women was, 'what can we spare, that our soldiers may have more.' Mites, concerts, fairs, entertainments of every kind centered upon the soldier. Needles were busy. We heard the men were suffering from the heat of the sun. In an increditable short space of time we had made and sent two hundred havelocks. Scores of comfortable dressing gowns were furnished the sick soldiers. Delicate women were not afraid of sun and shower, but raised garden vege- tables, sought fruit in forest, field and nursery, dried, canned and packed it off, amounting in all to tons in weight. Interesting books and papers were not forgotten. When our dead were brought home, our women buried them with flowers and tears. When our living came back we greeted them with gratitude, and sumptuously fed them and their families.
" Our women prayed for the soldiers. For one entire year a daily morning prayer-meeting in their behalf was sus- tained and women were never wanting there. When Presi- dent Lincoln appointed a fast, when the wail of the people was, 'Give us Joshuas for officers ;' 'Send us victory,' the heads of women were bowed low in supplication. When the Emancipation Proclamation was issued, the quick instinct of women saw that Jehovah was now pledged for us, and that triumph was ahead. They retired to their secret chambers and kneeling by their beds gave glory to God. Our women solicited the money for the beautiful memorial tablets in our Town Hall. Let all who look at these remember Mrs. Marianne Woodward and Mrs. Dr. Marsh. It is not in our power to single out the names of the faithful and the true. The list would fill many pages. Our women did what they could. They did what they thought they couldn't. Their record is on high.
" From old Saint Paul till now, Of honorable women not a few Have left their golden ease to do The saintly work which Christ-like hearts pursue."
Of East Palmyra we have the following note from Mrs. Henry M. Clark:
" We met a part of the time from house to house. I remember that Mrs. Charles Curtis, was our President for some 'months, and a very active one too. Her daughter, Clarissa, performed the greatest feat in the knitting line, finishing a pair of socks, 'perfect immensities,' in eight hours and twenty minutes. Have you found any young lady who did better than that? The other day I found a little note book, used in those times, in which are the follow- ing items : April, 1864, Avails of Concerts, $49.45. Amount

received since organization, $174.37. These are all the figures I can find, so we shall be obliged to content ourselves with these in your new book. Would it not be interesting to see the number of boxes and barrels we sent off. remember helping to fill one large barrel of pickles, and my sister made 14 bottles of rhubarb wine. Such things come to mind now, after almost twenty years have passed away. ·
ROSE.
In the Clyde. Times we find a single paragraph :
" Rose, June 6th, 1862. The women of this town sent a box to be forwarded with those of Clyde, worth probably $75.00."
Mrs. A. W. Soule writes :
" I have obtained but little information. The Aid Society here had many members. I can now remember only the following names : Miss Ella Skeels and Della Holbrook, Vice-Presidents ; Luella Webb, Libbie Nichols, Imogene Nichols, Corine Thomas, Agnes Thompson, Cora M. Thayer, Josephine Austin, Orra Dickson, Hattie Ellenwood, Mary Ellenwood, Lilly Harmon. There were many others. Several of the younger boys used to help scrape lint and assist in other ways."
Other items gathered in various ways show that Mrs. Charles Wright, Mrs. J. Valentine, Mrs. Soule, (who wrote the above) were active in promoting the work, and that they were cordially assisted by the ladies of nearly all the families of the town. A large amount of patriotic labor was accomplished, but the records of names, amounts and destination are not preserved.
SAVANNAH.
Considerable enquiry has been made and several letters written asking for information as to the womens' work in Savannah, during the years 1861-'65. But little response has been obtained, and that only of a general character ; neither names of officers, nor amounts contributed are given. It is well understood that as in other towns, so in Savannah, active exertions were made by the ladies to furnish supplies for hospitals, comforts for soldiers, and delicacies for Thanksgiving Dinners.
SODUS.
A large amount of work was done in Sodus, but the items are difficult to gather up for a formal statement. The town
652
MILITARY HISTORY OF WAYNE COUNTY.
having so many different villages the work was not con_ centrated in any one place, nor was it managed by any one society. There were gatherings very early at Sodus village, to scrape lint, prepare hospital supplies, and share in all that patriotic work which was inaugurated in all parts of the county. No records of an organized society have been found, and statistics are not obtainable as to the amount of money raised or the value of articles contributed. The good work was steadily prosecuted through all the war, and the value of the donations must have reached into the hundreds beyond doubt.
In the Lyons Republican, of April 10th, 1863, we find the following paragraph which shows that there was a duly organized Aid Society at Sodus Centre :
ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
" We give place to the following letter from the Secretary of the Ladies' Union Aid Society, Stewart's Hospital, Baltimore, acknowledging the receipt of a barrel of hospital stores sent in January by the Ladies' Aid Society in Sodus Centre. The last named Society has failed to get an answer until now ; on account of which (a correspondent writes) that Society has with difficulty been kept alive by a few whose heart was in the work. The letter of acknowledgment is dated March 26th, 1863, and is as follows :
" To the Secretary of the Ladies' Aid, Sodus Centre :
" It is with sincere regret that we find, at this late date, that you have failed to receive our acknowledgments and thanks for the Hospital Stores so kindly sent us by the Ladies of Sodus Centre, and received January 8th, 1863. Why this should be, we cannot explain, since we have made every effort to be prompt in our acknowledgments of similar favors. I find upon our record-book such a barrel acknowl- edged by Mrs. Van Wagner, one of our Vice-Presidents ; whether a similar acknowledgment was sent you, I cannot say, not being Secretary at that time, but, if omitted, it is an omission for which we now make our apologies most sincerely, and offer our greatful return of thanks, and assurance of the acceptability of your gift. Hoping this may reach you, and assuring you of our full appreciation of your generosity and kindness to our Association and the soldiers under our care, we remain yours,
Respectfully, April 10th, 1863.
MRS. JOHN T. GRAHAM, Corresponding Sec'y."

MILITARY HISTORY OF WAYNE COUNTY.
At Sodus Point, Mrs. Frances Wickham has fortunately preserved a memorandum book that is really worthy of being carefully saved as a patriotic souvenir of the times that tried the souls of all. An Aid Society was organized August 12th, 1862, at the residence of Mrs. Lyalls. Mrs. Frances Wickham, President; Miss A. M. Cook, Secretary and Mrs. David Rogers, Treasurer. Subsequently it appears that Mrs. Lyalls became President and Mrs. Smith Treas- urer. A subscription paper was circulated soon after, and there appears upon it the name of almost every family residing at or near the Point. The subscriptions were mostly one dollar or less, but so general was the response that a considerable amount was raised. Mrs. Hunter gave twenty-five dollars. There are also acknowledged a large number of donations of supplies of all kinds, linen, pillows, curtains, towels, &c., dried fruit, vegetables, &c., &c. Several boxes were filled and sent forward, sufficient to require a freight charge of ten dollars. No estimate of the total value appears in the memorandum, but it could not have been less than $150.00.
The work at South Sodus was largely mingled with that of the town of Lyons, and cannot very well be separated from it. The following paragraph shows that fact :
PATRIOTIC BENEVOLENCE.
" The ladies of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in the village and town of Lyons, and of the southern part of the town of Sodus, have filled and sent three large boxes to the Hospital at Washington, in response to the call of the Government upon the 'loyal women of America.' It seems almost invidious to discriminate when all have done so well ; yet justice demands that it should be stated that the success of the movement (in the country) is due to Mrs. Ransley Merchant, who entered into the work with characteristic efficiency, and succeeded in obtaining a suffi- cient quantity of articles to fill two of the three boxes sent. The 'blessing of those who are ready to perish' will surely come upon the kind contributors, as well as the higher blessings of him, who said ‘ Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my bretheren, ye have done it unto Me.' November 8th, 1861."
In the fall of 1864, a general movement was made all over the town to procure fruit, vegetables, chickens, turkeys and
654
MILITARY HISTORY OF WAYNE COUNTY.
eatables generally, suitable for a Thanksgiving dinner, or for hospital use. The work was thoroughly systematized. A committee was appointed in each school district, and four or five general points of collection were appointed. The circular making the arrangements, was issued by L. H. Clark. Major W. H. Sentell, superintended the packing and shipment in part. So far as known every member of the committee, more than sixty in number, responded nobly, and an amount of supplies valued at about $400.00 left the town. At Alton, at Joy, at Centenary, and in all the other neighborhoods of the town excellent work was done through all the war.
WALWORTH.
During the first year of the war, very much assistance was given to the soldiers, by the women of this town, but not through an organized Society. As the struggle deep- ened in intensity, the work took more definite shape, as appears by the following memorandum furnished for this volume :
" The ladies of Walworth and vicinity met August 13th, 1862, and organized the Walworth Soldiers' Aid Society. President, Mrs. A. Hicks; Vice-President, Mrs. L. Hanna ; Treasurer, Mrs. T. G. Yeomans; Secretary, Mrs. F. Sanford. The members of this Society actuated by a desire to help sustain the Government in its struggle with open rebellion, seeing the magnitude of the work and its great necessity, with anxious hearts and willing hands, labored faithfully to alleviate as far as possible the inevitable suffering of the sick and wounded soldiers. In this good work the Society had the co-operation of the community as mutual interest in the cause bound all hearts together. Many barrels and boxes of clothing, bedding and hospital supplies, were forwarded through the agency of the U. S. Sanitary Com- mission. The money and value of materials contributed during the war amounted to four hundred and ninety- eight dollars, ($498.) In the winter of 1866-'67, fifty dollars ($50) were contributed for the support of a teacher among the Freedmen."
WILLIAMSON.
At Williamson village, an Aid Society was duly formed, and met regularly for work in behalf of the soldiers. Usu- ally the place of meeting was the basement of the Presby-
655
MILITARY HISTORY OF WAYNE COUNTY.
terian Church. The admission fee of members was one dollar. We have no record of the officers nor of the amounts raised, nor of the boxes sent, but the total during the war must have reached several hundred dollars. Of the work at Pultneyville, Mrs. J. W. Powers writes :
"The women of Pultneyville, united in a body without organizing a Society, and worked in this way. A responsi- ble woman would call on a few other women and the magic word would. go around that forthwith a box or barrel must be sent to our brave soldiers. It was sure to be done. I know of a goodly number sent in this way filled with any- thing we thought would be needed ; such as white cotton shirts, drawers, stockings, carpet slippers, bundles of soft linen and cotton cloth, rolls and rolls of bandages. dried fruit, honey, and many other things. When money was called for it was sent on. At first we received and packed the goods at some private house in the village, but thinking it would be more convenient to meet where we could spread things and cut out work, we went into the old Metho- dist Church and worked there till cold weather. About this time a wish was expressed by Dr. A. F. Sheldon, surgeon in the hospital at Washington, to give the invalid soldiers a Thanksgiving dinner. As soon as it was known by the women of Pultneyville, they said it must be done, and it was. Three women started out and went two miles each way, and in less than a week we had turkeys, chickens, fried cakes, pies, cheese, fruit, &c., &c., enough to feed them all they wanted, on the way to Washington, where it arrived in good condition and on time."
WOLCOTT.
We find this single item in the newspapers of 1864:
" The Soldiers Aid Society, of Wolcott, held a festival, about April ist, 1864, and netted a result of $75.00. The total remittances of that Society up to that date were reported to have been about $600.00."
This indicates what is well known that the ladies of Wolcott were actively at work during the whole contest, and raised liberal supplies for all forms of relief work. Considerable enquiry has failed to discover the records of the Society, and the names of officers and other items can- not be given.
At Red Creek, which is so far distant from Wolcott vil- lage, that separate societies are usually formed for any such
656
MILITARY HISTORY OF WAYNE COUNTY.
purpose, there was active work done from the opening of the war in 1861, to the close in 1865. It is remembered that there were frequent gatherings to sew, knit, scrape lint, and prepare supplies such as are mentioned in all the other towns. No Society records have been obtained. Promi- nent in these efforts were Mrs. Chesebro, Mrs. Edmond Legg, Mrs. Longyear, Mrs. Caldwell, Mrs. Stephen Viele, Mrs. Donovan, Mrs. Amasa Quivey, Mrs. Stephen Quivey, and many others. Indeed nearly all the families in that section of the town shared in this noble work. At one time a box of supplies was packed at Mrs. Donovans. At another time there were heavy donations of chickens, turkeys and other choice eatables to give to the soldiers a Christmas dinner.
Such are the items obtained for this chapter. They may be meagre and unsatisfactory, so far as showing official records and statements of amounts contributed ; but they are rich in the wealth of patriotic love revealed ; in the noble self-sacrifice exhibited; in the devotion manifested. The days of chivalry were more than repeated. While brave men were on the battle-field of the Republic defending a peoples' rights, their wives, mothers and sisters were toiling unceasingly for their comforts. Those whose loved ones were already enrolled among the dead heroes of the Republic went bravely on, working for others. No amount of personal sorrow could stay the toil of the hands or stop the busy brain from planning for the soldiers' welfare. Men died for their country whose graves bear the single word " unknown; " and so the heroic women who toiled in home or hospital service, are in a thousand cases unknown; but their record is on high; a nation reveres their memory, though their names are lost in the tide of receding years.
CHAPTER XI.
GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC-POSTS ORGANIZED-OFFICERS-LISTS OF MEMBERS-VETERAN ASSOCIATION-DECORATION CEREMONIES-REUNIONS.
T HE armies employed in the defence of the Union, melted away at the proclamation of peace. Their work was done and well done. The United States had " re-possessed all the forts and places" seized by the rebels at the opening of the contest; the flag once more floated in triumph over every foot of the territory belong- ing to the American Union. The hosts of rebels disap- peared from the fields of a four years' struggle. The stars and bars were laid away to be cherished, perhaps in secret, but never again to be a symbol of government. The Union army dissolved peacably at the orders of the Republic, which they had saved. They had shared together the perils of the field, the dangers of the camp and the death-laden air of the hospital. They had been bound together by a common danger, and had suffered together for a common cause. Out of these relations had grown a friendship strong and enduring ; a friendship whose pulses would throb to the latest hour of their lives. And so in peace they resolved to perpetuate the patriotic memories of the war, and bind themselves together for mutual sympathy and mutual aid. Hence arose the Grand Army of the Republic. Its watch-words Loyalty, Fraternity, Charity, represent the best development of patriotic citizenship. They have assumed the noble work of preserving the memory of the heroic struggle in which the Union was saved, and of impressing upon the rising generation, that love of country which will be a strong defense of the Union in all coming time. As nature with each returning spring displays her wealth of flowers, the veterans of the Grand Army of the Republic gather the choicest specimens, and tenderly strew them upon the graves of their comrades. Under their
658
MILITARY HISTORY OF WAYNE COUNTY.
example, respect for the dead and for the burial places where they sleep is steadily growing in the hearts of all the people. Year by year citizens gladly accepting the leadership of the Grand Army of the Republic, join in the ceremonies. Visits to rough and neglected burial places for these sacred purposes, have awakened a popular desire to have such burial places cleared of underbrush ; the rubbish of years removed and nature given a chance to spread over the last resting place of the dead, the soft green turf which art may aid but can never imitate.
DECORATION.
Go, deck the graves of your dead once more, The heroes who died for you : With incense sweet as the vernal shower, And grateful fragrance of the May-day flower, And love that distills like the dew.
Go solemnly stand on the peaceful dust, Let the drum be muffled and soft,
For spirits unseen of a glorious host May be mixing your throng-let your strains be lost In the music they bring from aloft.
Go not with a pomp that is worldly and vain And the noise of an idle throng,
But march to the time of a minor strain,
And with bated breath and low refrain. As you bear your garlands along.
For a patriot's grave is a sacred shrine, Where the weary found rest at last ;
The moment is full of a thought divine,
And immortal things with your wreaths entwine,- But the martial eclat is past.
Go kneel on the consecrated ground, And scatter the sod with flowers, For a heart once brave rests under each mound,
Of a man that was loyal and faithful found, To the Flag of his Country and ours.
Go stand with uncovered and reverent head Till your patriot fire revives ; And ponder the deeds of your soldier-dead, Till the spirit that hallows their lowly bed Shall entemple itself in your lives.
The garlands and flowers ye bring to-day, Are a tribute to freedom's cause ; A pledge to be loyal, forever and aye,
A solemn vow to defend, alway, The Country's fair colors and laws.
Yes, kneel on this sacred, charnel ground, O'er the graves that enshrine your own : And lay a fair wreath on the cherished mound, With devotion as fair, living all the year round; Living still thro' the years that have flown.
A PARKE BURGESS.
