The convenience of the voters at the March meetings had not received the attention so important a matter as the sub- ject demanded. Farmers residing at the farthest removed point from the "Street" and Center had been obliged to drive, ride horseback or walk to the single polling place at the Center each year in order to record their wishes and preferences at town and freemen's meetings. It may be said that this duty for the most part was uncomplainingly performed in all kinds of weather and under all kinds of difficulties in the way of bad roads and inadequate transportation. The same spirit might well prod our latter day electorate into a similar sense of public obligation. With this matter of convenience in view at the March meeting in 1859 it was voted: "That the town and free- men's meetings be hereafter held alternately at the Street
II2
HISTORY OF WATERBURY, VERMONT
and at the Center-that is, one year at the Street and one year at the Center, commencing at the Street at our next March meeting." At a town meeting, May 14, 1860, it was voted: "To instruct the selectmen to act in conjunction with the selectmen of the town of Duxbury in building and estab- lishing a good and substantial Arch Bridge across Onion River (at the south end of the public highway on H. F. Janes' land), provided that the town of Waterbury shall be subject and obliged to pay only five hundred dollars for building said bridge and for the land damage of Albert Stern."
The decade of 1850-1860 marked no changes of importance in the business life of the town. The merchants in 1859 were: J. G. Stimson, C. N. Arms, Leland & Ashley, dry goods and groceries. I. C. & L. Brown, D. M. Knights, O. A. & C. C. Morse, groceries. W. W. Wells, flour and grain. C. & J. S. Graves, hardware, stoves, etc. J. F. Henry, drugs. D. E. Lucy, jeweller. J. M. Henry & Sons, wholesale patent medi- cines. Miss J. M. Cooke, millinery, Waterbury Village. W. W. Wells, Woodworth & Lyon, dry goods and groceries, Waterbury Center. Manufacturers: Thompson and Seabury, woolens. V. R. Blush, Henry Kneeland, leather. Hewett & Jones, stoves and hollow ware. James Crossett, lumber. M. W. Shirtliff, clapboards. E. W. Ladd, marble. Daniel Stowell, T. P. Glover, machinists. J. G. & E. A. Colby, machine shop, willow peeling machines and willow ware. J. M. Henry & Sons, Down's Elixir. There were five lawyers, four physicians, one dentist and six clergymen in the village and Center.
The daily village life was outwardly serene and undisturbed, but a slowly growing undercurrent of anxiety was felt among the groups of friendly disputants in the "old corner store" and other places where the townsmen gathered to talk over the ever-widening breach between the North and the South. It was as if the first faint, distant premonitions of what Water- bury would so soon be called upon to undergo were becoming gradually insistent. Nor was this anxiety allayed by the Buchanan administration. The Lincoln-Douglas debates had been eagerly followed by the people of Waterbury and
II3
PERIOD 1850-1875
gave rise to minor local schisms as the grave issues of the day were unfolded. And so the decade ended, while the thought- ful were gravely considering the signs of the times and the wise-acres, no less in evidence then than now, were vociferously predicting disaster.
A résumé of Waterbury's vote at Freeman's meetings will indicate the revulsion of feeling from the comparatively indif- ferent Whig attitude to the solidified Republican or new party sentiment.
In 1852 at the September meeting, Governor John S. Robin- son received 135 votes in Waterbury; Erastus Fairbanks re- ceived 106, and Laurence Brainard the same number. The presidential electoral vote in November of that year gave the Franklin Pierce electors, in Waterbury, 66 as against Winfield Scott's Whig electors' 92, and this in spite of Pierce's unpopu- larity. A third set of electors received each, 55.
In 1853 Governor Robinson succeeded himself, receiving locally 217 votes, to Erastus Fairbanks' 105 and L. Brainard's 95.
In 1854 Governor Stephen Royce received 191 votes, as against Merritt Clark's 129.
In 1855 Governor Royce succeeded himself, receiving Water- bury's 238 votes, to Merritt Clark's 158.
In 1856 Governor Ryland Fletcher had 260 votes locally, to Henry Keyes' 125. At the November meeting, 1856, the Fremont Republican presidential electors received each 289, as against 113 for the Democratic group representing the local strength of James Buchanan, the successful Democratic candidate.
In 1857 Governor Ryland Fletcher received 210 votes, to Henry Keyes' 121.
In 1858 and 1859 there are apparently no records in the town clerk's office of the gubernatorial votes of those years.
With the approach of the spring of 1860 the Anti-Slavery sentiment had become so strong that the nomination of Abra- ham Lincoln in May and his election in November caused dark forebodings among the more radical of the Abolitionists in Waterbury and the surrounding towns. They remembered
II4
HISTORY OF WATERBURY, VERMONT
that Mr. Lincoln had declared: "I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the states where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so." This was not at all to the taste of those who had been fed up with William Lloyd Garrison's propaganda-and there were many such in this town and Washington County.
It is hardly possible at this day to give an adequate idea of how high party feeling ran among Waterbury's 2,198 souls during the early part of Lincoln's first administration. In some instances the radical Abolitionists were even louder in their denunciation of the President than the Democrats. When the first company of troops was about to leave Waits- field for the front, a certain Abolitionist Lincoln-hater was ridden on a rail by the boys of the company. Realizing that the state of public feeling at the time precluded any form of substantial legal redress, he waited until the war was over and then sued the captain of the offending company and recov- ered damages in $700. In the old "corner store" in Water- bury a merchant became involved in a wrangle with a com- mercial traveler, in which the merchant made some slighting reference to the President. He was promptly knocked down by the irate drummer. Being a very dignified man he con- sulted with a friend about seeking legal redress for the assault. His friend advised him to do nothing because it would be impossible to find an unprejudiced jury in the community at that time. He saw the reason and swallowed the affront.
The first call for troops by the President was for 75,000 militia of the several states to suppress the combinations against the execution of the laws of the United States in South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. This call was made in the form of a proclamation, dated April 15, 1861, in which Congress was called to convene in special session July 4, "then and there to consider and determine such measures as, in their wisdom, the public safety and interest may seem to demand." How promptly Water- bury responded to the call for troops may be gathered from the fact that a company was recruited and drills were begun in the
II5
PERIOD 1850-1875
early days of May. This was one of the ten companies se- lected by Adjutant-General Baxter to make up the Second Regiment, the first of the three years regiments. This first move at raising troops in Waterbury was made by Captain Charles Dillingham, afterwards lieutenant-colonel of the Eighth Vermont. Through his efforts the first company was raised and drilled which should have been Company A, by reason of its priority, but which went out as Company D in the Second Vermont Regiment of Infantry, owing to delay in the adjustment of the minutiae of the official national muster. The ten companies comprising the Second Regiment were recruited from the towns of Bennington, Brattleboro, Burlington, Castleton, Fletcher, Ludlow, Montpelier, Tun- bridge, Vergennes and Waterbury. The history of this famous regiment makes stirring reading, taking part, as it did, in twenty-eight engagements from Bull Run, July 21, 1861, to Sailor's Creek, April 6, 1865, inclusive.
Mr. Franklin Carpenter, a mere lad of between fifteen and sixteen years when the war broke out, relates how, after obtaining the consent of his parents, he enlisted as a drummer with Company D. Drills were had first in Waterbury, then for a short time in Northfield and finally at the mobilization camp in Burlington, known as "Camp Underwood" on the old fair ground. Here the oath of allegiance was administered to the troops by United States District Judge Smalley. One unfortunate recruit declined to take the oath at the last minute and was given a taste of military sentiment in the practical form of being drummed out of camp. From Burlington the regiments were transported to Washington with stops in Troy, New York, and New York City. On the 26th of June the regiment went into camp on Capitol Hill, Washington, where it remained two weeks occupied in daily drills.
Mr. Carpenter recalls the impressions made on his youthful mind by the magnificent appearance of the New York Zouaves under Colonel Ellsworth at Alexandria, Virginia, where the Vermont Second was quartered at Bush Hill. The aggregate number of officers and men, including gains in recruits of the Second Regiment, was 1,858; there were killed in action, 4

officers and 134 enlisted men; of those dying of wounds there were 2 officers and 80 enlisted men; deaths from disease were 139; deaths in Confederate prisons, not of wounds, were 22, and deaths from accidents were 3.
The history of the various Vermont regiments in which Waterbury was represented has already been written with such ·telling force as might well be inspired by the deeds the histo- rian chronicled. The list of officers and men who entered the service as from Waterbury numbers approximately 250. These were divided up among the Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Thirteenth, Fifteenth and Seventeenth Regiments of Infantry, also C Cavalry. As we shall see, there were more Waterburyites in the Second, Tenth, Thirteenth and Seventeenth Regiments than in the others named. The number of engagements in which the Third Regiment had honorable part between Lewinsville, Sep- tember II, 1861, and Petersburg, April 2, 1865, were twenty- eight-with two exceptions the same battles in which the Sec- ond Regiment was also engaged. This is true also of the Fourth Regiment, the Fifth Regiment and the Sixth Regiment. The Seventh Regiment's list of engagements included Siege of Vicksburg, Baton Rouge, Gonzales Station, Mobile, Spanish Fort, and Whistler. The Eighth's list numbered eleven between the occupation of New Orleans, May, 1862, and Newtown, November 12, 1864. The list of the Ninth's battles. included Harper's Ferry, September 13, 1862; Newport Bar- racks, Chapin's Farm, Fair Oaks and Fall of Richmond, April 3, 1865. The Tenth Regiment was made up of companies recruited in Bradford, Burlington, Waterbury, Rutland, Swanton, St. Albans, Derby Line, and Ludlow. Company B was from Waterbury and was organized August 4, 1862, by Captain Edwin Dillingham.
As a spur to the gaining of recruits, large bounties were personally pledged by private individuals and premiums offered of $2.00 per capita of recruits by the general govern- ment to recruiting officers. By the first of September, 1862, the Tenth Regiment of 1,016 officers and men was mustered into service in the camp at Brattleboro. Several of the
II7
PERIOD 1850-1875
officers had already seen service, notably Colonel Jewett, who had previously served as first lieutenant with the First Regi- ment, Major William W. Henry, who had been lieutenant of Company D, Second Regiment, and Surgeon Child of the First Regiment. From the time when the Regiment went into its first engagement (Orange Grove, November 27, 1863) until it emerged from its last (Sailor's Creek, August 6, 1865), its record was unvarying as to its readiness, courage and efficiency. The esprit de corps remained intact throughout the inevitable epidemic of regimental politics. The total deaths of the . regiment, including those killed in action (83), those who died of wounds (58), who died of disease (153), those who died in Confederate prisons (38) and deaths by accident (2), were 332.
The Battle of the Opequon on the 19th of September will long remain in the memory of loyal sons of Waterbury as the historic engagement in which the brilliant, gallant young Major Edwin Dillingham was struck by a solid shot and killed.
The Battle of Cedar Creek on the 19th of October was a decisive engagement in which Colonel William W. Henry, though hardly convalescent from a sharp illness, was in com- mand. At the critical point in the ebbing and flowing of advantage to the Union forces, and when, hardly pressed along the whole line, they began to retreat slowly, exposed to a cross-fire of musketry and artillery, Captain Lucien D. Thomp- son of Waterbury was killed. Captain Thompson assisted Major Dillingham in the recruiting of Company B. In December, 1862, he was promoted to a first lieutenancy in Company G. He was reserved and retiring and his almost painful modesty made him hesitate to accept promotion, but it came when he was made captain of Company D, after a baptism of fire in a dozen battles. His body was allowed to remain on the battlefield for several hours and when found it had been partially stripped by the enemy. It was brought to Waterbury for burial. Speaking of the morale of the regiment in this battle, Colonel Henry says in his report: "It is impossi- ble to particularize any officers or men, where all so fully per- formed their duty and behaved so nobly."
The Seventeenth Regiment, although the last recruited in
II8
HISTORY OF WATERBURY, VERMONT
Vermont and necessarily having the briefest history in point of time, nevertheless crowded into its eleven months of active service in the field 13 fiercely fought battles, in which of the aggregate of 1,118 officers and men, 70 were killed in action; 61 died of wounds; 57 died of disease; 279 total wounded, and 32 died in Confederate prisons. Of the twenty-two men from Waterbury in the Seventeenth Regiment two were commis- sioned officers, Second Lieutenant J. Edwin Henry of Com- pany K, and Second Lieutenant Wilbur E. Henry of Com- pany K. In the final assault on Petersburg, April 2, 1865, the regiment had about three hundred men in line in com- mand of Major Knapp. It made a first assault on the works at the right of Fort Mahone but was compelled to fall back to the rifle pits. Rallying for the second time the regiment advanced to a second assault. During this battle, which was the last the regiment was to engage in, Second Lieutenant J. Edwin Henry of Waterbury was killed. He was a brother of General William W. Henry and is described in these words by the historian, Benedict: "Though a youth of but nineteen years, he had already shown himself to be a capable and gal- lant officer." His body was brought back to Waterbury and buried April 30, 1865.
The Waterbury contingent in the single cavalry regiment from Vermont appears to have numbered less than a dozen men. The history of the regiment shows that it comprised from the beginning to the last 2,297 officers and men and was raised under the direct authority of the United States, instead of being recruited under the state authorities. Company C was recruited in Washington County and was captained by William Wells whose genius as a cavalry commander was afterwards extolled by such chieftains as General Sheridan and General Custer. The number of killed in the regiments' seventy-five engagements were 63 officers and men; those dying of wounds were 39; those dying of disease were 112; those dying unwounded in Confederate. prisons were approxi- mately 130. The regiment averaged participation in two engagements each month between Mount Jackson, April 16, 1862, and Appomattox Court House, April 9, 1865, inclusive.

PERIOD 1850-1875
The rapid rise to promotion and distinction of Captain William Wells will be noted later in a brief sketch of that intrepid leader.
Time has softened many asperities and mellowed many a disposition to criticise and find fault. If President Lincoln found it in his heart to make allowances for dereliction in military duty and to intercede for unfortunate offenders, it ill becomes us at this late day, without any knowledge of the merits of each case, to condemn those Waterbury soldiers whose shortcomings have been officially recorded. "There was glory enough to go 'round," as Admiral Schley said of the naval battle of Santiago in 1898. The frailties of the brave men who went from Waterbury have been bathed in the lustre of their achievements as a whole. A far abler panegyrist has eloquently spoken on Waterbury's soldiers in the language of affectionate regard that can be commanded only by one having had intimate and neighborly association with them. Indeed, when all is said, the Memorial Day offering of May 30, 1914. will stand as a masterpiece in that regard.
