HISTORY OF ELIZABETHTOWN
On motion of Oliver Abel it was resolved to raise $350 for each volunteer credited to the town on its quota. A committee of three, consisting of Richard L. Hand, Oiver Abel, Jr., and Levi D. Brown, was appointed to raise the sum required for the purpose. The necessary amount was raised and the quota filled.
March 1, 1864, at the annual town meeting a resolution offered by Byron Pond was adopted to the effect that the credit of the town be pledged to pay $300 to volunteers and drafted men "who have been or may be credited on the Presi- dent's last call for 500,000 men and who shall not have received a town bounty." The wife and child of Cornelius Brittell of the 93d Vols., were provided $6 per month until further notice and $5 a month was also provided toward the proper maintenance of Martin Kelly's family.
July 27, 1864, another special town meeting was held and . it was voted to pay $300 town bounty to all credits on the call for 500,000 made July 18, 1864. The following named men were appointed recruiting officers :
Levi De Witt Brown, Oliver Abel, Jr., Herbert Asa Putnam, John H. Glidden and Horace B. Lincoln,
August 30, 1864, another special town meeting was held to consider the advisability of raising $350 additional bounty for each volunteer, in addition to that offered previous to any draft. Charles H. Noble, Byron Pond and Matthew Hale were designated to sell bonds and pay bounties.
February 6, 1865, another special town meeting was held for further consideration of the bounty question, at which time it was voted to raise a bounty fund, by tax, of $10,000, or so much thereof as should be necessary, with which to pay boun- ties on the then last call of President Lincoln.

News of the surrender of General Robert E. Lee reached Elizabethtown a day or two after the 10th of April, 1865, and great rejoicing followed, here as elsewhere. And well might the people of every community rejoice, as it was the end of the mightiest civil conflict recorded in the annals of history.
In the year 1864 two men appeared in Elizabethtown who were afterwards prominent in business affairs here-Richard Remington and Jay Cooke, the great financier. Richard Rem- ington bought property here and at once became interested in iron making, being associated with Perry Fletcher. Jay Cooke had just passed through the ordeal of raising the funds with which to finance the civil war and when he came here with his brother-in-law, Mr. Moorhead, to see about buying forge property, ore beds, etc., it didn't take but a short time to convince him that it was a good opportunity to go fishing. Upon that occasion he went fishing and for 40 successive years he came to Elizabethtown to try for the speckled beauties. In 1864 Jay Cooke and others purchased the Nigger Hill ore bed (Haasz bed) property of the heirs of Henry R. Noble, Charles Henry Noble arranging for the sale, the consideration being $100,000.
In 1865 and 1866 Elizabethtown's Supervisor was Matthew Hale.
