hoyt had n't a spear of hair on his head, but he had a great shaggy wig, which he wore on select occasions. He hunted up an old knapsack, into which he threw his wig, a half loaf of bread, and a pound or two of cheese. They marched up over "Kimball's Hill," in Sutton, reached the "Hominy Pot," in New London, that night, and went into camp. They made. their suppers of such as they had, and went to sleep. They awoke in the morning and took breakfast. Our hero then pulled the wig out of the bottom of the knapsack, and, brushing the crumbs of bread and cheese out of the hair, adjusted it to his bald head, and complacently remarked,-" I'll let the British know if they kill me, they 'll kill somebody."
But the sacrifice was not demanded. The men had gone but a mile in the morning, when they were met

by a horseman, who came with orders for them to return to their homes.
WAR WITH FRANCE THREATENED.
In 1799'war between the United States and France was threatened, and, as a precautionary measure, the authorities filled up the ranks of the American army. Enlistments were brisk for a time, and a small num- ber of Warner men entered the service.
Jacob Davis, a son of Wells, and grandson of Fran- cis, was one of these. He was stationed, a number of years, at one of the forts in Boston harbor. He was afterwards a captain in the state militia. He had two sons,-Dr. Daniel and Henry,-and one daughter, the wife of Daniel Bean, Jr. He died at Waterloo, a few years since, at a great age.
Winthrop D. Ager was another of these soldiers. He was in the service twenty years ; was a sergeant- major at the battle of Tippecanoe. He died at East- port, Me., in 1821.
Ammi Peabody, a son of Jedediah, was another, and Israel Collins another. There may have been others still, whose names cannot be ascertained.
