*Col. Preston Relief Corps No. 10, Department of Vermont, of Wells River, Vt., was instituted May 6, 1885, by Department Inspector, Mrs. Margaret H. Ide, of St. Johnsbury, Vt., with eighteen charter members. Sixty names, in all, have been enrolled. Five of the number have "fallen asleep." Sixteen have been transferred and discharged, leaving a present membership of thirty-nine. Mrs. Mary B. Goodwin was the first president of the corps. One hundred dollars and eleven cents has been expended in money, for relief; this includes the furnishing of a room in the Soldier's Home at Bennington, Vt. Quite a sum of money has been given to the Post, to aid in their relief work. Eighty-six dollars and fifteen cents is the estimated value of relief other than money, and the end is not yet; for, working as auxiliary to the G. A. R., and with the motto-Fraternity, charity and loyalty-the mission of this organization will end only when our last veteran is laid at rest, and the sons and daughters of veterans shall come to the front-shall assume our duties, and "Deck them with garlands, these soldiers of ours."


The veterans of the civil war who are members of Colonel Preston Post are given in the account of that organization. Those not given there, now residents of Newbury are:

"All the Newbury volunteers were members of Co. G, 1st Regiment Vt. Volunteer Infantry. They mustered into the U. S. service, May 16, 1898; started south the 23d day of May, going to Camp Thomas, Chickamauga Park, Ga., where they remained during the summer. Upon cessation of hostilities the regiment was sent back to Fort Ethan Allen, Vt., arriving there the 23rd day of September, 1898; were furloughed for thirty days, and mustered out of service the 28th day of November, 1898. While the regiment saw no active service, the long period of inaction in camp was a harder test of endurance than any active campaign, and the regiment was individually a skeleton of its former self, when it once more stood on good Vermont soil. The Newbury men all returned safely, though several were very seriously ill with typhoid and malarial fevers. Corporal Jackson, Privates Greenwood, Bailey and Hunter have re-enlisted, and are now in the Philippines doing service against the natives.".

I N the following lists are given the names of the principal town officers, and those who were residents of Newbury, while holding state offices.

Town meetings were held in houses and barns until the first meeting house was built, in which, and its successors, they were held for many years. In the '30s the town met frequently at Samuel Gibson's tavern, where Oscar Renfrew now lives, at the Center. There were several efforts to build a town-house, but they came to

nothing. The present town-house was built in 1839, at a cost of about $800. The land on which it stands was given by Charles George, who also gave the timber for the frame. It was repaired and painted in 1888. Several efforts have been made to remove the town-house to Newbury village or to West Newbury, but without avail.


The moderators of annual meetings are given in the following list, but not those of special meetings. After 1790, many of these latter were of little importance. In one year there were seventeen town meetings.
